Pitaya, or dragonfruit, is a delicious and exotic choice of fresh, juicy fruit. And because it comes frozen, you can enjoy it anytime of the year! Blend it with coconut water or juice and some frozen berries, and you have an irresistible snack. Pitaya is extremely rich in phytonutrients, vitamins C and B, helping to cleanse the body, eliminate free radicals and improving digestion too! Adding collagen protein also provides tons of benefits, including smoother skin, stronger teeth and enhanced athletic performance. And as a bonus: it’s beautiful and will make you beautiful!

Further Food Nutritionist Commentary:

Full of phytonutrients, this smoothie bowl is a great way to start your morning, afternoon, or even night! With antioxidants, vitamin C, and protein, this pitaya bowl will keep you feeling good and healthy. Topped with more vitamin rich fruit, how could you go wrong? We can't forget about the Further Food Collagen in this recipe, providing those essential protein peptides that promote bone and joint health among many other things.
