A meal-replacement smoothie can be a convenient food option, but its suitability depends on the complete recipe and the rest of a person's diet.
Check the finished drink
Start with the base products, then include fruit, cereal, granola, whipped topping, syrups and other additions. Those additions can materially change calories, sugar and allergens.
Selected Broadway recipes made with one serving each of Formula 1 and Protein Drink Mix have a 24g-protein base. Other recipes vary.
No guaranteed result
A smoothie does not guarantee weight loss or another health outcome. Individual needs may require advice from a registered dietitian or other qualified professional.
