The U.S. food industry has declared war on your waistline. Here's how to disarm its weapons of mass inflation By: Matt Goulding
19. Worst Drink Jamba Juice Chocolate Moo'd Power Smoothie (30 fl oz)
900 calories 10 g fat 183 g carbs (166 g sugar)
Jamba Juice calls it a smoothie; we call it a milk shake. In fact, this beverage contains more sugar than two pints of Ben and Jerry's Butter Pecan ice cream.
Turn Down the Power: Seventy-five percent of this chain's "power smoothies" contain in excess of 100 grams of sugar.
Stick to Jamba's lower-calorie All Fruit Smoothies, which are the only menu items that contain no added sugar. And always opt for the 16-ounce "small."
The saying "it's tight, but it's right!" is definitely apropos. My readers I hope you can see clearly that not all smoothies are alike. We must choose life and our destiny. No one else can do this for you. As a child, your parents or caretakers made decisions for you. But now that you are of age, you must decipher, analyse and make decisions for yourself. A little sugar is fine, but too much and too often can be deadly.
Why not make your own smoothie this evening for dessert. Yes, pass up the double fudge brownie and treat yourself to a real healthy dessert that will extend and not shorten your life. This is how you can love yourself and be a Winner at life!
