Bought my wife a Nutri Ninja blender. Thought I'd have a go this morning and for breakfast I made a smoothie. Apart from being a bit too thick (more milk needed!) it was yummy. Mango, Pineapple, Banana, Porridge Oats, Honey, Yogurt & Milk. 212kcal a portion.

It's not just the calories you need to look at with smoothies, by blending you are releasing all the sugars for fast digestion and I'm guessing one portion is pretty much your whole daily allowance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It probably is high in sugar but I'm not bothered about that right now. Have been on a calorie limited diet since 5th Jan and lost 23lbs so far.
Although in fairness the act of limiting calories will naturally lower my sugar and fat intake too as they tend to be high in calories.

Just saying be careful not to replace calories by sugar. It's possible to lose weight on a sugar laden diet.

You made me curious about just how much sugar was in it. I'm going to work it out.......

I have a condition which worsens with sugar consumption and milk, juices and smoothies are pretty much banned.
I used to eat a similar smoothie to yours from Pod and for about 2/3 pint it's 590 kCal inc. 108g of carbs. :s

For diabetics, I advocate eating fruit rather than drinking it. Fibre dampens down the digestion and absorption so there's less of a sugar spike. When you juice fruit, it can be akin to a mix of sugar and water, which isn't particularly healthy.

Does juicing differ from blending whereby all the fruit fibre stays in the 'drink' _________________Twitter Blogflickr

Right, worked it out. My very thick smoothie (!) was:
233g portion
212Kcal
21g sugar
**edit**
Just had a little comparison. An Innocent Pineapple, Banana & Coconut 250ml smoothie has 31g of sugar and a standard 330ml can of Coke has 35g.

The sugar in the oats is negligible and I included the milk, yes.
