Don’t call my evening treat a milkshake. Image: Flickr/cyclonebill
In order to call my evening treat a smoothie (which is healthy) rather than a milkshake (which is not), healthy things like banana and protein powder and yoghurt must outweigh delicious things like ice cream and chocolate sauce. How can I combine the ingredients below to maximize deliciousness points of a 16oz glass while remaining able to term the concoction a smoothie, by volume?
Ingredients:
1. Chocolate sauce: 10 points of deliciousness for first ounce, and half again for each subsequent ounce.
2. Wheat grass: 10 points of health per ounce. Must be counterbalanced by at least double the volume of ice cream.
3. Banana: 5 points of health per ounce.
4. Peanut butter: 4 points health, 2 points deliciousness per ounce.
5. Raw egg: despite chance for egregious GI disease, 6 points of health per ounce, max 2 ounces.
6. Protein powder: 7 points of health per ounce, max of two.
7. Ice cream: 6 points of deliciousness per ounce.
8. Sugary vanilla yoghurt: 2 points health, 3 points deliciousness per ounce.
9. Honey: 8 points of deliciousness per ounce. After two ounces, decreases by half again for each subsequent ounce.
10. Milk: 3 points health, 1 point deliciousness per ounce.
