How did I choose the only "bad" fruit smoothie??

I was craving a fruit smoothie yesterday.  A new store, Smoothie King opened by me and I went there for a snack between lunch and breakfast.  There were so many smoothie choices but I finally decided on one.  Would you believe that 3 of 60 fruit smmothis they have are not reccommended for pregnant women and of course it was one of the ones I chose.  Apparently it had some caffeine supplement in it.  I read the fine print in the pamphlet (menu) only after I drank the damn thing.  Baby must have been bouncing around like crazy after that treat.

    Be careful when ordering from Smoothie king because as "healthy" as a smoothie sounds, a lot of theirs have a ton of calories and they do add in suppliments. One of my co-workers ended up with a 1,000 calorie smoothie after googling the nutrition info!

     Thanks for the warning.  I looked up the cals before I left my house cause I am a little anal like that.  This one only had 330, not too bad.  Too bad they did not post the info online about the not reccommeded for pregnant women issue.

    I love Smoothie King but haven't been in a long time. I worked there for 2 years in high school. Yummy!
