On Oct. 5th we made and designed our own smoothie bowls. This was also very exciting for my partner and I because we got to choose what we wanted to put in our smoothie as well as what we wanted our toppings to be! A few days before making our smoothie bowls we planned out what we wanted to put in our smoothie, we decided on a mixture of berries, mango, bananas, spinach and a dash of oat milk. We also wrote out step by step how we would make our smoothie bowls. The first thing we did the day of making our smoothie bowls was the 5 safety and sanitation rules and then my partner collected all the ingredients that we needed while I got out the equipment. The next thing we did was make our granola which we also got to design, in our granola we used oats, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, oil and a bit of honey to make it sweet. After we mixed the granola together we put it in the oven for 15-25 minutes. Then we started to make the actual smoothie, inside the blender we put the bananas, spinach, frozen berries, mango and oat milk and blended it with extra caution because we hadn’t used the blenders yet in class. Once the smoothie was thick and radiant in colour I carefully cut up the bananas and strawberries for our toppings, while my partner collected chia seeds and some bee pollen for some extra colour on top. We removed the granola from the oven to let it cool and then washed and dried all the dishes and then poured the smoothie into 2 bowls and added all the toppings onto it. We chose these ingredients in hopes of the smoothie bowl tasting sweet and fruity and look very bright in colour, which it did. The granola was also sweet and crunchy and worked perfectly as another topping on our smoothie bowls. We both agreed that our smoothie bowl got a 10/10 because it tasted and looked exactly they we wanted it to. I would for sure make this exact smoothie bowl again. Overall this foods class day was very successful and we didn’t run into any challenges!
