Smoothie King
I have just begun my journey and am looking for options to replace my bad fast food habit. I work four ten hour days and I am usually good about packing breakfast and lunch, or getting some lunch off the salad bar or sushi from my company's excellent cafeteria, but in the evening I am just too tired and get home too late to cook.
I have latched onto Boston Market turkey breast with two green veggies, and last night I went to Smoothie King. So far I have tried two of their "Veggie Blend" smoothies--the Berry Carrot Dream and the Veggie Avocado Pineapple. They aren't marked as meal replacements, but if I get a large one it fills me up at less than 500-600 calories and if I get hungry before bed I eat a handful of nuts or a boiled egg or something similar.
Does anyone here go to Smoothie King or another smoothie place, and if so do you have any suggestions? Most of the "meal replacement" blends seem scarily high-calorie to me but I'm new to this. Any advice would be welcome.

Wow after looking at the nutritional information on them the 3 I would even consider having would be the Gladiator Chocolate, Gladiator Strawberry, and Gladiator Vanilla. The rest are junk. The carbs and sugar are insanely high.
I would personally find another type of meal replacement maybe a lean cuisine or something like that for dinner. Or on your days off make a roast or meatloaf or something that you can get a few meals out of so when you get home from work you just pop it in the microwave. Here are the stats for the Smoothie King.

Holy **** I just went into a diabetic coma looking at this! Amazing how we think we're eating healthy & it turns out we're not. Thanks for posting this. I'll stick to making my own smoothies where I can control the amount of fruit I put in there. That's whenever I start making smoothies again. lol
