Today’s recipe and giveaway is brought to you by my new favorite superfood brand: Pitaya Plus!
Ummm, how gorg is this color?
Seriously, to die for.
I’ve been obsessing over pitaya smoothies and smoothie bowls at my favorite local spot Nekter, and when Pitaya Plus caught wind of my new healthy addiction, they offered to send me some of their smoothie packs to try! They were also kind enough to giveaway some Pitaya Plus Smoothie Packs to one lucky RFFMBT reader!
can’t. contain. my. excitement. right. now.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok. excitement is now contained.
So… what is Pitaya?
Pitaya, otherwise known as dragon fruit, is a fruit that comes from the cactus species. It’s native throughout Asia as well as Mexico, Central America, and South America. It’s glossy magenta exterior cuts open to reveal a gorgeous vivid pink interior (Central America), studded with black seeds. Depending on where the fruit is from the flesh can also be white inside (Asia).
What does it taste like?
Its texture is very similar to a kiwi, but its flavor is more mild, almost a cross between a kiwi and pear.
Here’s why I love Pitaya Plus Smoothie Packs:
Raw // Did you know that Pitaya Smoothie packs are never cooked or heated? Most other smoothie packs are cooked and pasteurized. Our pitayas are picked at the peak of ripeness, and flash frozen to ensure you get the most nutrients. Maybe that is why it looks so bright and alive when blended?
No added sugar // Helping maintain healthy levels of insulin in the blood, keeping energy levels stable, a low-carb, low-sugar diet has proven to be a good weapon in the war against obesity. A low-carb diet is essential to maintaining safe blood sugar levels for diabetics, and can help reverse the onset of adult diabetes.
Antioxidants // Helps neutralize the formation of cancer causing free radicals.
Fiber // Helps to lower cholesterol, Lower blood-glucose levels and improve you digestive health by removing harmful toxins.
Vitamin C // Experts say Vitamin C is one of the safest and most effective antioxidants. Benefits of vitamin C are known to include strengthening and protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease, and even skin wrinkling.
Calcium & Magnesium // Calcium is essential for the body to protect and heal. Magnesium increases the absorption of calcium in the body. Both are required for general health. They work in harmony to help the body in numerous ways to keep illness and disease at bay.
Omega-3s // Research shows that omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and may help lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.

I would definitely say that Pitaya puts the “Super” in Superfruit!
These smoothie packs are an easy way to add pitaya to your daily noms. Since pitaya can be tricky to find (often at Asian and exotic food markets), it’s great to have it right at my fingertips and year round in my freezer!

March 6, 2014 at 1:30 am (11 years ago)Wow! Those pictures are simply stunning! What a gorgeous, vibrant color! 🙂
I am so excited about this giveaway. I’ve heard of dragon fruit before, but I have never tasted. I haven’t even seen it for sale anywhere. I’d love to try the Pitaya Plus Smoothie Snacks. I’ve been trying to get into the habit of drinking more green shakes, and this would be a huge help I;m sure – although technically this isn’t really a green shake… 😉 Thanks fork the giveaway, Catherine! May God bless you now and forevermore!

Corinne
March 6, 2014 at 11:25 pm (11 years ago)Not that I wouldn’t want to use it–but is there an alternative to coconut water and butter? Those are two ingredients that have never set foot in my house before. If not, I guess I know what I need to buy!

March 7, 2014 at 8:59 am (11 years ago)I’m trying to work on eating a better breakfast despite my plethora of food allergies. I have been skimping on breakfast as of late, but when your alarm is set for 430 am morning fuel is crucial! A free sample would likely be enough to convince me and get me hooked… Life is about improving! 🙂

Crystal Sesi
March 9, 2014 at 9:20 am (11 years ago)I have never tried Pitaya before but for the past month I have been on a healthy lifestyle kick. It is something I have been very committed to with my group of girlfriends and even convinced my boyfriend to get involved. I love the fact that this is a naturally sweet Superfruit which means no added sugars! My friends and I are embracing the healthy lifestyle by having almond butter making nights, oatmeal bar baking nights, and hopefully next will be gorgeous pink Pitaya smoothie night!
