Pitaya Nice Cream

This refreshing frozen dessert gets its bright, purple color from pitaya. It’s a fun, healthy treat your family will love.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (240 ml) coconut water
• 1 cup (145 g) frozen mango chunks
• 1 cup (145 g) frozen pitaya
• 1 cup (145 g) frozen banana

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Run the Frozen Dessert Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 30 – 40 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades.
3. In about 25 – 35 seconds, the sound of the motor will change and four mounds should form. Stop the machine. Do not over mix or melting will occur. Serve immediately.

Notes

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 in this bowl.
