I love them but the ingredients for me are just banana, strawberries, ice-cream and milk. Not terrible but I wouldn't call it particularly healthyI stack a a bunch of spinach with 1 bananna and 2 strawberries with Greek Yogurt for Protein.

I have mine with fruits , some milk and protein powder. Makes a great post workout drinkI'm interested in them for this reason as well. For now, they definitely make lunch at work stress free. No going to a fast food or spending a bunch of time preparing food for work. Just go idle and drink healthy shit is ideal as hell for me. But yes after workout this seems like a super healthy option.

I used to drink smoothies as a lunch replacement too. I never put veggies or yogurt in them though. I'd do a bit of juice, strawberries, bananas and sometimes blueberries. The blueberries though, tend to give the smoothie a very gritty consistency. Wasn't a fan of that, but I know they're good for you.
I think the idea of adding protein to it is a good one too. Should make it a bit more filling. With just fruit, I was pretty damn hungry by dinner time
Yeah I like them. I don't really like wasting time eating so smoothies are a good way to get in a bunch of stuff at once. I use one of these because a blender is a bitch to clean.Just pop soap and water into the blender and run it for a minute or so and you're g2g.

but the more processing done to your food, the less overall healthy it is.
This is not a universally true statement. It's also not really a scale from 1-100 either. Some kinds of processing can reduce some nutrients while increasing others. The overall effect of blending your fruits and veggies is not very big anyway as long as that's all you're doing. But it can also depend on what kind of fruits you're blending.I've also heard that blending bananas with blueberries destroys the nutrients in blueberries...? Therefore making a blueberry banana smoothie not the ideal combo. I think that's what it was anyway.
Pineapples have Bromelain, for example, which is an enzyme that can destroy the nutrients in other foods.
This is not a universally true statement.Yeah, it's just my general rule of thumb. I've forgotten a lot about biochem since college when I was living with biochem students who wouldn't shut up about their lessons. It's exhausting trying to actively listen to people who just spew jargon and assume you understand.
The overall effect of blending your fruits and veggies is not very big anyway as long as that's all you're doing.You're probably right, I'm just used to thinking in min-max mindset for stuff like this because internet groups for bodybuilding/weightlifting have an unhealthy fixation on optimal training and nutrition.

Honestly, it's only the ice cream that makes your smoothie unhealthy. The banana is more than enough to sweeten the smoothie. Try without the ice cream and you'll most likely still enjoy it - and it'll actually be healthy.
Smoothies ain't healthy. Just take a multivitamin and save the sugar and calories.If you make the smoothie right it's healthy.
