I was in the dairy isle at my local Safeway and found a light smoothie. Its by Lucerne called simpley ‘Light Smoothie’ I tried it in Peach. It has 190 calories and no fat. Its a nonfat dairy beverage. It was on sale 10 for $10, for a dollar I figured it would make a quick snack. My kids and myself were all starving so I knew Id never hear the end of the complaining if I didnt get something for them for in the car. At first sip I was surprised at how thick it was, basically it was just prestirred yogurt, it was very very sweet. The kids enjoyed it and finished it up. Afterwards I looked at the ingredient list and noticed Chicory Root Extract which is not recommended in pregnancy so I wont be buying this again until after this baby is born.

This ‘light smoothie’ contains 500mg potassium which is 14% daily value, 7 grams of fiber (from the chicory root) which is a whopping 28% of daily value! and 12 grams of protien which is 24% of daily value.
