Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen dragon fruit chunks
- 1 large frozen banana
- ¾ cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond butter
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup granola (vegan)
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- 1
Add 2 cups of frozen dragon fruit chunks, 1 large frozen banana (peel and break into chunks before freezing if using fresh), 0.75 cup of unsweetened coconut milk beverage, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened almond butter, and 0.5 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds, pausing once to scrape down the sides with a spatula, until completely smooth and creamy with no icy chunks remaining. The mixture should be thick enough to hold a spoon upright but pourable.

Divide the smoothie base evenly between two bowls, pouring it in and using the back of a spoon to create a smooth, level surface. Work quickly — the smoothie will begin to soften as soon as it's exposed to room temperature.
- 3
Scatter 0.5 cup of vegan granola over the two bowls in an even layer, starting from the edges and working toward the center. Pile 0.5 cup of fresh blueberries in a small cluster on top of the granola, then sprinkle 0.25 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes across both bowls. Tear 6 fresh mint leaves into pieces and scatter over the top, then finish with 1 tablespoon of chia seeds divided between the two bowls.

Serve immediately with a spoon — the smoothie base will stay perfectly thick and cold for about 5 minutes, but the granola will begin to soften as it absorbs moisture, so eat right away for maximum crunch and contrast.
