Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Fruit smoothie, begin by separating “Fruit smoothie, bottled” from “Fruit smoothie, with whole fruit, non-dairy.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 7 named USDA records in view: 7 direct matches. All sit within “Smoothies and grain drinks.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first description segment” placed these 7 records together under the exact grouping key “fruit smoothie.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Fruit smoothie, this page can compare 7 named records from FDC 2709339 through FDC 2709336. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

248–324 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.3× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

29 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “bottled”; the higher is “with whole fruit and dairy, added protein.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

6.9 g protein gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “bottled” (0.5 g) and “with whole fruit and dairy, added protein” (7.4 g).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every fruit smoothie.

Important: “Lower” begins with Fruit smoothie, bottled; “higher” ends with Fruit smoothie, with whole fruit and dairy, added protein, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every fruit smoothie meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Fruit smoothie, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 248 to 324 grams—a 76-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 124 calories for “bottled” to 256 for “with whole fruit and dairy, added protein.” At a fixed 100 grams, “bottled” is 50 calories and “with whole fruit and dairy, added protein” is 79—a fixed-weight separation of 29 calories. For Fruit smoothie, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “bottled”, “with whole fruit and dairy”, “with whole fruit and dairy, added protein”, “with whole fruit, no dairy, added protein”, and “with whole fruit, non-dairy”. The source formulations contain 12 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include blueberries, frozen, unsweetened (includes foods for usda's food distribution program), strawberries, frozen, unsweetened (includes foods for usda's food distribution program), bananas, ripe and slightly ripe, raw, and beverages, protein powder whey based. On this Fruit smoothie page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Fruit smoothie” cannot resolve the differences between Fruit smoothie, bottled and Fruit smoothie, with whole fruit, non-dairy. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 248–324 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “bottled”, “with whole fruit and dairy”, “with whole fruit and dairy, added protein”, “with whole fruit, no dairy, added protein”, and “with whole fruit, non-dairy”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    12 source-input codes appear across the selected records. Their presence and listed weights describe USDA formulations, not finished plated proportions.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Fruit smoothie, bottled” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Fruit smoothie unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that fruit smoothie is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“bottled”, “with whole fruit and dairy”, “with whole fruit, no dairy”, and “with whole fruit, non-dairy”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Fruit smoothie source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 7 exact records behind Fruit smoothie source-record guide. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Fruit smoothie, with whole fruit and dairy, added protein is higher in sodium per 100 g

Fruit smoothie, with whole fruit and dairy, added protein reports 40 mg versus 2 mg for Fruit smoothie, bottled: a 38 mg difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

Check the weight before comparing serving totals

Source amounts span 248–324 g

Fruit smoothie, bottled uses USDA source amount (248 g), while Fruit smoothie, with whole fruit, non-dairy uses USDA source amount (324 g). Use per 100 g for equal-weight composition; use the serving column only when those named source amounts answer your question.

Record identity is part of the estimate

Distinguish “Fruit smoothie, bottled” from “Fruit smoothie, with whole fruit, non-dairy”

These are separate USDA records with separate formulations or survey descriptions. Match preparation, additions, and the named household amount before borrowing either record’s nutrients.
