Today's smoothie contains: spinach, kale, apple, lime, coconut water, matcha, cucumber. I can indeed confirm, with very little tolerance for error, that this combination is vile.
I suppose it stands less chance of fermenting or exploding. It's green sludge, but it's stable green sludge.
I've definitely got the balance wrong; it tastes as though I've scooped it out of a waste-disposal unit.
The nutritionist said I should up the number of vegetables and lower the number of fruits, to reduce all those natural sugars. But it turns out it was the natural sugars that made it tasty, of course. And the tang of the lime just doesn't go with the leafy green of the spinach, without something soft and pulpy to smooth it out. And so I have ended up imbibing neither.
In other news, there's something wrong with my car. Shortly after I discovered that today's smoothie tasted like rotting socks, my car somehow swerved itself into the McDonald's Drive-Thru, and made me order an Egg McMuffin. I scratched my head for a while, wondering what had happened. I think it might be to do with the steering.
So, too fruity and it blows up in the office; too veggie and it's undrinkable stodge. Too dry and it's impossible to blend; too watery and it's insipid, like mouldy rainwater. It's hard to get it right sometimes. Maybe I should take Sammy's advice and get frozen smoothie packs instead of all that chopping and blending.
And I really should get my car fixed.
