    Well it’s good thing that not a single source I could find seems to agree with you or maybe I’d worry! The hell do you think chewing is?

    Blending a smoothie is perfectly fine and does not hurt the nutrients at all.

      it destroys the fiber benefits and makes the fruit essentially a form of processed sugar.

      Chewing is different to blending

      it also depends - are you making these yourself fresh or are you buying them? If buying them they are likely pasteurized and homogenized which removes nutrients.

      Which may be irrelevant for you, but also for a casual reader any given smoothie does not automatically mean healthy. Like how eating a salad is not necessarily healthy if it’s drowned in Bleu cheese, nuts, cheese cubes, dried fruit and croutons.

        Do you have a source because it really does not destroy the fibre unless you’re doing an incredible fine grind which a blender simply is not capable of, certainly for the 10-20s it takes to make a smoothie. You’ll need a source on this.

        Nuts aren’t unhealthy seriously what are you talking about? A bunch of extreme examples that never really happen?
