Swimming! Soccer! Ballet! Oboe! CORN SYRUUUUUUUP! -- I've been resisting the much-ballyhooed Dunkin Donuts smoothies because I figured they must be loaded with calories, like DD's other "summery" drinks. At 360, it's somewhat better than I thought -- but it's all sugar, 69 grams worth of straight up sugar, invert sugar, and good ol' high HFCS, aka "The Diabetes Maker." If they replaced the sugars and "neutral base" (mmmm!) with orange juice and frozen real fruit, maybe sprinkled in some wheat germ, the thing might actually be nutritious...but not as easy to extrude into the waiting maws of Massachusetts. Drink up!
