What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated/frozen smoothie or juice aisle — an easy grab for rushed mornings, weekend brunch blends, or a portable snack on the go. It reads healthy and tropical, but the added cane sugar plus small amounts of sunflower lecithin, guarana extract and citric acid and the smooth, ready-to-blend texture indicate industrial formulation and processing typical of ultra-processed drinks.
