added. This gives them a thicker milkshake-like consistency.

They have long been a popular (25) ............. to fizzy drinks and
are

marketed as a healthy option. For many years now they have been

They are packed with fruit and vegetables, but are smoothies really
good

One popular brand (27) ............. that their drinks contained two
of the

consume every day. This claim resulted in an investigation into just

smoothie (28) .............. The research found that the brand’s
250ml

non-dairy drinks did in fact contain sufficient pulped fruit and
fruit juice to

count for two of the recommended (29) ............. portions of

are good for us. However, not all smoothies are the same. There is a
