Foodnista Soul Orange Dream Smoothie with Korean Purple Rice Recipe
This Drink is a Hit in Hawai’i!
I tried CowCow’s famous yogurt drinks with purple rice earlier this year. I ordered the strawberry and peach flavors, and they were divine! I was blown away! I enjoyed the strawberry one the most. Therefore, I was curious to make my own. It turned out pretty good.
Let’s get to this easy recipe.

Cooking with Wild Orange Essential Oil (EO)
The dōTERRA® wild orange EO has a multitude of internal, topical, and aromatic usages. They can be used in baking and additional smoothie recipes when consumed internally. It adds that zingy zestiness to your day! It can also help boost your immune system and uplift your mood with its sweet and vibrant scent. Wild orange is one of my go-to EOs when I need a pick-me-up. I love how it tastes in my water.
