OP here and of course I don't. But I am curious to hear how many people think it's NOT good for you and why, as this seems to be an increasingly common viewpoint.

The comments about "whole foods" also tracks for me, as something that people have started talking about a lot. I'm not at all surprised to see comments saying that my smoothies aren't as good because they are processed. This is a big thing now. I actually am not sure what to think of that. When I think of "processed" foods, I think of factory foods where they are breaking ingredients down to fine powders, recombining, adding preservatives, and then packaging the whole thing to sit on a shelf for months before consumption. Which I agree is not the most healthy way to eat. But running some fruit through a blender so I can drink 5 different kinds of fruit with some milk is not my definition of "processed foods." But people are obsessive about this now.

I wonder if it will impact anyone's opinion to know that I often used frozen fruit in my smoothies because it's the best way to make sure I always have fruit on hand, plus easier to get a good consistency in the smoothie. Usually mangos, pineapple, and some berries are frozen. I use fresh bananas, oranges, and then whatever we might have leftover from making other things or might have seen that was on sale or looked good at the store.[/quote]
