Made with the right ingredients like fresh fruits, vegetables, yogurt, milk, and a few superfood ingredients, smoothies can be good for you and a nutritious snack option or as a meal replacement. Most store-bought smoothies or from the smoothie shop often have added sugars and come in super-sized portions. While sugars from fruit are beneficial and all-natural, portions still matter. Many convenient smoothie options have added amounts of sweeteners in the form of sweetened yogurts, ice-cream, sweetened dairy-free milk, syrups, and more. These add unnecessary calories and quite frankly, they arent needed. Of course, youll still be getting vitamins and nutrients, but the high calorie content could derail any health goals you have set.
