TAZA DAILYAre Smoothies Healthy? It Depends What's In Them
Smoothies have a health halo — but some are closer to dessert than a meal. The difference is what goes in.
What makes a smoothie healthy
- Whole fruit, not juice — keeps the fibre
- Protein — turns it into a meal that satisfies
- No added sugar, syrups or sorbet
- A healthy fat (nut butter, seeds) for staying power
The red flags
Frozen-yoghurt bases, fruit syrups and “sorbet” smoothies can pack as much sugar as a soda. A green colour doesn’t make it healthy.
The honest version
That’s the whole idea behind Taza: real fruit, oats and protein, sweetened only with dates and honey — a smoothie that’s genuinely a meal, not a sugar hit.
