How do you drink a smoothie by accident?

[banksdea 10]

Didn't check all the ingredients. I just need to know if I set myself back while drinking a carrot, banana and strawberry smoothie ????. I eat a lot of the sugar free recommended foods but there's always a little sugar in "sugar free" stuff right? ????I see my doctor on Friday.

^{You probably didn't "set yourself back" but anything not on your approved list isn't doing what you need. I am sure you learned a valuable lesson about labels and one slip isn't the end of the world, get back on that horse!!}

Was it homemade or bottled? The problem with fruit smoothies is it''s pretend health food. You're drinking concentrated sugar with limited Fiber. I agree with others, stick to what's on your allowable list.

smoothies are ok if it's just fresh fruit juice. Not concentrated juice or premade juice but actually fresh pressed or squeezed juice!!! But when they add frozen yogur, sugars ,ice cream etc... It's not a smoothie it's a full on MILK shake with fruit in it!!! Not good!!
