SSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO annoyed . . . .
Very silly reason, and it is my fault partly for not reading.
I was on the message boards and someone posted that they tried Hood's Calorie Countdown FF dairy bevarage (it is a milk replacement that is 45 calories per cup.) She said that 3 WW leaders told her that using it in her WW smoothies would give her 2 dairy servings and would only be two points for the smoothie. FINE. GREAT. SOUNDS WONDERFUL.
I find it, I buy it for $4.19 and use it. Worked out fine in the WW smoothie UNTIL I READ THE FINE PRINT
*One cup of this beverage is equal to 1/2 FF milk exchange.
SO, it is NOT TRUE that 1 cup of this is a full dairy serving!
LESSONS LEARNED:
1) READ THE FINE PRINT
2) JUST because they are WW leaders does not mean they know EVERYTHING
TY, Vent Over

Re: SSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO annoyed . . . .
So it's only 1.5 if they would even calculate it like that...
You're better off sticking with 1% milk!
ETA: What does it say in the Nutritional Info about % of Calcium? Is it 25% or greater?

If it's 30% calcium for 1 cup...it's consider a full dairy serving in WW land.
So they are right then....it's 2 full servings. One for the milk and one for the WW smoothie mix.
ETS: 1 cup

It's 30% calcium for 1 full cup, not in half a cup

Right (corrected above )....so according to the NI you posted it's 1 pt per cup. 1 cup has 30% calcium...that's 1 dairy serving.
PLUS the WW Smoothie mix has 1 full dairy serving...so 2pt, 2 dairy servings!
I'm going to have to run out and get this stuff!
