What goes into the smoothies at WDW?

[Golf4food]

DW and I drink healthy smoothies for breakfast most mornings - all natural, nothing but fruit and natural fruit juice, no added sugars or chemicals, etc.

The menus never really specify what exactly WDW uses to make their fruit smoothies. Does anyone know? Are they full of extra sugar? Chemicals? Not the ones that the description obviously makes it clear that they are not healthy, but the ones that could go either way and only say strawberry smoothie or strawberry-banana, etc.

Bump for the night crowd.

No idea. Disney doesn't usually disclose ingredients, but they do have a book they keep detailing items that might trigger food allergies. The only thing I could think of is to ask a cast member if they use a base, if the base lists any chemicals or preservatives.

Worse case scenario is that they don't have any label info to share. Best case scenario is that they use all natural ingredients fresh to order. I've never seen this question come up before.

I've found that most are produced using commercial cartoned mix (similar to what they use at Jack in the Box, for example) which is added along with a measure of fruit to softserve frozen yogurt, and blended. Yes, there is real fruit in them, but yes, there is a considerable amount of added sugar/corn syrup. (As a type-I diabetic I ask lots of these sort of questions).

Good to know. I wonder if they'd make one with just fruit and yogurt? I'll have to ask and report back. We aren't avoiding diabetis but it does run in my family and is one of the big reasons we are trying to eat healthy now while I'm 30 so that I don't have diabetis when I'm in my 50s like my father.
