Is Booster Juice REALLY That Healthy For You?

Booster Juice promotes itself as a healthy alternative and with a menu that includes wheatgrass, protein, and herbal supplements,  I would assume they're right.  But with all their smoothies containing 4 servings of fruit or more, you have to take into consideration the high sugar levels, and high sugar levels equal high calories.

It all comes down to your choice of smoothie flavour. A regular size of Funky Monkey contains 512 calories. It mostly consists of chocolate soy milk and bananas, but it's the equivalent to a Quarter Pounder with cheese! To be fair, I've had a very in-depth look at the Booster Juice nutrition guide and overall these smoothies range from 262 - 512 calories, and that's in regular 12 oz. sizes. That's not bad! And when in doubt, go for the the snack size. Reader's Digest Best Health recommends Banana Beach. This is the healthiest smoothie available. "And with an added protein booster, the balanced nutrients in this drink means your blood sugar will not rise too quickly and you will be satisfied longer after consuming it. Banana Beach also provides you with 30 percent of your daily vitamin C needs. "


Wheat grass shots are another extremely healthy option Booster Juice offers. What a powerful superfood wheatgrass can be, with over 50 health benefits, wheatgrass can:

• Improve blood sugar disorders

• Prevent tooth decay

• Wash drug deposits from the body

• Neutralize toxins in the body

• Help purify the liver

• Help slow down the aging process
