Smoothie King unveils lean meal-replacement drink

Much of the attention in the food world today has been focused on McDonald’s slimming down its Kids’ Meals. And make no mistake, this is a significant step by the fast-food giant in the battle against childhood obesity.

But the Golden Arches is not the only food service player making a move to the lean side this week. Beginning Wednesday, Smoothie King rolls out a new smoothie formulated to help in weight loss.

According to promotional material, this new Lean 1 smoothie is a meal replacement drink; each of the three roll-out flavors — chocolate, strawberry and vanilla – is under 300 calories, and delivers a whopping 20 to 30 grams of protein per 20-ounce serving.

“We’re very excited about it,” says Jerry McGrath, owner of Ocala’s Smoothie King outlet at the corner of Southwest College Road and 27th Avenue. “I had one of these for breakfast and another for lunch with a regular meal at dinner, and lost four and a half pounds in a week.”

His daughter Kelly Kilcrease, who runs the outlet, says the new Lean 1 smoothie has been offered here in Ocala for about two weeks already in a quiet pre-rollout. “It’s been very popular,” she says. Adds dad: “It’s been a top seller here since we introduced it.”

During a six-month test run in Jacksonville not long ago, the Lean 1 smoothie was the No. 2 best seller, he adds.

To help launch the new smoothie, through Aug. 14 the chain based in New Orleans is offering the Lean 1 for only $1.99. But you do need a coupon to get that price; it’s easily printed at www.smoothieking.com/leanonus . And according to the press release emailed to me, tomorrow only — that’s Wednesday — this new smoothie is available for just $1.

According to the release, Smoothie King founder and CEO Steve Kuhnau says: “We saw a need in the market for on-the-go products that satisfy health-concious consumers. With the Lean 1 smoothies we are providing our fans a way to get the powerful nutrients they need to get fit, in an accessible, convenient way.”

Both McGrath and Kilcrease says the new drink — which is as smooth as a smoothie can be — contains a blend of 17 fruits and veggies, raw almonds, banana and omega-3 fatty acids. It also contains hoodia, a South African cactus that’s supposed to help suppress appetites.

Nano Go Will It Help Weight Loss?

, The science of creating microscopic machines and molecules that – in this case – can improve some aspect of health. What is Nano Go and does it really harness the power of nanotech? And what’s up with Smoothie King selling weight loss supplements?  Let’s take a look at Nano Go and see if we can figure this out.

Where is Nano Go located?

Nano Go Nutraceuticals, founded 1994 by Shawn Cotton is located in in Batton Rouge LA. It’s hard to find the Nano Go company address if you search for “Nano Go”.

Nano Go is actually a product sold by the company Canyon World Quest

 

Nano Go Supplements

There are actually a few Nano Go supplements. On the Nano Go website – Nano-Go.com – I see that they have the following products:

Weight loss and energy supplement Appetite control supplement Colon cleanse supplement

 

My advice is to bypass  the colon cleanse supplement. It has senna which is a strong laxative. It also has psylium which is just a fiber and natural laxative.

You may remember that senna was also found in Bob Harpers 7 Day  cleanse supplement and the Chinese weight loss product Zi Xiu Tang .

 

If they really are different products, my hunch is that they probably differ in the amount of stimulants they contain.

The following Nano Go ingredients are all stimulants Green tea extract (it has caffeine) Caffeine Citrus Aurantium (ephedra look alike compound) Synephrine Caprylate (ephedra look alike compound) Yohimbine HCL (stimulant-like effects) phnylethylamine (maybe)

 

Both citrus aurantium and synephrine caprylate

People with health conditions should use yohimbine with caution. Some of the health conditions that may be exacerbated by yohimbine include:

Heart disease High blood pressure Diabetes Mood issues (depression, anxiety ect) Liver or kidney problems Enlarged prostate (BPH)

 

Bodybuliders sometimes take Yohimbie but it can be dangerous in them also. Yohimbie can interact with many drugs people take.

 

Smoothie King and weight loss supplements

Smoothie King adds Nano Go to your smoothie if you ask them to. 

But, is there any proof that Nano Go weight loss smoothies work? If you do a web search, you will find people who say it has worked.
