A Dragon's Delight

My Homemade Dragon Delight Bowl is one of my new healthy obsessions. Why? Because who can resist the color purple? It has always been my favorite color, but more than that Dragon Fruit is actually a superfood!

My easy recipe:

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup frozen dragon fruit

1/2 Cup frozen Bananas

2 Tblsp coconut milk

handful of fresh fruit of your choice

handful shredded unsweetened coconut

handful of chopped nuts

Directions:

Place frozen dragon fruit, bananas, & coconut milk in a high powered blender. I used a mini food processor. Blend until you reach a smooth creamy texture. It took me a good 3 minutes & I had to scrape down the sides a couple times. Pour this mixture into a bowl & top with fresh fruit (today I choose kiwi, strawberry, & blueberry), chopped nuts (I choose almond slivers), & unsweetened coconut shreds.

Eat & enjoy!!
