Here is the ad on the web page for Jamba Juice! Sounds healthy doesn't it? Guess what, an "Original" of this luscious drink does have 9 grams of protein (who knows what kind) and 3 grams of fiber. And with all that Vitamin C and Calcium It is almost enough to think it is healthy. Checking the label below, we find that there is:
1/4th of your TOTAL DAILY CALORIES in a single serving drink!!! And THAT IS SUGAR!!!
That's right, 143 grams of sugar!!
That is over 5 ounces of sugar or about 1/3 of a pound!!! I can't imagine swallowing 1/3 pound of sugar in one drink!
To be fair, they do offer lower calorie selections. If you want a treat in a drink, then these can be good. BUT READ THE LABEL!!!
| Hype!!->->
This is true, but doesn't mean that this drink has it! |

Your body requires energy and essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and certain fatty acids to sustain life. A healthy diet should supply you with the right amount of these nutrients through a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
For the average diet of 2000 calories a day, the World Health Organization, USDA and other leading authorities recommend that 55-60% of calories come from carbs, 10-20% from proteins, and 20-30% from fats. Plus, studies show that diets low in sodium, containing a good source of potassium, may reduce the risk of stroke and high blood pressure!
That's right, you guessed it - Most Jamba fruit smoothies are both a good source of potassium and low in sodium... how smart!
