Smoothie vs Plate
I’m new here, and this is my first question on the forum.
My wife and I are trying to get our nutrition organized in our venture into vegetarian eating. We start each day with a smoothie we put together in a high powered blender. We don’t use fruit juice or added sugar.
I was wondering if it were better to eat the vegetables and fruits whole, or is it the same as having it in a smoothie. It is much easier in the smoothie, that’s for sure. The reason I ask is that I read somewhere that the blender can mess with the nutrients as it cuts up all the cells in the vegetables and fruits, leaving nothing for the gut bacterial flora.
Thanks,
Fed
