Ingredients
Frozen Fruit
- 1 banana, chopped and frozen
- 1 cup mango, chopped and frozen
- 1 cup dragon fruit (pitaya), chopped and frozen
Liquid
- 1/4 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
Toppings (optional)
- Shredded coconut
- Fresh fruit (as desired)
- Nuts or nut butters
- Granola
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Thaw the Frozen Fruit: Add the frozen banana, mango, and dragon fruit to a food processor and let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to gently thaw, ensuring easier blending.
- Add Coconut Milk and Blend: Pour in the 1/4 cup of canned full-fat coconut milk, then process the mixture until it becomes very smooth and fluffy. Use the food processor’s pulse function as needed to achieve a creamy texture.
- Scrape Down the Sides: Use a spoon to push down any chunks of fruit that aren’t blending well to ensure an even and smooth texture throughout.
- Optimal Food Processor Loading: For best results, fill the processor bowl about halfway with the fruit mixture. Avoid overfilling or underfilling to allow the blades to efficiently blend the ingredients.
- Serve and Garnish: Spoon the creamy smoothie mixture into a bowl and top with your favorite shredded coconut, fresh fruits, nuts, nut butters, granola, or chocolate chips. Enjoy immediately like a soft serve ice cream treat!
Notes
- Use fully frozen fruit for the best texture, but allow a slight thaw to aid blending.
- Full-fat coconut milk adds creaminess; light coconut milk may result in a less creamy texture.
- You can substitute other tropical fruits like pineapple or papaya if desired.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more or less coconut milk.
- Consume immediately for the best texture and freshness.
