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 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 make smoothies after I go for a long walk on hot summer days like today.

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.

Yes they are healthy for you but they have to be made with fresh ingredients. If you are using juice, try to find non-pasturized (Dewlands, if possible). Add Hemp Seed nut and ground cinnamon for a better experience. I've been a daily maker and smoothie freak for years and also made them fresh when I had a restaurant. It's also important to wash your fruits. Ha… Yes they are healthy for you but they have to be made with fresh ingredients. If you are using juice, try to find non-pasturized (Dewlands, if possible).

The ones you buy in shops often have been processed and filtered containing a higher percentage of sugar and a lower percentage of fiber than natural fruits.
