It got thick because you made an emulsion. You suspended tiny droplets of oil in the other medium, the juice. It's how you make mayonnaise. This is very clever of you:-)

Either "so thick my spoon could barely move" is hyperbole or something went wrong for me....

I did it in the FP, could that be it?

It is still pretty good but more like soup. I would also recommend using coconut oil if you aren't fond of the taste of flax.

I am really excited to explore more things like this...once I can get them to work. Thanks for happening upon this! (Any idea about where I went wrong?)
