    What She's Drinking ... for Lunch

    Jamba Juice Original (24 ounces) Aloha Pineapple Smoothie (410 calories, 1.5 g fat)

    "I have a smoothie almost every day for lunch."

    Sip it smarter: Jamba Juice 16 oz Apple 'n Greens Smoothie (220 calories, 1 g fat)

    News flash: This lunch has as much sugar-91 grams-as three Snickers. We applaud the high-fiber fruit and calcium-rich yogurt, but sherbet adds mega sugar, and the shake falls too short on protein to make a balanced lunch. Swap it for the Apple 'n Greens for 2 g more fiber , thanks to extra fruit (mango, peach) and veg (spinach, kale ). Pair it with 1 oz protein-packed nuts for a complete lunch.

    You save: 190 calories, 51 g sugar

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
