The Hazards of Smoothie Making

We interrupt this regularly scheduled "Music Monday" post with a Public Service Announcement about the Hazards of making super thick icy spinach smoothies.
Generally, I only put water,spinach, and a frozen banana in the blender and it pours like a dream.
Today though, I switched it up a bit and decided to add about 10 ice cubes to the mixture and have a sort of slushy smoothie.
 I forgot to take into account the difference in viscosity of the icier smoothie and was therefore taken by surprise by the resulting "kersploosh" into the bowl as I poured it.
Yes, kersploosh is a technical term. Don't act like you don't know what I mean.
I got this stuff all up in my hair, in my eyes, on my shirt, my shoulders, the countertop, the floor, the cabinets, etc.
 Bruce walked in from walking the dog and immediately asked, "Where's the camera??!"
Thanks, Hon.
Me and the culprit


 After this shot I actually had to take a shower. And throw this shirt in the washer with bleach.

 Yeah, spinach stains, hardcore y'all. I have many shirts with spinach stains...I wear what I eat, alot. Always have. My nickname when I was a kid was, "Mess."

 So, take it from me be aware of the kersploosh factor next time you add lots of ice to your next blender creation.

Happy Labor Day!

  1. Happy Labor Day! And yeah... I've definitely been there with the WAY overly iced smoothies. It can get messy fast. Doesn't usually sound good with my blender, either. But SO yummy. ;)
