It’s been months since I’ve had a Jamba Juice, and when I spotted this picture of Rachel Bilson drinking an orangey bev (or at least holding one), I started having withdrawal symptoms. Since everyone but me is guzzling the beloved smoothies—Jamba may be second only to Starbucks in paparazzi cameo appearances—here’s a rundown of the damage they can do.

The light flavors are still loaded with sugary calories; the rest are just obscene. One hundred grams of sugar?! I feel like I owe myself an apology. On the upside, most of the drinks pack your entire RDA of vitamins A and C, which is a plus for anyone whose typical veggie consumption consists of the lettuce on their cheeseburger.

More than anything, I’m amazed that Rachel Bilson—and fellow Jamba devotees Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton, Kate Hudson, and Mischa Barton—can knock back 400 liquid calories at a time and still keep their weight under the triple-digit mark. Then again, I suspect they don't exactly bookend their smoothies with lunch and dinner.
