[MUSIC PLAYING] Hi, Dr. Mike Roizen. What healthy drink-- well, what I really
mean is what's supposedly healthy drink may have more sugar than a Snickers bar and more
calories than a glazed donut? That smoothie you grab for an afternoon energy lift.
Yup, just because there's fruit in a smoothie doesn't mean it's healthy. Here's how to keep your waistline in check.
One, customize your order. Hold the special boosters and extra flavorings. Choose fat free and sugar free plain yogurt.
Two, go for the light options. Some bars make it easy for you. At some juice bars, you only have to say make it a skinny.
Three, check out the online nutrition information in advance. Knowing the calorie tab makes that indulgent peanut butter
chocolate treat a lot less tempting. And four, share it. If you really need all 20 ounces, ask for an extra cup
and split it with your child or the person at the next cube. That's it. Four steps for a smarter snack.
