I love a good smoothie! I mean, who doesn’t? Smoothies are a great way to get all the daily nutritional value of fruits and vegetables without actually having to eat them raw. Unfortunately, smoothies can, at times, be unhealthy with an excess of sugar and calories that can cause you to gain weight rather than lose it.

Smoothie King, our favorite smoothie shop which offers a variety of healthy and (honestly) not so healthy smoothie options is a great place to go if you are looking for a quick snack or meal replacement. However, if you're trying to keep it healthy, there's one menu option you should avoid...
Don’t order the Strawberry Hulk! With butter pecan ice cream, bananas and a weight gain blend, this smoothie has as many calories as a Burger King Double Whopper. Yuck!
On top of the crazy amount of calories you would be ingesting, your sugar intake would reach around a whopping 125 grams. Talk about a sugar rush!
