Target Shoppers and Smoothie Lovers
A client sent me a message a few days ago asking about these pre-made smoothies located in the freezer section at Target. Here are the ingredients lists. Notice the added sugars. (Fruit is already sweet enough by itself) The first smoothie also contains MSG. (It's listed as "modified food starch" on the label) Read about the dangers of MSG here: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/04/21/msg-is-this-silent-killer-lurking-in-your-kitchen-cabinets.aspx
The healthiest option would be to make your own green smoothie at home! It only takes about 10 minutes in the morning. Another idea if you are short on time is to make ahead freezer bags with chopped up fruit, greens, protein powder, etc. Just pull a bag out of the freezer, dump into your blender, add your liquid of choice, and blend until smooth!
