College Juice/Shake Bar, Healthy Or Unhealthy?

They put it by the gym. Right outside. It reads "Fuel up" and promotes Fruit Shakes, Replacement Meal Shakes, and Energy Shakes. They range from a Trail Mix to a Chocolate Frosty to what I had today which was a Black and Tan Chai Replacement Meal Shake. At 5.29, the ingredients list is filled with whey protein, both chocolate and vanilla and I chose to have it made with soy milk. They do not list nutritional values. It's 16oz and I split it with someone, so it should be around 8 ounces. The issue is I have NO idea how many calories is in something like this, nor how to catalogue it. I feel like the place itself is decieving

See if they have a website, or ask for a nutritional guide or ingredients/cal count. Sounds like a great idea but kind of stupid since their customers will no doubt be counting calories and want to know this info. If they can't provide this then perhaps you should compare it to Jamba Juice or similar to get an idea of calorie count and how to input it in MFP.

Since its at the college, I'm guessing its probably staffed by students. You can probably get one to let you see the ingredients and copy the nutritional info off the backs of the tubs. You'll have to add it up yourself, but I know when I worked the campus coffee shop, we were totally cool with letting students (well the 2 of them) who cared about the nutritional content see the labels.
