If you're a fan of smoothies and happen to have a Smoothie King location nearby (check here to find out), you might be happy to know that a new treat has been added to the smoothie line-up: The Berry Stimulating Maté.

Made up of a combination of blackberry, strawberry, blueberry, Guayaki organic yerba maté, turbinado (save on calories and carbs and make your smoothie skinny by leaving this ingredient out) and nonfat milk, this smoothie is sure to please. Yerba maté (pronounced YER-ba MA-tay) boasts a host of health attributes -- it aids in weight control and digestion, increases metabolism, induces mental clarity, sustains energy, and lessens the effects of allergies and diabetes.

I love smoothies because in the middle of the day when I am really not that hungary but I know I need something, I can have a smoothie and it will tie me over till dinner. That way I am not starving myself of nutrients I need.

What's not to love about a smoothie? You can get nearly a full day's serving of fruit in one big, slushy treat. You can skimp on the fruit and add more yogurt or protein powder, creating a more shake-like smoothie. Heck, I add spinach to mine -- tasteless, and you get the extra fiber and calcium boost. Smoothies are so versatile, and can be adapted to every person's individual taste buds. They can serve as an entire meal or just a snack. Too bad so many smoothie joints overload their smoothies with so much sugar and unnecessary add-ins (pb, granola, chocolate chips....who needs a 1100 calorie smoothie?!). This new Smoothie King concoction sounds yummy.
Now if they only mixed in some spinach... ;-)
