I'm glad I didn't specify making a *good* smoothie, or this goal would have been failed.

I gave it two attempts. The first was a monument to cooking failure. The blueberries reacted with the milk to congeal the entire thing into a solid pile of mush that wouldn't exit the cup even when you turned it upside-down. This happened after leaving it alone for as little as thirty seconds. You can imagine I refused to drink (or, rather, eat) it after that.

The second smoothie went a little better in that it just thickened to the point of being unappetising rather than turning into a solid. I also made sure to drink it immediately after being poured, but it wasn't nice.

Both methods I tried were recipes from the internet, so I have to assume these people were either lying about making tasty smoothies, or possessed some magical cooking powers that I wasn't bestowed with. I've had delicious blueberry smoothies before, so I know it's possible to make them... but the secret continues to elude me.I'm glad I didn't specify making a *good* smoothie, or this goal would have been failed.
