Appreciation post: My attempt to make a 3 ingredient smoothie turned into a kitchen science experiment

I blended frozen spinach, a banana, and orange juice for a quick breakfast, but the color turned into a shade of brownish-green that looked exactly like pond water, which taught me that color theory is a real thing even with food, so has anyone else had a simple mix go horribly wrong visually?

Does it still taste fine though? Who cares what it looks like lol.

You said "who cares what it looks like" but that's kind of the whole point for some people... if the food looks messed up, it makes you wonder what else is wrong with it. Taste matters, sure, but we eat with our eyes first. If it looks bad, it can ruin the whole experience before you even take a bite. Maybe it's not that serious to you, but for some folks presentation is part of the meal.

Presentation can totally set the mood, you're right. Reminds me of a burger joint I went to where the food was a sloppy mess on the plate. Tasted amazing, but my buddy wouldn't even touch his because it looked like someone dropped it. He spent the whole meal just staring at it, bummed out. Sometimes the look really does get in your head and wreck the vibe, even if the flavor is perfect.
