McDonald's Smoothies
Posted: July 29th, 2010, 2:50 pm
Below is the info on McDonalds new smoothies. A small 12 oz WITH yogurt is 210 calories with 44 gms sugar, (medium 16 oz = 260 cal / 55 g sugar and large 22 oz = 330 cal / 70 g sugar)and WITHOUT yogurt small 12oz is 180 calories w/41 gms sugar...not clear how much of the sugar calories are from the fruit vs from the added sugar in the ingredients list. Also, it's interesting they post the ingredients on a flyer at the counter saying just Berry Fruit Blend w/Yogurt & Ice (ie no specific mention of the sugar)....
Here's an interesting article from thatsfit.com:
