🤦♀️. It’s all going in and out the same way.
Is he lying or really misinformed?
Yes girl!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks, Abbey! I have gastroparesis and smoothies are my friend.😊
i was considering buying a blender to make smoothies and this might have just convinced me 🥲
Hi Abbey! Is this true for nuts, as well?
Thank you Abbey! I’ve been blending instead of juicing for the past 10 years. I’ve invested in an expensive blender from a certain source a lot of us shop at (I won’t name)and it was the best $800 I have ever spent. Will never go back to juicing. I’ve been adding nuts and other seeds, carrots, celery, etc….as well to my blended smoothies. Delicious and highly nutritious❤️
Weight Watchers has always demonized blending or freeze drying fruit
Interesting. I wonder if this is due to the idea that reducing liquid calories can be beneficial for weight loss
I think it’s just from a calorie perspective because fruits are zero points so if you make blended fruit also zero points, you could get away with blending so much fruit that you wouldn’t possibly be able to eat normally and thus it no longer can be logically treated as a “zero point food” because it would greatly interfere with weight loss and make the program fall through for someone.
That’s stupid
I thought when you blend fruit, it pulverizes the fiber and makes it less effective in mitigating blood sugar spikes –kind of turns it into sugar juice? I wouldn’t have something like that first thing in the morning, regardless. It sends my hunger into orbit for the rest of the day.
Not worried about blood sugar with this but for your teeth maybe have them as part of a meal rather than as a snack.
I had a chocolate strawberry smoothie for breakfast. I add chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa, frozen kale and frozen cauliflower rice (which completely disappears) for additional fiber and ground flaxseed for healthy fat along with strawberries and half a banana. It keeps me full for about four hours. It’s almost half my daily RDA of fiber in one tall glass.
Who cares about the fruit. Abbey, your HAIR looks so good! 🤩
thanks for this! I have an ileostomy and struggle to consume much fruit and veg in its whole state because it causes pain/blockages. Blending a significant proportion of my daily fruit and veg is literally the only way my digestive system can tolerate anywhere close to enough but I always worry I’m loosing nutrients by doing so because of things I’ve heard/read about blending!
Thank you Abbey for posting this!! I’ve heard this here and there, but didn’t want to believe! Excellent job at explaining why and showing us the research! Glucose goddess posted one recently talking about blending vegetables and how that doesn’t keep the fiber intact. Can you speak to this too?? Maybe in another post? Thanks for all you do. Really enjoy your content!
Thank you!
Did anyone else hear “red shirt dietician” instead of “registered dietician”? 😅
I just got my braces and 4 teeth extracted. And I have blending most of fruits and veggies and it is assuring to hear this.
