Known as pitaya, dragon fruit, and strawberry pear, people can’t seem to get enough of this vibrant, tropical fruit! Since most tropical fruits can be a bit pricey when they’re fresh, we like using frozen pitaya – available in your supermarket’s freezer aisle 365 days a year. Not only does the red or pink variety offer bold, beautiful color to your favorite smoothies and smoothie bowls, it also delivers immune-supporting antioxidants and about 4 grams of fiber in a one-cup serving.

It may be a Monday or a Wednesday, but you can kick-it off feeling like a vacation with this bright smoothie that tastes like the tropics.

Why should kids have all the fun on Halloween? Take a break from the candy bars and blend up a treat the whole family can enjoy: candy corn smoothies!

One of the easiest, guilt-free frozen treats you can make with just a few ingredients and your NutriBullet is Banana Based Soft Serve! Frozen bananas are now readily available at most grocery retailers, but you can also freeze them yourself at home with ripe bananas for a fraction of the cost. Remove the skin and membranes of the banana and place it in a freezer bag. Freeze overnight and keep them at the ready for when you want a quick, sweet, frozen treat. For this recipe, we stacked three distinct flavors that go great together but are also fantastic on their own!

The smell of freshly picked basil takes us to an Italian kitchen, with pizza just out of the oven, fresh Caprese salad, you know, all the savory stuff. But how about an island getaway? Believe it or not, basil goes well with fruits, too, especially sweet and juicy pineapple! Pineapple and basil may sound strange at first, but it totally works! This recipe combines the tropical taste of pineapple with fragrant basil leaves for a fresh and antioxidant-rich treat!

Chia seed is packed with omega-3 fatty acids that can help raise good cholesterol, a benefit that helps protect against heart disease. They’re known for their gel-like expansion that, when ingested, can help you feel satiated and full for longer periods of time. The soluble fiber in plums produces a similar effect, an excellent characteristic that can help prevent overeating and weight gain.
