In our home, chocolate is a love language and so is nourishing food. Like many families striving to eat clean and stay energized, we often find ourselves reaching for sweet treats that feel indulgent but also nourish our bodies. That’s why I like to keep healthier dessert options on hand that are not only delicious but also simple enough for little hands to help make. One of our absolute staples? Peanut butter-filled, chocolate-covered Medjool dates—a five-ingredient wonder we like to call our homemade "Date Snickers."

Pitaya bowls are one of those rare recipes that deliver big on both nutrition and joy. They’re loaded with health-promoting benefits—fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals—while also being fun to make, naturally beautiful, and endlessly customizable.

If you’re looking for a refreshing way to nourish your body (and your family’s), these bowls are a go-to. From hot summer mornings to post-park afternoons, they’re a crowd-pleasing staple you’ll reach for again and again.
