Hello pretty pink pitaya smoothie bowl of my dreams. I don’t know how appropriate it is to get this elated about a smoothie bowl but let’s just say in my house we all borderline fight over “who got more in their bowl.”

This pink pitaya smoothie bowl is my older sons latest breakfast obsession mainly because it looks (and tastes) like a bowl of fruity sorbert and includes “toppings.” Anything that makes it look and sound like ice cream right?

I like to set small bowls of various toppings out for my kids to top their own to up the fun factor of this antioxidant loaded breakfast.

How to Make the Best Smoothie Bowls

I like to use a mix of frozen fruit and yogurt, I find that the yogurt adds a super creamy consistency to the fruit and makes it tastes more like a frozen treat, if you prefer to keep it totally vegan frozen coconut cream works beautifully as well. Open a can of coconut milk and remove the solid cream from the top to a freezer safe container and freeze overnight.
Use a Food processor vs Blender. It’s easier to get that super creamy consistency in the processor but if you don’t have one a blender will work you’ll just have to press the mixture down around the sides a few times.
Once you make your smoothie base, distribute the mixture evenly into serving bowls and pop those in the freezer while you gather and prep your toppings. Giving it a few extra minutes in the freezer helps it set up so it doesn’t become a watery mess. (especially if you’re making these with kids!)
Get Creative with your Toppings and Bowls, make it look pretty – we eat with our eyes and smoothie bowls are such fantastic ways to add bright colors to our diets.

Here are a Few Topping Ideas for Pitaya Smoothie Bowls
