There was a time when I believed drinking an Orange Julius original beverage was everything a body could use as the perfect thirst quencher.\u00a0 The high spike in blood sugar never crossed my mind because I always had a raw egg added to it.\u00a0 Well today, a 20-ounce Orange Julius drink
\nhas 38 grams of sugar, which is the equivalent of 6+ teaspoons.\u00a0 One of their updated versions with Raspberry is loaded with 54 grams of sugar, or 13+ teaspoons.
\n<\/p>\n

These sugar gram counts are not all from processed sugar as much of it is derived from the fruit ingredients.\u00a0 But the retailers rarely and most times never use fresh fruit.\u00a0 The fruit comes from a concentrate and it is weighed down with fructose.\u00a0 A few more that really go over the top with high calories and fructose from sugar include Starbuck\u2019s 16-ounce Mocha Frappuccino\u00a0with whipped cream that has 47 grams of sugar, or just shy of 12 teaspoons.\u00a0 Jamba Juice offers a 16-ounce Sunrise Banana Berry with 58 grams, or 12+ teaspoons.<\/p>\n

A person can exercise all they want and never be able to get rid of that belly fat if they are pouring these kind of drinks down their system.\u00a0 The main thing is that when indulging and sipping on \u2018smoothies\u2019 a person has to be fully aware that it comes with fattening consequences.\u00a0 Having a smoothie can easily seem more appropriate to drink in lieu of having candy and\/or soda, but the sugar and calorie count is more extreme.\u00a0 Jamba\u00a0Juice has a 24-ounce smoothie called Peanut Butter Moo\u2019d with 115 grams of sugar, or 28+ teaspoons.\u00a0 For peanut butter lovers, this one smoothie will pack on pounds quick and in a hurry because it is so tasty.<\/p>\n

One would expect that the \u2018Naked\u2019 brand with their popular line of products would be okay to regularly consume, but they have a 15.2-ounce Protein Zone Banana Chocolate smoothie containing 70 grams that equates to 17+ teaspoons.\u00a0 The Naked Juice Company operates
\nas a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo.<\/p>\n

It probably goes without saying that Baskin-Robbins has something with high levels of sugar.\u00a0 However, just for conversation, take their Strawberry Banana Fruit Blast smoothie that contains a whopping 160 grams that is 40 teaspoons of sweet trouble. \u00a0It bears mentioning that this particular smoothie also contains controversial food additive like red #40, yellow #5 and #6.<\/p>\n

The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends women have no more than 100 calories, or about 6 teaspoons of sugar per day.\u00a0 For men, it is 150 calories, or about 9 teaspoons per day.\u00a0 These recommendations do not separate the type of sugars, such as singling out processed or high-fructose corn syrup, just sugar. \u00a0Consequently, in view of watching the ever-expanding waistline, being sugar alert is necessary.<\/p>\n
