Smoothie Fail: Peach-Macadamia
I wanted to add some peanut butter to today's smoothie, but the fruit that needed eating was a peach, so I decided macadamia would be a better match (I would have gone with pecans or walnuts had I had those, or maybe almonds...). The macadamias I have are salted, but they supposedly only have 3% of the daily limit for sodium in a quarter cup, so I decided to rinse all the salt off. Unfortunately, I think they were soaked in brine, because some of the nutty parts of the smoothie are kind of salty. Thankfully the ice helps mask a lot of that (before I added it, it was undrinkable), but even the less salty part has an... unusual flavor. Not bad, but not really good, either.
Adding peach-macadamia to the never-try-again list (which before had one lonely member: sweet potatoes). I can tell that peach would make an excellent smoothie by itself. And the macadamias would work in other combinations, I think (obviously unsalted, though)... just not together with peach.
