PINK Pitaya & Berry Oatmeal

I've been making quite a lot things with Pitaya (aka. Dragon Fruit) these days!

I just LOVE the pink color that it gives haha! I think food tastes 1000X better when it's nice & colourful! Kinda brightens up my day after a tiring/long school day...

Hope everyone is having a great day! <3

Pitaya Power Smoothie Bowl

I really love it when my food gets insanely beautiful nice and colourful! You see, too me visual is just as important as taste, y'know! Hahahah, I guess I'm just an artist at heart. (in and out of the kitchen ;) !)

Nope, it's not acai or blueberries that gave this such a wonderful, vivid colour, but it's Pitaya! (Also known as red dragon fruit) It's one of the cheapest, most common fruit where I live but I just tried it out recently, thanks to my fruit-loving friend at Instagram! (and I'm so thankful I tried it omg, it's such a wonderful fruit seriously!!) 

And no, I didn't edit the colour of the smoothie or add any artificial colouring at all! That gorgeous purple-pink colour purely comes from 'red-purplish' pitaya + 'white' bananas!! Mother nature provides us with so many natural colourings, so do keep that in mind if you reach out to those artificial colours!!

I topped mine with some slices kiwis, cubed pineapples (also obsessed with pineapples at the moment, so good mmm…), and my-must-add-topping which is granola (crunch-crunch-crunch)!

Raw Vegan Pink Pitaya Mousse

I always LOVE it when my food has pretty colours (from all natural ingredients, of course)! It's really amazing to see how vivid and beautiful the pink you can get from simply blending in some dragon fruit into this mousse! For your information, there are two types of dragon fruit, one is the red-fleshed, the other is white-fleshed (I prefer the red one for it's gorgeous colour, but they taste the same).

On to the mousse itself, it might look like a good ol' smoothie bowl, but nope! The texture is really like a mousse. Smooth, silky, rich, and delicious! But it's raw vegan. How ? The secret ingredient for this is -> Coconut! Don't fear the fat on coconuts! Do remember that our body needs fat to function properly!  And new studies have shown that the fat in coconuts are really good for your body (everything in moderation though)! So let's have some coconuts! :D
