The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 288 calories for USDA reference amount at 324 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 89 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 8.9 g protein, 9.1 g fiber, and 123 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is milk, nfs, representing 46.2% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.

The reference amount and 1 cup answer different portion questions. Their values are scaled independently from the same per-100-gram source record.

The household measures attached to this record span roughly 24–961 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.

Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.

Record-specific decision brief

What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you

This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2710152: “Vegetable smoothie.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.

01 · Portion arithmetic

Three weights, one fixed composition

For FDC 2710152, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 fl oz” through “1 large” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2710152’s 324 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.

Strength-side signals

Dietary fiber9.1 g

≈ 32% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Vitamin C26 mg

≈ 29% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Tradeoff-side signals

Saturated fat4.5 g

≈ 23% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Sodium123 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Vegetable smoothie,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2710146 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 fl oz to 1 large

    USDA assigns those measures 27 g and 1,080 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 24 kcal to 961 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2710146

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 5.9 g more total fat than “Fruit and vegetable smoothie, with dairy.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Milk, NFS

    The source formulation has 3 input rows; Milk, NFS supplies 46.2% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when the exact wording “Vegetable smoothie” fits. Inspect FDC 2710146 when “with dairy” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2710152 to 3 source inputs totaling 312 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Vegetable smoothie” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

3 listed components

The largest listed inputs by source weight are Milk, NFS, Avocados, raw, all commercial varieties, Spinach, baby. The order and weights below come from the standardized USDA formulation, so they offer context for this exact database entry.

312 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
  • NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2710152, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Smoothies and grain drinks” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 25 more calories, 1.2 g more protein, and 6.9 g less carbohydrate than “Fruit and vegetable smoothie, with dairy.”

Only this record lists Avocados, raw, all commercial varieties. Only the comparison record lists Bananas, ripe and slightly ripe, raw; Orange juice, 100%, NFS. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

5 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.

Formulation evidence

The listed formulations differ

The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.

Shared listed inputs: Spinach, baby; Milk, NFS.

Listed only in this record: Avocados, raw, all commercial varieties.

Listed only in the comparison: Bananas, ripe and slightly ripe, raw; Orange juice, 100%, NFS.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets match

This record’s reference amount is 324 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (216 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 324 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (216 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2710152 with FDC 2710146 at equal mass; use their 324 g and 324 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2710152 versus FDC 2710146 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable

What can change this estimate?

This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with drink size, recipe or formulation, milk or cream, sweeteners and add-ins.

For “Vegetable smoothie,” resolve drink size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    drink size

    Resolve drink size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.

  2. 02

    recipe or formulation

    Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.

  3. 03

    milk or cream

    Identify the liquid base and fat level when you can. Dairy, plant-based beverages, cream, and water are different record choices—not interchangeable volume adjustments.

  4. 04

    sweeteners and add-ins

    Use a label or known recipe when available, because sweetness does not reveal dose. Keep syrups, sugars, and concentrated add-ins separate when the base record does not name them.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2710152 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 89 kcal per 100 g becomes 288 kcal at 324 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.

About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” We display it as a USDA reference amount because it is a database comparison point—not a suggested portion or a claim about what most people should eat.

Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024

FoodData Central ID: 2710152

FNDDS food code: 78101130

The scaling for FDC 2710152 can be exact while the match to “Vegetable smoothie” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 324 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
