Smoothie:
Yogurt, cup -- 18 gr. carbs, 140 cal. 25 gr. fat. (1% fat)
Orange juice 6 oz. -- 27 gr. carbs, 110 cal. 24 gr. SUGAR
Strawberry 2 ea. 70 gr. -- 7 gr. carbs. 30 cal. 4.2 gr. SUGAR
Banana, large -- 31 gr. carbs. 121 cal. 16.6 gr. SUGAR
Totals: 83 gr. carbs. 401 cal. 44.8 gr. SUGAR
Smoothie is high in potassium, vitamins, 11 gr. protein. But way too high in carbohydrates, and the 27 gr. carbs in orange juice is 24 gr. of sugar -- fructose. Sugar too in the strawberry and banana. The glycemic load for this item is WAY beyond tolerance and spikes the insulin levels.
I had one this morning, and then did the numbers. And now I'm not feeling well.
Eliminating orange juice would bring the count down to about 55 gr. carb. w/ some protein (yogurt). That's still borderline on the 58 gr. / meal target, and not enough fiber to fill me up and satisfy my hunger.
