Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness is a vibrant, pre-made fruit and vegetable smoothie with a smooth, drinkable texture and a sweet-tart, slightly earthy flavor from its blend of apple, pineapple, mango, spinach, and kale. It's a low-calorie, nutrient-dense option, packing a notable amount of vitamin A and vitamin C per serving while being virtually fat-free. The sweetness comes primarily from fruit sugars, making it a refreshing, plant-forward pick-me-up.

↓ Full nutrition💚 Why it's loved
People love it for its surprisingly palatable, fruity taste that masks the greens, making it an easy and delicious way to get a serving of vegetables. It's also valued as a convenient, grab-and-go breakfast or snack that feels both indulgent and virtuous.
⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The high natural sugar content (over 11g per 100g) can cause a rapid blood sugar spike, especially on an empty stomach. To counteract this, pair it with a source of protein or healthy fat, like a handful of nuts or a hard-boiled egg, to slow sugar absorption. Those monitoring oxalate intake (e.g., with a history of certain kidney stones) should also be mindful, as spinach and kale are higher-oxalate greens.
Key benefits
- Excellent source of Vitamins A & C
- Very low in fat and calories
- Contains a blend of leafy greens (spinach, kale)

FAQ
Is Green Goodness a juice or a smoothie?
It's classified as a smoothie because it retains the fiber from the whole fruits and vegetables used, unlike a juice which extracts only the liquid.
Does it contain added sugars?
The nutrition label lists 11.46g of sugar per 100g, which primarily comes from the natural sugars in the fruit ingredients like apple and pineapple. It does not list added sugars like high-fructose corn syrup.
Is it pasteurized? Do I need to keep it refrigerated?
Yes, it is a refrigerated, pasteurized product. You must keep it refrigerated before and after opening and consume it within a few days for best quality and safety.
