The Pomelo Fruit is quite a special tropical citrus fruit! Besides being naturally the biggest of its kind, the pomelo, aka pummelo or pomello, is a tasty fruit on its own.
I turn our homegrown pomelo fruits into a simple, flavorful, and aesthetically pleasing fresh smoothie bowl.

TL;DR
This smoothie bowl not only contains pomelo but also other tropical fruits. Passion fruit and sapote add tangy and sweet fruity elements. They improve taste and texture as well.
This smoothie bowl recipe is further enhanced with coconut milk and a natural sweetener of your choice. I like to use honey, but stevia is also a great choice.
Tip: If your pomelo is on the pinker side, it will pop out more in the smoothie bowl. You can create swirls, just as I did.

What an unusual (to me) fruit! I love learning about and trying new foods - things that are traditional in other cultures but foreign to me. I'm going to keep an eye out for one of these at the grocery!
very useful post, I need to check it out in Indian store. Pomelo fruit sounds interesting.
Oh, wow! This was a really interesting read. I've never heard of this kind of citrus fruit. Thanks for sharing!
I have never heard of this fruit and I need to keep my eyes open during my next trip to India. Love the beautiful Salomon color of the fruit abdominal the smoothie. Thanks for the detailed description on how to tackle the fruit.
I have not eaten a pomelo in years. I remember eating it in Europe some time back. I love the tart flavor and this with the creamy coconut sounds so heavenly. Love the pretty color too. Must look for it the next time
I have never heard of a Pomelo fruit before. Its flesh is similar to a grape fruit. It sounds like I have a new fruit to get my hands on and try!
I am surprised that I've never heard of this Pomelo fruit before. I watch a lot of Food Network, and sort of get my introduction to new ingredients from Chopped. This is one that is completely new to me. It sounds like a tasty citrus fruit!
Oh well I have an Exotic fruit section -> in my recipe category. You will find a lot of lesser known ingredients there and ideas on how to use them. 🙂
I've never heard of the Pomelo before. That smoothie bowl has awesome color and looks like it has great texture!
I have never tasted a Pomelo fruit..You have such a good neighbour for sharing the fruits, and your sbs pics are so useful for sure!
I love grapefruit and pomelos so I am sure I would love this smoothie bowl you are suggesting which by the way looks amazing =)
I have never seen or heard of pomelo fruit. I don't think it is available here in Canada....unless maybe at an international market. Sounds like it would be an interesting and tasty drink for sure.
I do remember buying one, once, and we just dug into it. It was delicious, but not very practical, so you recipe makes me want to buy another one!
The pomelo smoothie bowl has a fantastic color. I've seen whole pomelo in the supermarket but thus far have only bought already peeled ones. Thanks for the instructions on how to peel it 🙂
Honestly this is the first time I am here about ponmello. Maybe it is not common where I am from. Thanks for the recipe looking forward to buying ponmello.
What a fun post! I have never had a pomelo before, but now I want to find one and try it!
I've never tried this before. It sounds delicious, as does the smoothie!
I have seen pomelos at the store, but I never knew what else to do with them. I love your smoothie idea.
Thank you for all the great info on the pomelo fruit. I remember buying one once a while back and I was quite surprised at how it looked inside. Also, I had no idea what to do with it. I'll have to try your smoothie idea.
This is a really beautiful color! I have not tried a Pomello yet, but I appreciate your instructions for getting the fruit out!
This looks so refreshing! I've never actually tried pomelo fruit so need to put this on my list to try!
Wow, I can't believe that I have never tried pomelo. This smoothie looks delicious!

I love Pomello but you don't see it often over here in theUK. Will have to find some to try this recipe, it looks delicious
I have seen pomelo fruit but never tried it, love your explanation on the fruit, how to prepare it and eat it. I am going to look out for it in the Indian shop here and try your smoothie recipe.
I am not fancy for smoothie, but I do love pomelo!
I have seen it around before but it isn't readily available where I am. The smoothie looks so colourful and delicious
I don't think I've ever had a pomelo but would love to try one. I think your smoothie bowl looks so pretty and colourful too.
Pomelo is my favourite citrus fruit! I grew up in Jordan and we had lots of pomelos there but they're more yellow rather than orange.
