7.Smoothies
In small amounts, pure fruit smoothies are very good for you. But many contain large amounts of added sugar, ice cream or sherbet. Even pure fruit smoothies are bad for you
in large amounts. Fruits contain lots of natural sugars, which are much better for you than
refined sugar, but even natural fruit sugars will put weight on you, if you eat enough
of them. Some smoothies served at smoothie bars clock in at over 500 calories.
However smoothies contain numerous health benefits because of all the beneficial vitamins
and minerals in fruit. Make your own smoothies using pure fruit and water and stick to one
small glass a day to keep the weight off, whilst soaking up all the benefits.
