Sure, it seems convenient to grab a smoothie mix from the grocery store or a ready-made smoothie at the café, but what do you really get for that convenience? One thing you’ll get is plenty of nutrient-void sugar. The smoothies at one popular café chain often pack in more than 100 grams of sugar per serving—that’s more than twice the amount found in a 12-ounce can of soda! Those options are also full of calories, loading your waistline with about 400-600 calories per 24-ounce serving.
