How much sugar is in a Sunrise Sunset smoothie?

According to Tropical Smoothie Cafe’s nutrition information, the Sunrise Sunset smoothie has 95 grams of sugar. This does not specify how much of this may be added sugar (if at all). I would assume that this is all from the fruit and juice itself, depending on the type of orange juice that is used.

Is the Sunrise Sunset smoothie healthy?

I imagine that it can be. If there are no added sugars and if you add a few extra things for some additional nutrition.

Ingredients to Make a Sunrise Sunset Smoothie Copycat:

• Frozen Strawberries
• Frozen Pineapples
• Frozen Mango
• Orange Juice: I like to use orange juice with no added sugars so that I can adjust the sweetness to my tastes.
• Sweetener: This is optional if you find that your smoothie tastes too tart. I like to use maple syrup.

How to Make a Sunrise Sunset Smoothie:

1. Add the strawberries, pineapples, mango, orange juice, and maple syrup to a blender.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. Enjoy right away.

Things to Add to Your Smoothie to Make it More Nutritious:

• Protein Boost: Add a scoop of protein powder of your choice. I’d recommend a fruit-flavored or vanilla protein powder that won’t clash with the fruit in the smoothie.
• Greek Yogurt: I recommend plain Greek yogurt for a boost of protein and to make the smoothie creamier.
• Add Superfoods: a tablespoon of chia seeds, hemp seeds, or ground flax seeds are all great ways to add healthy fats, fiber, and minerals to your smoothie without changing the flavor.
• Extra Fruit: the choices are totally up to you.
• More Greens: add raw or cooked kale, chard, or collard greens for an added boost of nutrition.
• Neutral Veggies: cauliflower is excellent to add to this smoothie for more veggie power.
