Notes & Tips
- If you’re fighting with your blender. If the texture is too watery, add a bit more frozen fruit. If the texture is too thick, add a bit more coconut water. Make sure to do this in small amounts until you’ve reached pitaya perfection.
- Listen to your taste buds—When they’re calling for you. Swap ingredients based on your preference! No coconut water? Try coconut milk, almond milk, or soy milk. No granola? Try your favorite cereal. No shredded coconut? Try nuts, chia seeds, flax seeds, or hemp seeds. No pitaya powder? Try acai or goji powder.
