Do you avoid all smoothies or just restaurant/fast food smoothies?
I make them all the time without any added sugar, but I know the fruit I use probably has a lot to begin with.
All smoothies. Fruit tends to have a lot of carbs and considering that one of them without sugar can end up having a meals worth of carbs, it doesn't seem worth it.
