It is true that the amount of nutrients in a smoothie is unchanged relative to the whole counterparts. However, I'm willing to bet that the blood glucose response curve of a smoothie is significantly sharper than the whole fruit alternatives due to the ease of digestion.

The peaks in blood glucose are what's really bad for you, and especially bad for me. Therefore, I look out for them and stay the hell away.

Smoothies were one of our model foods in medical school for what's wrong with the American diet.

Blast, I just picked 30 cups of blueberries to freeze for smoothies. Is it really so bad?
