Fruit smoothies are tasty and can be filled with plenty of good nutrition. But, before you order one, check out the nutrition facts.
They can be loaded with calories. Smoothies that are promoted for their “muscle-building” qualities can have up to 900 calories for a 20-ounce drink! Hint: Smoothie nutrition facts are often provided per ounce. If your smoothie is 20 ounces, and each ounce has 30 to 35 calories, your smoothie just cost you 600 to 700 calories. Low-fat or nonfat ingredients and low- or no-sugar ingredients can help reduce a fruit smoothie's calorie count.
