Chef's Note

  • The vibrant color and bold taste is sure to provide a boost of energy. For more of a protein boost, add shaved coconut, cashews, chia, flax, or hemp seed as toppings. Alternatively you can blend with soy milk or water and tofu to add protein to this bowl.
  • Serve this as a wonderful treat any time of the day. Made from whole foods with no added sugars, it is one delicious snack.Here's another kid-friendly recipe with a food science lesson to go with it.  The vibrant color of plants goes beyond being pretty; the colors actually come from specific antioxidants.  In red-fleshed dragon fruit, that antioxidant is called betalain (which helps protect our cells) and is what gives the fruit its exotic reddish-pink hue.
