Tim Horton's Fruit Smoothie Ingredients

As usual, Tim Horton's just doesn't get it...

As the population adopts healthier lifestyles, Tim Horton's has tried to pick up on the "Smoothie Trend" - which is
not really a trend but a lifestyle - once you start making them each day, it's very hard to ever stop! And why would
one want to?...they are quick, easy, diverse and super healthy if made correctly. Unfortunately, Timmy has, once
again, opted for the lowest common denominator when it comes to their ingredients.

I will give them credit for at least putting in some real fruit, which is more than can be said for their Apple Cider -
which is nothing but artificial flavors and colors. To the dismay of those who do understand nutrition, Timmy has
made nearly a complete mockery of the smoothie by adding in pasteurized dairy, harmful sugars (all contain 30
grams of sugar or more, which isn't far off Coca Cola's 39 grams) like "high-fructose corn syrup" and artificial
flavors/colors (caramel color). The protein content, which only comes from the milk and whey (very cheap and
poor sources), is only about 2 grams - not enough to counteract the damage from all the sugar. The fruit itself
is a "puree concentrate" which is likely very poor quality (acidic) and certainly not FRESH, which is what most
smoothie creators demand.

In all, Timmy has failed miserably due their penchant for cheap ingredients and the reality is that their "smoothies"
are nothing more than glorified milkshakes. But this may not stop many Canadians from purchasing them since most
don't bother to read ingredients and they are not readily available at the store or on the cup label. However, I have
obtained a copy from their head office (ATTACHED) and we can educate people by passing this email along.

The bottom line is, don't make Tim's "smoothies" a daily habit - make them at home before you go to work (or whenever!)
- you can make them best!...

Here are some suggestions for a HEALTHY smoothie you can make in just a few minutes at home...

Base: Pure Filtered Water/Rice Milk/Almond Milk
Fruits/Veggies: Nearly Anything Organic!...Mixed Berries/Bananas/Carrots/Dark Greens etc.
Protein: Organic Hemp (best)/Brown Rice/Yellow Pea
SuperFood Blends: GreenZone/Greens+/Living Fuel/Sun Warrior Ormus Greens/Vega
Nuts/Seeds: Almonds/Flax/Pumpkin (make sure to buy NATURAL RAW and ORGANIC)

Add a bit of sweetener like Maple Syrup if needed. There are many variations but Green Superfood Smoothies
can be an incredibly beneficial start to your day and are great for the whole family!
