Beware of these liquid liabilities!
We know, we know: the novelty here almost makes the unhealthiness worth it. An Irish crème swirl! This drink has to be among the most fun ways to start your morning. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most unhealthy.
Goodson explains that many of the calories in this drink come from the cream. She points specifically to the saturated fat in the cream and notes thatrecommends limiting calories from saturated fats to less than 10% of your total caloric intake of the day—both from food and drinks. With 17 grams in this drink alone, you could run into problems."It's providing you with about 32 teaspoons," she says.
But never fear! For Irish Crème lovers, Goodson recommends the Medium Irish Crème Swirl Iced Cappuccino with Skim Milk as a much healthier option ."Smoothie" can be a bit of a misleading word. It conjures up images of fresh fruit and veggies, painting the picture of a healthy snack more than a dessert.
Of course, she adds, ice cream definitely increases the calories and fat content. Even the"Hulk Blend," which is a protein and carb combo, can't qualify this order as healthy. Instead, she says, go for the 20-ounce Slim-N-Trim Strawberry, which has Strawberries, Gladiator® Protein Vanilla, Lean1™ Vanilla Protein, Protein Blend, Stevia Plant-Based Sweetener, and Fiber Blend Enhancer.
