Ben & Jerry's "250 calorie" smoothies??

Does anyone know the actual content of the Ben and Jerry's smoothies (Berry Creme)? I thought this information would be available through their website, but I'm only finding actual ice creams and such. I'm a little annoyed because they advertise as 250 calories or less... then in small print (per serving). I have no idea what they consider a serving and I don't think they should be advertising that info without clearly stating what a serving is!

Just a little rant, but if anyone knows the actual amounts: calories and carbs especially, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks :)

    i found this on one site

    PITTSBURGH -- Ben & Jerry's franchisee BAA Pittsburgh Inc. debuted the first Ben & Jerry's Smoothies store, at the Pittsburgh International Airport here. The owner of the 202-square-foot outlet is Bill Newlin Jr., who also operates two Ben & Jena's scoop shops at the airport.

    The smoothies combine fruit, juice and the South Burlington, Vt.-based ice-cream chain's low-fat frozen yogurt in various flavors. A 22-ounce smoothie is $4.59.

    and this on another

    Berry Cream Smoothie (Ben & Jerry's)
    Serving Size: 1 Smoothie, Calories: 250, Fat: 25g, Carbs: 28g, Protein: 6g

    Omg!!! I just left the mall and I saw Ben and Jerry's, but I decided I wasn't going to go inside because I was afraid they wouldn't have the correct calorie count. I went to the frozen yogurt shop instead and for every 3oz of yogurt it was 90 calories.

    good for you for going with the simple frozen yogurt route! I don't believe their 250 cal claim because 1 scoop of the frozen yogurt is about 140 or so and I know she put in more than one! Plus the fruit juice and fruit... there is no way it's 250
