Frequently Asked Questions
Are smoothies better than whole fruit?+
Whole fruit is generally better because it retains all fiber and takes longer to digest, but smoothies are a great way to consume multiple servings of produce at once.
Can smoothies help with weight loss?+
Yes, if they are balanced with protein and fiber to keep you full, but high-calorie smoothies with lots of sugar can hinder weight loss.
How can I reduce the sugar in my smoothie?+
Use more vegetables (like cucumber or spinach) and fewer high-sugar fruits, and avoid adding fruit juices or honey.
