8 out of 10 Jamba Juice Original Size Classic drinks have more calories than a Quarter Pounder and other stunners around the skinny-sphere

• 8 out of 10 Original size (24oz- the "medium" size) Jamba Juice Classic drinks like Mango-a-go-go, Banana Berry, and Razzmatazz have more calories than a McDonald's Quarter Pounder with no cheese which weighs in at 410 calories. That's right! The worst of the bunch is Strawberry Surf Rider at 490 calories and 107g of sugar which is the equivalent of the amount of sugar grams in 3-1/3 Snickers candy bars. So, sugar from fruit is different than from candy bars, but still, too much of any sugar is not going to make that muffin top go away. The Quarter Pounder loses in the fat grams war coming in at 19g compared to Jambas which most fall under 2g at the 24oz size.
