Canned fruit may seem a cheap and easy way to add fruit to your smoothie, but all you're doing is adding extra and unnecessary sugar. Many canned fruits pack their fruit in syrup, which can add up to 20 grams of extra sugar per can, warns Eat This, Not That!. That's as much sugar as in a Snickers bar, according to Spoon University. If you have to use canned fruit, look for ones packed in water or its own juice, with no added sugars. And if your only option is canned fruit in syrup, try rinsing the syrup off before using the fruit.
For similar reasons, you should also avoid adding fruit juice, and if you absolutely must, use only 100% juice rather than juice cocktail and limit it to no more than a half cup, recommends Women's Health. When it comes to fruit for smoothies, it's best to use fresh fruit, or better yet frozen fruit, which has the added benefit of making your smoothie "thick and frosty," per Bon Appétit. Whatever type of fruit you choose, just be sure to try and limit it to just one and a half cups (via Food Network). Need some inspiration? Here are some healthy smoothie recipe ideas to get you started.
