Before i tell you all what is this dragon fruit smoothie bowl, let me talk about a smoothie bowl first. Okay? So, this smoothie bowl is kind of a food trend that became viral somewhere by the beginning of 2014 on instagram. Suddenly it seemed like people were really just not content drinking a glass of smoothie. They wanted more. I really dont know who started it. But then it began and i must say it is such a brilliant idea. So what exactly is a smoothie bowl? Well, it is a really thick smoothie that is poured into a bowl and topped with your choice of fruits , nuts and seeds. The most common toppings are chia, pepita, sunflower seeds, nuts and sliced fruits. Many add berries for a splash of color. But the smoothie bowl has come a long way since then and nothing really surprises me if it is a smoothie bowl. People add everything that is considered a super food to their smoothie bowls and this falls between the ranges of spirulina powder to maca powder. The basic concept of a smoothie bowl is that you eat it with a spoon and not drink it with a straw. That is it. From there on, you can let your imagination go wild and experiment with a number of fruits and other ingredients. This dragon fruit smoothie bowl is my first smoothie bowl recipe here on the blog.
