“This recipe is super flexible and any toppings can be added, including various fresh fruits, nuts, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and cacao nibs. Since Kim loves anything cinnamon sugar, I added cinnamon pears to this bowl.

The pears are really versatile and can be used as toppings for other vegan breakfasts and snacks, like overnight oats, chia pudding, french toast, and banana pancakes. They can keep in the fridge for several days,” Chef Marina shares.

Pro tip: chill your bowl in the freezer until you’re ready to serve so the base melts slower.

Kim’s Dragonfruit Smoothie Bowl

Recipe Type:Breakfast/Snack/Dessert

Dietary Info:Vegan/GF/Dairy-Free/Soy-Free

Serving Size:1 (can easily be doubled!)

Prep Time:5 minutes

Cook Time:5-7 minutes

Total Time:approx. 15 minutes (not including time for chilling of cinnamon syrup pears, which can easily be made ahead of time)

Ingredients:

For smoothie bowl base:
1/3 cup organic plant milk (almond, cashew)
3.5-ounce pack of frozen organic 100% dragonfruit
1 cup frozen organic banana slices
1 cup frozen organic strawberry slices (or sub other frozen berries/fruit)
1 tablespoon agave nectar (or to taste)

For cinnamon syrup pears:
1 medium to large pear, peeled, core removed, and medium diced or sliced (Kim likes Bartlett pears)
1/2 cup water
Dash salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon agave or coconut sugar

Other toppings (as pictured in Kim’s photo, but can add/substitute anything desired)
-Sliced bananas
-Sliced grapes
-Halved blueberries
-Homemade GF granola
-Quartered and pitted cherries
-Toasted coconut chips

Instructions:

For the cinnamon syrup pears:
1. Add pears to a small sauce pot along with the water, a dash of salt, cinnamon, and agave, and turn heat to high.
2. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for approximately 5-7 minutes. Once the pears are just translucent and the remaining liquid is reduced and syrupy, remove from heat and chill.

For the smoothie bowl:
1. Add the plant milk to a blender, then add all the frozen fruit.
2. Blend together. It may seem too thick, but you want a thick consistency so you can eat this with a spoon. If it’s too thick to blend, add a little bit of plant milk until it just blends smoothly.
3. Spoon into a serving bowl, add the chilled cinnamon pears with some of the syrup, top with the rest of your toppings, and enjoy immediately.
