The Worst Way to Get 30 Grams of Protein

Wowsies. I have not bought one recently, but I will stay away for sure now. You forgot to mention the price. They are not cheap either!

This is really all about education. Because, as someone fairly educated about food and nutrition, I look at the picture and I know that bananas, pineapples, oranges and coconuts have very little protein, but lots and lots of sugar.

Even worse. Those two types of protein that they have added are two of the worst protein sources out there How do you read about way protein and how it really is an afterthought? And the research of course is controversial on soy

Suzy

Thank you for sharing this important information. We are told so often to read the label...but in this case, reading the whole label. I can't help but feel really deceived by the front because it does seem like this is promoted as something healthy, and really, it's not!

Carol

420 calories for a drink is a bit excessive. Don't you think???

Gayle

Everything in this smoothie is highly processed. When the grams of sugar equal what would normally be found in 4 cups of pineapple and the product contains 0 grams of fiber, you know you are in trouble.

Valerie

Thank you, and OMG - outrageous! I read everything I encounter about nutrition and food/drink content, but this seems stunningly deceptive and I find intelligent, educated people I know falling for it because they're in a hurry and glean their whole impression from the front of the bottle. This and Vitamin Water - but this product is even worse.

Great expose' on reading labels and sugar! I've already passed this info on to family. The calories too are crazy high. Its like a whole meal's worth.

Many years ago my GP told me to ''skip juice, eat the fruit'' and I've respected him since that day. [He was new to US, had come from Italy.] Like most Snack-girl followers I eat whole fruit every day altho I often like to flavor my water with a bit of juice similar to a squeeze of lemon.

Thanks for pointing out deceptive marketing and use of buzz words health seekers look for!

very disappointed but I'm a label reader so they don't fool me. Not a fan of smoothies in general. I've always been a proponent of 'eat the whole food - whether sweet or savory - and skip the juice'

What about "Shakeology"? Have you looked into

their smoothies and Program? Very interested in your answer as many women at my gym have

been leaning toward this.

I would be more satisfied with a bowl of whole fruit & unsweet greek yogurt than a smoothie. I just don't associate drinks as being filling as solid,whole food.

I will admit that I have these everyonce in a while but I did fail to read the sugar content! I try to make my own smoothies with a frozen banana, yogurt, and what ever other non frozen fruit I have on hand (usually strawberries) it's very yummy.

Funny how my last comment was immediately deleted, and then comments closed. Like others have said. You don't understand what sugar is, or how to interpret calories. This is fruit. If you think this is bad for you, then you think fruit is bad for you. Fructose is not like normal sugar. Calories from low GI is far removed from high gi sugar in soda drinks. Please educate yourself more in this area rather than continue to spread misinformation in a very irresponsible way.

Every comment here by other people can be attributed to ANY fruit smoothie. Why are you directing this at Naked? It's a fruit smoothie. "But it's got sugar!", yes, it's a fruit smoothie. "But, calories too!", yes, it's a fruit smoothie. "But, processed!!1", yes, it's a fruit smoothie. Why are you slandering Naked, for just making a fruit smoothie? If you don't want a fruit smoothie, don't buy one. But if you do, Naked smoothie is an excellent fruit smoothie.
