...A(nother) smoothie FAIL...

...instead of a full-blown W.I.A.Y. post...I thought I'd just share a recent fail...

...I had a smoothie fail a couple of weeks ago...

...the only thing I can think of was that I put grapefruit into it...

...now I actually like grapefruit...and can eat one of the nice Ruby Red ones just like an orange...I peel and eat the sections...

...and since Maureen clued me into the deliciousness of Blueberries and Grapefruit...I often have that...or I just slice it down the middle and sprinkle it with sugar like Mom did when we were little...

...but I added a grapefruit to a regular smoothie mix and got a pretty horrible tasting smoothie...and I told the kiddos to remind me never to put grapefruit into a smoothie again...

...anywhoo...I gathered some smoothie ingredients...all nice nutrient rich things that I usually put into smoothies...except that one right there in the middle...

...that's right...nooch...

...and blended them all up...that's kale stems standing up in the middle and they're in the greenish bag on the stovetop above...I save them from the leaves...and usually put them into smoothies...but I sometimes cook them into other things as well...I just hate for them to go to waste and they're nice and mild...cooked or raw...

...and then I tasted the smoothie...and it just wasn't that good...

...so in addition to no grapefruit...I'm adding nutritional yeast to my list of things that don't belong in smoothies...

...what are your favorite smoothie additions...and what do you avoid?...

~Have a lovely day!
