Smoothies have carved out a niche for themselves in the food habits of people around the world. And no wonder, as they are simple to make, easy to carry along and tremendously nutritious.
\nNutritious? Are they really?<\/p>\n

Smoothie stands may be popping up all over, but nutritionists say that many of them should label their offerings more accurately as fruity milkshakes. Since these concoctions are often made from frozen cream or yogurt, and therefore loaded in sugar, they are not convincing as a healthy food choice.<\/p>\n

That said, when care is taken to choose the finest and healthiest ingredients, smoothies can indeed be delicious cocktails that pack a nutritional wallop. Here are a few examples sure to inspire you next time you pull out the blender!<\/p>\n
