1. Prepare the base:
– Cut one dragon fruit in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
– Blend the flesh with the yogurt (if using) and honey until creamy in texture.
2. Assemble the bowl:
– Pour the blended mixture into a bowl (you can use the dragon fruit shell itself for a natural presentation).
– Arrange the dragon fruit cubes or half-moons, pineapple, and berries on top in sections for a colorful effect.
3. Add the chia:
– Distribute the soaked chia seeds in lines or small decorative sections.
4. Decorate:
– Place clean palm leaves as a base or behind the bowl for a tropical presentation.
– Serve immediately to preserve freshness.
– To hydrate the chia: mix 2 tablespoons of seeds with 6 tablespoons of water and let sit for 15 minutes until a gel forms.
– Play with colors: if the dragon fruit is white, pair it with dark berries; if it’s red, highlight it with pineapple and blueberries for contrast.
– You can sprinkle shredded coconut or granola for added texture.
