Pitaya Passion
This smoothie is a tropical vacation in a glass. The sweet and tangy flavors of pitaya, mango, and passion fruit are perfectly balanced by the creaminess of banana and coconut water. It's the perfect way to start your day or cool down on a hot afternoon.
I first had this smoothie on a trip to Hawaii. I was staying at a bed and breakfast that served it for breakfast every morning. I loved it so much that I asked the chef for the recipe. He was happy to share it with me, and I've been making it ever since.
