Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
It's the climax of summer; at least it sure feels like it here in southern California. Sure I'd love to go jump in the Pacific, or perhaps the pool out back, but really, I just did my hair!
So how to keep cool? Cool down from the inside with a refreshing smoothie. However, the smoothie and juice options out there are endless, whether you're deciding on the place, or what to get once you're there. AOL has a quick "report card" on two places that offer smoothies: Jamba Juice, and what we might consider Jamba's complete opposite, Dunkin Donuts. How did the two fare?
The three smoothies from Jamba Juice all got a grade of B or lower. The Mighty Cherry Charger got the B, but also packs a whopping 320 calories into its "slender" 16 oz. size. Both the Strawberry Whirl and Strawberry Nirvana are fewer calories, but get a lower overall grade for either tasting too sweet, or having an overwhelming artificial sweetener aftertaste.
But Jamba Juice certainly fared better than Dunkin Donuts, which received a D- for the Strawberry Banana Smoothie and a failing F for the Mnago Passion Fruit. Guess you may as well stick with the Donuts at Dunkin'.

I have a Magic Bullet, and have been making smoothies for myself and my daughter (10 months old) out of yogurt, bananas, and whatever other fruit I happen to have on hand. She especially likes pineapple and strawberry. Way cheaper, and I control the sugar content (I don't add any, but there's some in the yogurt), and they're healthy (at least a serving of fruit in each, plus calcium and yogurty goodness). Win, win, win. The Magic Bullet makes it really easy. I highly recommend this device. I never used to get out my big, bulky blender, but I use the Magic Bullet every day.

Think woman think!
