The Best (and Worst) Fruits to Put in Your Smoothie

November 25, 2015 2 min read

Any fitness buff can tell you, smoothies are a great way to boost your intake of nutrient-rich fruit. They are especially handy meal options in the morning before you bust out that early workout. But, a smoothie is only as useful as its ingredients. Knowing which fruit to add can spell the difference between fat-burning booster or blood sugar disaster! Know the difference!

The good fruit

Strawberries: Despite their fabulous taste, strawberries only contain 5 grams of sugar per 100 grams of fruit. They also contain polyphenols which are useful in regulating blood sugar, preventing massive spikes that can lead to storing fat. Blueberries: Blueberries are incredible little powerhouses. They contain pterostilbene which helps the body break down brown fat. And like strawberries, they have a shockingly low sugar content. Just 7.3 grams per 100 grams of fruit.

The half-decent fruit

Raspberries: Raspberries contain calcium which makes them good little metabolism boosters. As for the sugar, they come in at 9.5 grams per 100 grams. Kiwi Fruit: Kiwi has its benefits since they are full of vitamin C and fiber but it is best to use them in small amounts since they contain 10.5 grams of sugar per 100 grams.

The bad fruit

Grapes: Grapes are sweet and delicious so it shouldn't shock you that they are full of sugar. They have 15 grams of it per 100 gram serving. But, not to put an entirely negative spin on things, they do contain a large amount of bone boosting vitamin K. Mangoes: While super yummy and a great source of vitamins A and C, they are an absolute sugar nightmare. With 18 grams per 100 gram serving, it is important to use them very sparingly. Do you feel more confident now in your smoothie making expertise?

Shipping & Delivery

Due to COVID-19, shipping systems the world over are experiencing abnormal delays. There is an enormous demand on postal and delivery services as online shopping has skyrocketed, due to store closures and stay-at-home mandates. This is an unprecedented situation, and we are working around the clock to fulfill your orders as quickly as possible. To be clear, we are filling orders in 4-6 days, and we are shipping immediately after that. Once shipped, our shipping partner, UPS, will get your order out to you as quickly as possible. Thanks for your support and understanding.

Are you in Canada? Specifically, are you outside of a metropolitan centre? We need to alert you to a disruption in shipping due to COVID-19. Our preferred shipping provider, UPS, has informed us that they cannot guarantee express shipping for many locations. We have also seen that packages delivered to Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, etc, are not waylaid, but packages delivered to areas just outside of these cities are being held in transit for days or even weeks. UPS has discontinued their guarantee of 1-4 day delivery, which you can read more about here. Therefore, we can guarantee early fulfillment but not early delivery of our goods from our warehouse to your door at this time.

We want you to start your fitness journey with us as quickly as possible, that’s why we send every package to the USA & Canada via expedited or standard shipping with our partners at UPS. Once your order is received and processed, it typically takes 2-4 days to get to you once it leaves our warehouse. That’s our commitment and we stand by it.

We ship within Canada and the United States via UPS with Standard & Expedited shipping (whichever is faster)

For locations outside of the US and Canada, we ship using FedEx International (EUROPE and Other Nations), which is usually in transit for 7-10 business days, depending on location.

We ship all of our physical products with UPS, from our warehouse location in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Delays caused due to custom withholds are not included in these estimated delivery times.

Returns & Exchanges

BodyRock Equipment

We offer a 30-day return policy, as long as: it is not more than 30 days past the date of delivery; and your item is in its original condition and packaging with the original order number.

To request a refund on physical product purchases, please contact us.

Digital Products

We cannot issue refunds on digital goods such as e-books or videos, as these are non-tangible goods that are irrevocable once the order is placed.
