Smoothie Bowl with Homemade Granola

Making and Sharing Reflection

My favourite recipe I have made so far this year was the Smoothie Bowls with Homemade Granola. Creating this recipe was fun because we could get inspired by other people with their designs. I am happy with how my smoothie bowl design turned out because it looked colourful and had a very pintrest-like appearance. My group and I worked well to come up with different ideas of flavour combinations to make for our smoothies. We also combined ideas to make our own granola going back and forth between ideas. I gathered feedback from peers and received that our granola got a little more toasty than we would’ve liked. But that was a learning moment so next time we will cook it for less time. In conclusion I would make the smoothie bowl and granola again just try out some new flavour combinations since it is such a versatile recipe.

“Create food product, incorporating feedback from self, others, and prototype testing.”

“Critically reflect on their design thinking and processes, and identify new design goals.”

Core Competency Reflection

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include research and talking to others. This can be seen by going on Pinterest for ideas specifically for smoothie bowls and talking to group members. Talking to group members helped me because everyone has different ideas so it can help me edit my own.

I know the group is working well together when I hear/see people on task and talking to each other while smiling. I think it is helpful when a group can have “chemistry” because then they are happy to work together and they will communicate better.

I show that I value feedback from others in my group by applying the feedback they give me. If I feel like their feedback can’t be applied right away I will communicate how I appreciate and value their feedback.

GOAL: When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know I tend to not communicate as well. I want to improve on pushing myself to get to know new people and talk to them. So eventually and progressively we can communicate better while cooking.
