purely because of the sugar content? or?

that, and it has some non-blended food product in it. blended / juice fruit destroys a lot of the nutritional 'point' of fruit (same with the granola) and unless your actually deficient the vitamins / minerals mean nothing. I'll concede it may be equal.

Either way, my overall point is that not only isn't a health product, but it's a strait up liquid dessert. Maybe not you but a lot of people see "real fruit" and "added yogurt" and think it actually means something health wise. It really doesn't. The fact that the macros are so similar to a king sized candy bar and the packaging makes it look like a healthy product is... disturbing, and why mrs. 400lb blue hair blogs about her glandular problem "because she eats a healthy diet"

The only other product of theirs I drink

I have been eating more salad lately too, but been drinking this for supplemental greens. You think blending it ruins this too?

It ruins the value of the fiber and it's overall delivery systems of nutrients into your body (plus the first ingredient in that is apple juice, which is very slightly more nutritional than sugar water). Like anything else, veggies need to be consumed with complete proteins and fats in order for their benefits to be properly absorbed into your system. I'm a nutritional layman so someone can correct me but ya, consuming single source 'meal replacements' and grinding it all up is pretty bad when it comes to balance.

edit: "a half cup of spinach, kale and romaine" first of all, romaine is nutritionally equal to water, second, a half cup of any leafy green is nothing. Take a half cup and fill it with some spinach or kale, then blend just that, or cook it and watch it turn into a thimble sized cup of green goo. this type of marketing should be illegal imo

Besides, if we're talking "healthy" dessert smoothies, Naked's banana chocolate drink blows any of the Bolthouse Farms flavors outta here.

Did some research into smoothies, main issue seems to be it destroys the insoluble fiber and causes your liver to get hit with too much sugar at once. Without the insoluble fiber slowing absorption, some nutrients end up not being utilized due to entering the system too fast. The ideal would be eating whole fruits / vegetables instead, but a smoothie still is better than not eating fruits / vegetables at all. And I still don't see how pure processed sugar in a candy bar could be healthier. Those peanuts in the Snickers make up for it? IDK man.

There really isn't a better thread for this as far as I'm aware. Last year I tried to propose a "grocery thread" so convos like this wouldn't happen in the Fast Food thread, and everyone told me to fuck off. I think maybe people just like to bitch at me no matter what. :p

The weight loss thread is where these discussion take place.

We had a work function catered by mission bbq. Holy fuck I love their baked beans. I went back for seconds, thirds, and fourths because all these dainty coworkers seemed content with one plate and there was a ton of beans. Definitely get the beans if you hit mission bbq.

Doesn't matter. All this nutrition shit that fatties care about is in that thread. You should go make some posts about the merits or lack thereof for keto while you're at it.

I bought a used flatbed truck yesterday and it had a 13 speed transmission that I had never driven before. I was taking it to get fuel and then I was supposed to come back into town and meet my family at DQ for dinner but it turned out I couldn't shift the fucking thing to save my life so after going 3/4 of a mile down the busiest street in town grinding gears, going 5 mph in a 35 zone, and coming to a complete stop once, I got out to the gas station and called my brother to tell him there was no fucking way I was taking that truck back into town until I learned how to drive it. Instead I had 2 jalapeno cheddar hot dogs off of the roller thing at the gas station and a sleeve of double stuf oreos. The hot dogs were surprisingly good and the whole thing was under $5. Maybe I should eat gas station food more often.
