What happens if you only drink one smoothie a day?

The Risk of Nutritional Deficiencies This means you'll have deficiencies in certain nutrients if you exist solely on smoothies. Low calorie diets like this can often lead to mineral deficiencies, and plant based diets can increase the potential for iron and zinc deficiencies too.

The Risk of Nutritional Deficiencies

Smoothies are a great way to easily pack some extra nutrients into your day but they won’t provide you a full array of nutrition. This means you’ll have deficiencies in certain nutrients if you exist solely on smoothies. Low calorie diets like this can often lead to mineral deficiencies, and plant based diets can increase the potential for iron and zinc deficiencies too. Iron and calcium can be there to some degree in green smoothies but you’d need a lot of things like kale to get the amounts you need.

The Problem With Low Protein Plans

As an exclusively-smoothie diet is classed as a plant based diet, not getting enough protein can also be a problem. This can lead to physical symptoms such as tiredness, having little energy and a “fuzzy” head. Lack of protein can also slow down your metabolism and have an even bigger effect on your weight loss efforts. Generally, vegans and vegetarians who follow a plant based diet will get their protein from other sources but obviously this won’t be an option if you’re following a smoothie only diet. You’re therefore more likely to be lacking in it compared to them.

What is the Five Day Protein Shake Diet

At the other end of the spectrum, replacing all daily meals with protein shakes also has its health risks. The “5 Day Protein Shake Diet” is an example of such a regime. The idea is to consume five protein shakes a day for five days, or for another limited period of time, under medical supervision. The shakes have very low sugar contents and only little carbs and fat, and thus very low on calories - around 600 to 1400 per day. This diet has been found to be very effective, but unfortunately it can lead to serious side effects such as abnormalities of the heart and cognitive dysfunction caused by nutrient deficiencies. A slightly more balanced version of this diet calls for two smoothies a day and one meal. This is still a smoothie fast, but at least you get to catch up with some of the required nutrients while eating a regular low-calorie meal.

What is in the jetty punch at Tropical Smoothie?

Anndddd… it only has 4 ingredients! Banana, strawberries, agave syrup, and ice! That's it! It's so yummy and it leaves you feeling super healthy and full when you're finished.

Copycat Tropical Smoothie Jetty Punch

When we used to live in Las Vegas, Tropical Smoothie was regularly visited by us because of my mom’s Wheatgrass shot kick that she was on at the time. During that time I literally lived off Jetty Punch smoothies. The strawberry-banana combo has always been a favorite of mine. When we first moved to Virginia there weren’t any Tropical Smoothie locations near us so the Jetty Punch habit kind of faded. That is until we decided to stop at a Tropical Smoothie for lunch on the way home from Bubbie’s a few week’s ago and all the love I once had for Jetty Punch Smoothies returned the instant I took my first sip. On the way home I was thinking to myself… you know I bet you I could make a healthier version of this with out all the artificial stuff.. and boy, was I right! Back at home I set out creating a copycat recipe that ended up tasting just like the Tropical smoothie version. Anndddd… it only has 4 ingredients! Banana, strawberries, agave syrup, and ice! That’s it! It’s so yummy and it leaves you feeling super healthy and full when you’re finished. Most of the time I don’t even end up drinking all of it. It’s such an easy on-the-go breakfast because you can easily drink it on the way to work. You’ve gotta try it. Enjoy!
