Adding sugary ingredients, such as juices or sweeteners, can turn a healthy smoothie into a calorie bomb.

Blending fruits and vegetables retains most of their fiber, which aids digestion and helps control blood sugar.

Adding ingredients like protein powder, nuts, or seeds can make smoothies a balanced meal option.

Commercially sold smoothies or smoothie mixes may contain hidden sugars and preservatives.

A well-balanced smoothie can help control hunger, making it a good snack or meal replacement.

While smoothies can be healthy, portion control and ingredient choices matter for overall health.
