    1/4 cup 2% milk: 30kcal

    1/3 cup Greek yogurt: 100kcal

    1/2 cup frozen mixed berries: 39kcal

    Plus ice and maybe zero calorie sweetener if you want it.

    Total estimated calories: 169kcal

    Which is between 100 and 200kcal.

    Not every smoothie has a bunch of added sugar. I’ve literally made smoothies like this before. That’s how I know. How often do you track calories, my dude?

        Ice has no calories and takes up a lot of space in smoothies. Again, ive made smoothies like this so many times and theyre delicious. Smoothies do not have to be huge – i understand when you’re purchasing one they tend to have more stuff in them to get the value you’re paying, but homemade smoothies tend to be about a cup or so, plus ice.

        To get mathy:

        All of those add up tp roughly 1.1cup without ice

        1.1cup translates to 312ml

        1 can of soda, beer, whatever is 355ml (diff is 43ml)

        If you put ice in a glass, you can easily fill it with a can.

        If you add a decent amount of ice to the smoothie, it’ll be a very reasonably sized smoothie. It may not fill a pint glass, but I do not want to drink that much smoothie lol
