Are juice smoothies bought from store really good for you?

Question

The ones that are made with 100% juice not the ones like tropicana where they add stuff...

Most are loaded with sugar.

Answer 2

depends which ones you go for...alot of them are high in sugar and as we all no sugar isnt very good for you in excess...just make sure you go for 100% natural, no additives and check the label, it will tell you whats in it

Answer 3

Smoothies are very healthy, and a great way to boost your daily intake of fruit.

Often, fruit smoothies are high in vitamin C, magnesium & other key nutrients. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, it boosts the immune system and is essential for healthy collagen. Healthy collagen = healthy skin & youthful appearance. So it's true- high intakes of vitamin C help you look younger!

The only disadvantage is that smoothies have a high sugar content, so you should not consume more than one a day. Women should have no more than 90g of sugar per day, men should have no more than 120g of sugar per day. The average 250ml (1 cup) of smoothie contains around 25- 30g of sugar (natural sugar, not refined white sugar).

Smoothies are an easy way to get more fruit into your diet. I drink a glass of fruit smoothie once each day. When I'm at University I carry one in my bag. (It's far healthier than Coke and Soda! The only natural ingredient in Coke is water. You would need a Chemistry Degree to pronounce the names of the ingredients)

I hope this helps!

Answer 4

yes, but as you pointed out make sure you read the label - some include sugar or concentrated juices and sweetners.

100% fruit all the way.
