My Gross Carb Drink

[Patches24]

Yesterday, I mixed together in a blender all the non-protein things I wanted to emphasize in my diet, so I'd have a mostly-carb drink that could be used throughout the day. The drink became disgusting. It tasted and smelled like it had fermented, or carbonated or gone rancid FAST or something like that. The strange fermented taste was way beyond any bitterness that some of the ingredients have when you just mix them together or eat them plain. There was definitely some sort of chemical reaction going on here.

I know nothing about biochemistry.

Can any of you take an educated guess as to what made my drink possibly ferment, and get undrinkably nasty. How can I amend my recipe so that I won't have to waste ingredients anymore. I'm frugal and can't afford to be throwing away botched drinks.

Here is what I put in it:

- 3 spoonfuls unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 spoonfuls ground cinnamon
- 2 cups unflavored oats
- 2 spoonfuls ground flax seeds
- 20 chips bittersweet baking chocolate
- water, don't know how much, but enough to cover the other stuff

This was done in an old blender, which becomes very warm when it is blending. Could that be worsening this issue? After blending, I let it sit for maybe an hour and it was already tasting a bit gross and fermented, but not enough to want to throw it away. The drink of it I took two hours after that was very, very bad. A few hours after that it was the kind of thing that makes people puke. I threw it out after that. It is now stinking up the garbage can.

Any ideas, even if speculative, as to how I could avoid this situation are appreciated.

i would omit the unsweetened cocoa power(its bitter with out sugar)
the bittersweet chocolate chips isn't a good choice either.
try a banana or berries, or a scoop of protein powder.
remember the flax seed also taste like crap, so dont put too much.
also 2tsp of cinnamon is enough.

i make something similar to this every morning, but i add instant coffee and blue berries. at night time i use milk and minus the oats.
goodluck
