    Tropical Dragonfruit Pitaya Smoothie Bowl by Modern Honey - www.modernhoney.comWe've been seeing acai bowls everywhere for years but there is a newcomer fruit on the scene!  This fruit is gaining a lot of attention because of it’s vibrant beauty and natural sweetness. The Pitaya {Dragonfruit}, with it's gorgeous pink hue, makes a beautiful smoothie and is packed with healthy goodness. 

    I'm a Whole Food lover - it's Disneyland for us foodies! I recently won a $1,000 Whole Foods gift card for being the Grand Prize Winner of the Bai Smoothie Contest and you wouldn't believe how many smoothies and bowls we have consumed as a result. They run about $10 each which is no bueno for the budget so we had to figure out how to make them at home. The incredible thing about pitaya is that no matter what fruit combination I have used, they all tasted tropical, fresh, and sweet. 

    What's so good about dragonfruit?

    Pitaya is sweet,  so there's no adding sugar to the smoothie packs.  It's full of antioxidants - which neutralize free radicals that are detrimental to our bodies - plus they are packed with fiber, an important aid in digestion.

    What's the difference between a smoothie and a smoothie bowl?

    Basically, the only difference is that a bowl uses less liquid so it's firmer and can be eaten with a spoon. The best part is that you can top it off with all sorts of toppings from fresh fruit to coconut flakes to nuts to chia seeds. The sky is the limit! There's something about actually chewing your food that keeps you satisfied longer. It feels like a treat because it tastes so good without any added sugars.

    Where do you buy Pitaya (dragonfruit) smoothie packs?

    They are in the frozen section of grocery stores. Check out Sprouts, Whole Foods, and even Smart & Final. They are gaining in popularity so check out your local grocery store to see if they have begun stocking these beauties.

      Sounds delish! Would I be able to refrigerate these if I make more than one?
