The Secret Immune-Boosting Smoothie You Should Be Ordering at Starbucks

First, grab a bottle of Evolution Fresh's cold-pressed Defense Up drink from the self-service fridge. Then take it to the barista and ask to have it blended with banana and ice. That's it—you've got yourself a cold-fighting, potassium-filled, Vitamin C-packed smoothie.

The downside to this menu hack is that the pumped-up juice comes with some baggage, in the form of 27 grams of sugar. While it's not a unicorn frappe-level sugar-bomb (yes, the Insta-obsession packed a whopping 59 grams), it's not quite in the healthy snack zone, either.
