Chance Miller, co-owner of Smoothie King on University Avenue, said the store's smoothies are healthy and have no additives or preservatives. Smoothie King offers extra items such as ginseng, lecithin, high energy powder, spirulina and protein powder. Everyone's chemical makeup is different. Our items have no side effects, unless you overdose on the items. Miller said students can use the smoothies as a supplement to meals because they are high in nutritional value and low in fat.
Students eat one or two meals a day and have two smoothies.
A lot of students' nutritional habits get neglected. It wouldn't hurt as a supplement, but they still need antioxidants and fiber found in fruits and vegetables. But Bobroff said students need to be cautious. Wildlife ecology senior Eric Nagid, an employee at Colorado Smoothies on University Avenue, said Colorado Smoothies can add wheat germ and protein powder to its smoothies. I think it's harmless.
