We Didn't Forget About Drinks...
Coconut water, 1 cup—6.26 grams, compared to, well, zero in regular water.
Bottled green teas, 1 bottle—up to 30 grams versus 40 to 45 grams in a can of root beer.
Bottled green juices, 1 cup—around 14.5 grams.
Store-bought smoothies, 1 cup—around 23 grams, far more than this vegetable-based smoothie you can make at home.
Sweetened almond milk, 1 cup—up to 14 grams of sugar.
