A) Summer is here. B) Smoothies taste good. C) Smoothies are refreshing. D) Smoothies are a healthy choice. Which of these is false? Maybe none - or maybe D. Just because there is fruit in a smoothie doesn’t make it healthy. Many smoothie stands and stores add all sorts of artificial flavors which add unnatural sugars and calories. And if your smoother vendor adds creme, high cal yogurt or added sugar. Maybe choice D is false indeed.

Try to hold the extra flavorings, the special boosters and the yogurt if possible (or use fat free). If you don’t think you can do without the added sugar - try it once. You may be surprised. Finally, get a small! Too much sugar, even natural sugar, and too many carbs are not good for your waistline. Everything in moderation and you can enjoy your smoothies all summer long without packing on the pounds.
