Are Odwalla and Naked smoothie juices healthy by them being pasteurized?!


Question: Are Odwalla and Naked smoothie juices healthy by them being pasteurized?
Of course well all know pasteurization takes out some of the nutrients. So how good are those juices for you? I'm starting a new lunch. One bag of Germack snack mixes will last me 2 days. Half bag of that and a smoothie and I'm good for the day. So are they really healthy? I'm sure they're a lot healthier than any other "juice" on the market, besides other known healthy juices. But are they really worth the $3.50?

Answers:

Because they are all natural fruit and have most or in some cases more vitamins that you need in a day, they are good for you. Because of the natural sugars in fruit, they do have sugar. Sugar is only a problem when it is refined/processed and when we eat so much that we cannot expend the energy. If all you are eating is that and some fruit/nut mix I can't imagine that you won't be burning off more than enough energy--even if you are just sitting at a desk all day. If you are doing something more labor intensive, you might want to consider adding some brown rice or bread to that meal.

Anyway--is it worth the cost--that's kinda up to you. I think its a little too pricey for me--if you really want smoothies you could probably buy $10 worth of fruit and make enough in a blender at home for a whole week and just bring a jar or canteen with a bit of it every day and keep the rest in the fridge or freezer--that would cost about 1/2 the price--and you wouldn't have all of those plastic bottles to toss out.



They are full of sugar.
