Smoothy Gone Wrong

Sometimes, I can put together a smoothie and it's tasty, satisfies and fills me up. Sometimes.....today, was not that day.
As I age, I try to get in more protein, but get tired of the same thing or the cost becomes prohibited.
For lunch, in my wisdom (not), I tossed into a vanilla Muscle Milk; three huge frozen green grapes, pack of apple-cinnamon fiber wafers, and a banana. Yeah, the best word for this is, ick.
I'm drinking it anyway since calculated, this is pretty costly and on my budget, I can't be wasting.
Have you fixed something you thought would be delicious, only to find it gross?

I don't like smoothies but Pretty keeps bananas and strawberries in the freezer and adds fiber powder to it. (To me, that sounds nasty but she drinks it every once in a while.)3 people like this

That would taste really good I think my error was those fiber wafers added. I just wanted a complete nutritious meal. I couldn't drink it past a couple sips. I tried. My son must have felt sorry for me since he came back from town with a chicken sandwich for me.

I'm glad he brought you something to eat, at least.@noni1959 (12417)

@DaddyEvil Definitely! I learned a hard lesson over that one. Today, I kept it safe with coffee and a Barebell protein bar. I'm hungry now so real food is in order. No more experimenting.

I can't think of anything I've ever made that was gross. However, I did make some steak when my husband and I were dating. It was a French recipe and called for a ton of spices. It was inedible; so we stood by the sink and rinsed the spices off as we ate. I guess we aren't gourmands.

@LindaOHio My son seasons steaks and other meats where it's so delicious. I try and it's good but never seems to be the same.

@noni1959 That was the end of my gourmet cooking.

I think some things are good in a smoothie and some are not. I have in the past fixed some dishes that didn't come out the way I had planned at all. Live and learn, I guess. Better luck next time with your smoothies.
