I’m a freshman in high school and I drink a 16 oz. smoothie everday for lunch only. Is that good for me?

I take smoothies once a day. I’ve read an article someday that says “One smoothies a day, takes a doctor away” I enjoy having smoothies during the afternoon.

I’m a nturopathic nutritionist and I see smoothies as the way to get essential nutrients into the bodies of myself and my clients. My smoothies contain 200ml low-fat soy or rice milk, 2 tsp flaxseed oil, 2 tsp odourless fish oil (citrus/berry flavour), 1 tsp chia seeds, 2 tsp Acai berry powder, 1 scoop any low carb whey protein powder, 1 tblsp low fat yoghurt,1/2 cup frozen berries. This is an extremely nutritious protein packed, omega 3 enriched, probiotic and antioxidant rich powerhouse breakfast. If there is xylitol in your whey protein powder it is also beneficial for your teeth.

i use all-natural plain yogurt, frozen fruits, soy milk, and bananas…sometimes I throw in a carrot or celery or whatever other veges I have. :3 my mom bought me a blender two months ago, and now i make smoothies almost every day — thank you so much mom!!!
Smoothies are awesome, although I find this article misleading: Smoothies are most likely MORE healthy for you than whole fruit because they are easier for the body to process. Also, making a smoothie is far more work than simply eating fruits and vegetables in their original form — Thus, you are incorrect.

I just started making smoothies to get all my healthy stuff. Here is what I put in mine: spinach leaves, frozen mixed berries, Greek yogurt, ice and calcium fortified orange juice. Yum!

Is there something different about blended fruit that makes it less beneficial? I just use fruit and water in my smoothies, so there’s not really any added anything. And I do use a straw, but I’ll be more careful about it from now on.

I make smoothies after I go for a long walk on hot summer days like today. I just toss some frozen organic berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and raspberries-plus whatever fruit I have that looks like it won’t keep for another day) and vanilla soymilk in the blender and voila! Delicious, healthy and COLD meal.

I don’t understand why a fruit smoothie you make yourself at home would be any better or worse than eating the fruit in its whole state. I just use all fruit and ice, so why would that have a higher sugar content than whole fruit? I have to agree with Bass-O, here. If you’re making it with whole, washed fruits, it’s just as healthy.

I’d like to see stuff to back up otherwise, because it’d be really interesting to understand why.
