Am I wrong for angry texting my brother over a smoothie?

Hi to get the story start Im a 27 year old female with Hypovolemic and Hyperadrenergic pots, who stays with mom and dad. I'm a hard worker who gives money to the brother (26 year old male) and his girlfriend (24 year old female) to help them and their two children since both parents are out of work, I never really spend or buy things for myself but I'm ok with that. Lately my pots have been flaring left and right which lead me to gain weight I wasn't happy with. That being said I joined a gym and start doing protein and supplements to help with the weight without flaring my symptoms (consulted my doctors first one whats ok with medications). My brother and his girlfriend need a ride to the store and I stopped at wawa to get a smoothie with extra banana for a little more protein since I skipped breakfast. I asked the girlfriend if she wanted to try it since we were friends and I told her it had extra protein. Which she did after hearing it. The baby ( 4 year old female) wanted a sip and I told her she had to ask mommy and daddy, which daddy said no. Everything was normal, we dropped them and the kids back off and went to pick up my mother from work (one car and its mommas). After picking her up she shows me a message that my bother sent:

"why do I have extra protein in my drink and gave it to his girl and their daughter without letting them know. How I waste my money on the gym and supplements then try to posion his 4 year old and girlfriend with the drink."

For me, he sounded stupid because it was only a banana not the stuff from the gym and I wouldn't have gave them the stuff like what I bought, something that I spend my hard earned money on to lose weight. So I reread the text a couple of times to make sure i understood and wasnt misreading then text both of them and said

"Since you want to pick a fight don't text me again if your going to be stupid and think I was going to give that stuff to a 4 year old, and if the mother wasn't comfortable with the idea of extra protein in a drink she could have said no. And if was such a big issue why not text me instead of our mother"

This led to a conflict with me and my mother because she believes I was in the wrong to text them, and that I should have left it alone. Which I was upset he thinks I would harm my niece or nephew. Then instead of confronting me he listened to the girlfriend and texted mommy.

So am I wrong for getting mad and texting over a smoothie?
