Notes
This recipe provides 77% of your daily fiber intake, and a substantial amount of iron, potassium, and calcium. However, because it's packed full of fruit, the calories are high.
You can lower the calories significantly by reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe (e.g. half a banana per bowl, and half a dragon fruit per bowl).
They are generous servings too, so you may find that you can extend the recipe to three or four servings! It's incredibly versatile and will work with most fruits of your preference!
