I made a shake for breakfast this morning, like I do every morning, but this is the first time that most of it ended up down the garbage disposal.

You see, I bought a bunch of avocados a couple days ago. When Nate (who doesn’t like avocados) saw them, he said he wanted to make an avocado milkshake because he’d had one years ago and really liked it.

I know you see where this is going, but let me tell my tale.

So this morning, when checking out the freezer, fridge, and fruit bowl to decide what concoction to make today, I saw the avocados and thought that if they make a good milkshake, why not a smoothie?

I’ll tell you why. Because, obvious to me now, ANYTHING tastes good when blended with vanilla ice cream, sugar, and whole milk. That’s why. Yogurt, 1%, and half a banana… not so much.

Ewwww.

It was vile.

So, Nate and I each choked down a glass (because it was made from good food, shame to waste it), but couldn’t bring ourselves to drink any more.

Down the sink it went and I’m left to wonder why in the WORLD I thought it sounded like a good idea.
