Last week, I felt under the weather so I decided to take the week off from the gym. I had mixed up a protein shake with some berries, but since I hadn't worked out, I decided to save the shake and drink it the next time I worked out, so as to not waste the protein powder and fruit.
I went to the gym yesterday. After I was done exercising, I shook up the shake and opened the bottle to a loud "pop" sound. The bottle was pressurized, which meant that the fruit had fermented. I considered not drinking it, but decided that it would be a waste of money if I just dumped it down the drain, so down the hatch it went.
You may already know where this is going. I drank it and about an hour later, I endured the first of many trips to the bathroom that night. I'll spare you the details, but rest assured that it was not pretty.
I tried to save money by not wasting one scoop of protein powder (which costs less than a dollar) and I ended up wasting it in a different way. Lesson learned: when in doubt, throw it out!
