Coca-Cola isn't the only food sponsor to make a big splash at this year's Winter Games in Vancouver — so is McDonald's.
Debuting today at the three McDonald's Olympic restaurants are the chain's latest menu offering: Real Fruit Smoothies. The brand-new smoothies come in two flavors, Strawberry Banana and Wild Berry, and they are set to roll out across stores in the US this Summer as part of the McCafé lineup.
I applaud that McDonald's is hoping to inject some wholesomeness into its nutritionally challenged menu — although to be honest, I'm more curious about McDonald's Canada's Olympic-themed menu of S'mores Pie and Creme Brulée McFlurries. Would you be inclined to head to the Golden Arches for a fruit smoothie?

kudos for "real fruit", but I'm wary about what the sugar and calorie content will actually be.
1I agree!
2I work across the street from a McDonalds so if the calories and sugar are in check then I will def be trying these!!
3I applaud the "real fruit" idea, but doesn't the US deserve Creme Brulee McFlurries?
4I would love to try the Creme Brulee McFlurrie.
5Meh, it's McDonald's. I'm sure they'll find a way to make them gross; they've already ruined everything else they try to make. No thanks.
6What the hey?! I want smores pie and creme brulee mcflurries!!
Yes, I will try the smoothies when they come out. There McCafe was a bust so maybe this will reclaim them a bit for me...
7The sugar content might be a scary amount.
8I was also hesitant to try these smoothies. I found both of them delicious. If anyone is worried about calories, these smoothies are made with real fruit. Your body processes natural sugars differently so these smoothies are a little healthier than most out there!
9Ok, but "made with real fruit" doesn't mean that's all that is in there! I would like to see an ingredients list!
