Smoothie King’s Hive Five Bowl is a tropical explosion bright pink pitaya, juicy mango, sweet banana, crunchy coconut, and that final honey drizzle. If you’re craving those sunny island vibes without the extra sugar or mystery ingredients, this copycat recipe is your go-to.
We’re building a naturally sweet, vibrant smoothie bowl using whole fruits and pantry staples, with all the color and crunch of the original.
Ingredients Needed:
For the Pitaya Base:
- 1 frozen pitaya (dragon fruit) smoothie pack – the star of the show, bringing that bright color and tropical tang
- 1/2 frozen banana – for creaminess and a hint of sweetness
- 1/2 cup frozen mango – boosts that tropical flavor
- 1/4 cup papaya juice or orange juice – helps it blend smooth, adds a touch of citrus
- 1 tbsp honey or agave – totally optional, for extra sweetness
Toppings:
- 1/2 cup sliced strawberries – fresh and juicy
- 1/4 cup banana slices – naturally sweet and creamy
- 1/4 cup mango chunks – doubles down on that sunny flavor
- 1 tbsp dried goji berries – chewy, tangy, and full of antioxidants
- 1 tbsp shredded coconut – for texture and a little crunch
- 1 tsp honey – that final touch that ties it all together
How To Make Smoothie King Hive Five Bowl (Copycat Recipe):
1. Blend the Pitaya Base: Toss your frozen pitaya, banana, mango, and juice into a blender. Add your sweetener if you’re using it. Blend until thick and smooth—aim for a soft-serve consistency. If your blender’s struggling, add a splash more juice to get things moving.
2. Assemble the Bowl: Scoop the thick pitaya blend into a bowl. Then have fun with the toppings: layer on the strawberries, banana slices, mango chunks, and goji berries. Sprinkle with shredded coconut, then drizzle that honey right over the top. It should look like summer in a bowl.

Why This Copycat Tastes Like the Original:
Pitaya gives you that signature magenta base, while banana and mango round out the flavor and texture. It’s creamy, fruity, and just the right amount of tart. The toppings mirror the real thing—juicy, chewy, and crunchy in all the right ways. And since you’re skipping added turbinado sugar, this version is lighter and a bit more wholesome.
Recipe Tips & Variations:
Need more protein? Boost the blend by adding a scoop of plant-based protein powder or even a few spoonfuls of Greek yogurt if you’re not dairy-free.
Want less sugar? Feel free to skip the sweetener altogether and stick with unsweetened juice for a lighter option.
Craving extra crunch? Sprinkle on some chia seeds or crushed nuts for a texture boost that also brings bonus nutrients.
How To Store This Hive Five Bowl:
In the Fridge: It’s best fresh, but if you’ve got leftovers, store the base without toppings in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
In the Freezer: Blend the base ahead and freeze in individual portions. Let it thaw slightly before topping and serving.
