Smoothies can be a great way to boost fiber and produce in your diet and even get a hearty dose of protein and healthy fats. Unfortunately, not all smoothies are created equally, and you may be surprised to learn how much added sugar is in your favorite fast-food smoothie. While fruit is packed with natural sugar, the sugar that is added to smoothies to enhance their sweetness is considered a less healthy form.
Lower in added sugar: Although it isn’t easy to see exactly how much added sugar is in each product at Tropical Smoothie, we tried to choose options that appeared to have the least added sugar and could easily be modified to reduce added sugar. While you can safely consume moderate amounts of this nutrient, you should limit your intake as much as possible.
The Bahama Mama Bowl offers the lowest calorie count among the bowls and also provides an impressive 16 grams of fiber. Unfortunately, it only comes with 3 grams of protein, so consider adding a serving of whey protein powder for 16 grams of protein. You can also skip the honey here for some sugar savings.
If you are interested in eggs for breakfast, this wrap may be your best bet at Tropical Smoothie. A simple wrap with eggs, spinach, cheese, roasted bell peppers, and pesto makes this a flavorful and nutritious option. It only has two grams of fiber, which isn’t enough for a meal, but you can boost this number by asking for additional veggies. The 17 grams of protein will be sure to make this a satisfying option.
This Chicken Pesto Flatbread may not seem like a healthy choice at first glance, but this option packs lean protein from chicken, healthy fats from pesto, and a reasonable number of calories. Add fruit of veggie on the side for a boost of fiber and more food volume, or enjoy on its own as a complete meal. Skip one of the cheeses to drop calories and fat grams, and request extra veggies for an even healthier option.
