Ombre Pitaya Smoothie – Vegan

Tweet

Several years ago, ombré was all the hype. It was consuming everything, from hair, to cakes. It was an especially predominant element in the design industry. I vividly remember contemplating over whether to paint one of my bedroom walls ombré peach.

Today, smoothies are all the hype. What used to be the simple “frozen berries and yogurt” smoothie has now evolved into an abundance of Instagram feeds saturated with açai smoothies placed in coconut bowls with gourmet toppings and 12 dollar price tags. The other day I saw a smoothie bowl on Instagram with actual gold sheets laced on top. We are living in the age of extravagant smoothie bowls, and quite honestly, I’m not mad about it!

This smoothie bowl happens to be a collision of the two trends. Oh, and it’s PINK! Does it get any more adorable than that?

So the next time you have a Saturday with some extra time, do yourself a favor and make this cute breakfast. It really doesn’t take much more time than any old smoothie bowl!

I hope you love this recipe as much as I do! If you try it out and decide to share your creation on Instagram, please tag me @healthy.delish so I can see your wonderful creations. Happy blending!
