Blend together. Add the frozen pitaya, banana, berries, and coconut water to a high-powered blender. Blend on high for one minute, using the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades, until well combined. Alternatively, you could use a food processor as well.
Add toppings. Pour your pitaya smoothie into a bowl and add your favorite toppings.
Best served immediately. Leftover blended mixture will separate if refrigerated; store toppings separately and reassemble if needed.

Frozen pitaya works best for the thick bowl texture. Fresh pitaya contains less water than other fruits but will create a thinner consistency; use less coconut water or almond milk if substituting.
Pitaya (dragon fruit) is milder and slightly sweeter with larger black seeds; acai is earthier and more tart. Both work as smoothie bowl bases, though pitaya blends more smoothly.
Blend until well combined and thick enough to hold a spoon upright. If too thin, add more frozen fruit; if too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons more coconut water or almond milk.
Blend the base fresh and pour into bowls immediately for best texture. Pre-blended mixture will separate and thin out if stored.
Yes, when made with almond milk and vegan toppings. Verify nut butters and seeds are gluten-free if needed.
