How much sugar in Shakes and Smoothies

 



A food court favorite.

 Orange Julius, Original   20 oz drink  Sugars, total:		38g  Calories, total:		160   Calories from sugar:	152 


The berry flavor comes with a lot more sugar.


 Orange Julius, Raspberry Flavor   20 oz drink  Sugars, total:		54g  Calories, total:		220   Calories from sugar:	216 


Sweet and caloric, but only about half as bad as a milkshake.


 Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino  16 oz (Grande) drink, with whipped cream  Sugars, total:		47g  Calories, total:		380   Calories from sugar:	188 


"Healthy" smoothie? Full of sugar.


 Jamba Juice Sunrise Banana Berry  16 oz drink  Sugars, total:		59g  Calories, total:		280  Calories from sugar:	236 


This is from Jamba Juice's line of "light" smoothies, and it does have about half the sugar.
 Jamba Juice Mango Mantra  16 oz drink  Sugars, total:		30g  Calories, total:		160  Calories from sugar:	120 


Is that brain freeze or a sugar rush?
