Ingredients
Scale
- 2 frozen acai packets (about 200g total, unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
- 1 cup frozen dragon fruit chunks (150g)
- 1 ripe medium banana
- 1/2 cup (120ml) coconut milk (full-fat or light)
- 1 tbsp honey or agave syrup (optional)
- 2 tbsp toasted coconut flakes
- 1 tsp chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a small dry skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of coconut flakes and toast, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Place 2 frozen acai packets, 1 cup frozen dragon fruit chunks, 1 ripe banana, and 1/2 cup coconut milk into your blender. Optionally add 1 teaspoon chia seeds.
- Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. The mixture should be thick but spoonable. If too thick, add a splash more coconut milk; if too thin, add a few ice cubes or more frozen fruit.
- Taste and add 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup if desired, then blend for another 10 seconds.
- Spoon the smoothie mixture into a serving bowl.
- Sprinkle the toasted coconut flakes evenly over the bowl. Optionally add fresh fruit slices like kiwi or berries.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between creamy base and crunchy topping.
Notes
If frozen acai packets are solid blocks, let them thaw for 5 minutes before blending to avoid overworking your blender. Toast coconut flakes lightly for best flavor and crunch. Blend in pulses to avoid overheating and watery texture. Variations include adding protein powder, swapping fruits, or adding nut butters.
