5. Jamba Juice Fruit and Greek Yogurt Bowl
Some of the smoothies and acai bowls at Jamba Juice can pack more than a day’s worth of sugar because many of them load up on juice blends and sweeteners, in addition to a ton of fruit. So your best option is to go for the fruit and Greek yogurt bowl.
“This yogurt bowl is high in protein, is fairly low in sugar, and is made from whole foods,” Shapiro says. You’ll also get a dose of health-boosting antioxidants and fiber, thanks to the berries. However, this dish is still high in sugar, boasting 42 grams per serving, so if you want to cut back even more, omit the granola and honey.
