Lol at the amount of calories you think are in milk yogurt and berries.

    1/4 cup 2% milk: 30kcal

    1/3 cup Greek yogurt: 100kcal

    1/2 cup frozen mixed berries: 39kcal

    Plus ice and maybe zero calorie sweetener if you want it.

    Total estimated calories: 169kcal

    Which is between 100 and 200kcal.

    Not every smoothie has a bunch of added sugar. I've literally made smoothies like this before. That's how I know. How often do you track calories, my dude?

    I think you’re right in this argument, but that’s a tiny smoothie. It’s barely more than a cup.

    Ice has no calories and takes up a lot of space in smoothies. Again, ive made smoothies like this so many times and theyre delicious. Smoothies do not have to be huge -- i understand when you're purchasing one they tend to have more stuff in them to get the value you're paying, but homemade smoothies tend to be about a cup or so, plus ice.

    To get mathy:

    All of those add up tp roughly 1.1cup without ice

    1.1cup translates to 312ml

    1 can of soda, beer, whatever is 355ml (diff is 43ml)

    If you put ice in a glass, you can easily fill it with a can.

    If you add a decent amount of ice to the smoothie, it'll be a very reasonably sized smoothie. It may not fill a pint glass, but I do not want to drink that much smoothie lol

    I mean, whole milk is 62 kcal per 100ml, plain yoghurt is 66 and berries are another 60... So for a glass of smoothie (I would assume around 20cl), it's quite realistic for it to be maximum 150 kcal, even accounting for some sugar to sweeten it...

    Or am I totally wrong with my calculation?

    We're going to be using different measurements, but the gist of it is that the glass pictured is 16 to 22oz in size. 8oz (one cup) of milk is about 150 calories. Yogurt (plain) is generally the same, unless you use low fat lite yogurt. So just filling the cup with only yogurt and milk is 300 calories. Blueberries are around 80 a cup.

    So there's just no real way you're getting a smoothie that size under 200 calories.
