I've always told myself that there was no way in the world you could stuff up a smoothie bowl. Well I was wrong. I've always made smoothie bowls for around 2-4 people never more and I usually just guesstimate my measurements. So basically just chuck in whatever tickles my fancy and hit blitz.
Well if you're planning on making more than 2 servings of this particular smoothie bowl MEASURE don't guess or else you could end up with a banana smoothie bowl with a hint of chocolate and orange - hahaha.
Anyway... Back on topic. Kind of. I was never a fan of orange flavoured chocolate because just the name of it sounded gross, but then when we were in Samoa I had this chocolate chip flavoured jaffa ice-cream and
Oh. My. Gosh. Total fangirl!!
Fast forward a couple of years and I was given the challenge to make some desserts using Doterra Oils and one of the flavours I was given was orange. I originally thought I'd make an orange flavoured raw non-cheese cheesecake but because it was a demonstration I realised that's not super simple to create in front of people and I didn't want to embarrass myself and stuff it up, so I decided smoothie bowls for sure because... you can't stuff those up right? Again wrong.
I totally felt the whole MKR pressure thing when making bowls for 8. My face was on fire, my words slurred out of my mouth, zero eye contact was made and I was sweating bullets.
Just to be clear, I wasn't on MKR thank goodness and it's totally not a dream of mine, although the pop-up kitchens are super cool, unless your pregnant self ends up being shown nationally with a sloppy mouthful of food - yeah, that happened to me and it wasn't as cool as I thought it would be...
Moral of the story is... Well I don't know what the moral of the story is. It was kind of a pointless story, so here's what you'll need to make these delicious bowls...
Ingredients
2 cups of frozen banana
1 cup of almond milk
1 avocado
1 medjool date
3 tablespoons cacao
3 drops of Doterra Wild Orange

For something extra delicious top it off with my paleo granola.
