Danimals Strawberry Explosion Smoothie: 10g added sugar per 1 bottle (3.1 fl oz). Sugar Tier E.

Short answer: Danimals Danimals Strawberry Explosion Smoothie contains 10g of added sugar per 1 bottle (3.1 fl oz) — about 40% of a child’s daily 25 g American Heart Association added-sugar limit. Tier E in our Sugar Tier System.

The verdict

Danimals smoothies carry 10g of added sugar per small bottle — about 40% of a child's daily 25g AHA allowance in a single 3.1oz serving marketed straight at kids. The cartoon branding and "made with real fruit and yogurt" framing mask a product that's closer to a dessert drink than a yogurt. Plain whole-milk yogurt (0g added sugar) with fresh fruit does everything Danimals claims to, without the sugar. Tier E.
