LUMPY Bumpy Goo

[Namaste13]

Okay have no idea what happened to my green smoothie this morning. The only think I can think of was that I added Coconut Syrup to sweeten the shakes and it changed everything! It contained: frozen blueberries, oranges, apples and 1 pear, spinach and romaine lettuce. I added coconut syrup and raw coconut as well and it went all thick and lumpy! it was gross..didn't taste gross but I dumped it anyways as it looked horrible and took my appetite away. Been doing green smooties in my Vita mix for over 1 year and this is the first time I had to dump one away...sad...but too horrible to try and drink..what do you think? The coconut syrup I never used before and the shakes was bland and bitter so I used it to sweeten..won't do that again.

Did you add the coconut meat after everything else was in there? If so - some of that young Thai coconut meat can be really thick/hard. I would try putting the coco meat in with some liquid (like the water from the coconut - this makes a WONDERFUL smoothie base - YUM!!) and blend that well first - then start adding other ingredients. Sounds like there wasn't enough liquid to blend the coconut. I can't think why the coconut syrup would have done any of that... *Ü*

The frozen fruit froze the syrup.
