GNC Smoothie Bar

KahunaBob · 09-11-2002, 01:01 PM

A new GNC near me just opened with a "Smoothie Bar"

I didn't try it, cuz it looks like they're loaded with Calories, Carbs and Sugar!

... and the "Sports Nutrition" Smoothie cost $4.49 for 32 oz.

Here's a sample....
the "Post Pump" - A powerful blue raspberry flavor with creatine, glutamine, taurine and GNC Whey Protein.
430cal/4 fat/52 carbs/21.5 protein

or how 'bout this one......
"More Gain Than Pain" - Pro performance Weight Gainer 2200 with skim milk (choc, straw or vanilla).
a whopping 660cal/2.5fat/111carbs/24protein.

Ouch!

Anyone care to "Whey in" (PUN intended)
(DP, W8 and David fer sure)

Dang!! isn't the carbs on those drinks kinda high?? The "more gain than pain" drink sounds like the only thing you'd gain is a belly.

I wouldn't touch them, lol......as always, you can make the same type of shake at home and you have the ability to control what goes in it....and that's always better!

As much as 20% of some peoples daily caloric intake, yet sh!t for protein.

Those things are totally unnecessary. Why not just use protein powder with ice cream, milk, dextrose, strawberries etc and you can pretty much have the same thing for a lot cheaper and you KNOW what exactly is in the shake.

**Mudge** · 09-11-2002, 08:52 PM

Yep, I could get just as fat at home, AND save money!

Smoothies at GNC are all good for you. However, you the buyer must be smart about which one you pick. If you're not smart enough to pick the one that suits your body's needs, then that's on you. The smoothies you mentioned are for people that work out a lot and want to build up their muscle mass. Thus, the need for the extra calories. Look at the ingredients and nutrional facts before buying and be a smart shopper. The creatine and protiens are for people wanting to build muscles. Thus the extra calories. Dumbass. GNC has all the nutrional facts available to you on the same board that shows the smoothies. Look at that, make your choice, and if it is not a good choice, that's your problem. Not everything in this world is going to suit your needs specifically. YOU have to be smart about what you put into your body. Don't expect eveyone else to do it for you. Some things are going to have more calories and sugars than others. Some people need those extra things. Not everyone in the US is fat, contrary to popular belief. I myself need to gain a few pounds and for some people that's a hard feat to accomplish. In conclusion, if you don't like the smoothies, that's fine, but to not try them because of the high calories and to tell other people not to try them because they're not good for you is just ignorant. They can be good for someone else. Of course those people would be just stupid to listen to a dumbass like you.
