[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious where you came up with that recipe.  Was it some guidance you read somewhere regarding suggestions for daily consumption?  Agree with other posters that it seems like a lot of fruit.  In a day, I typically eat 2-3 servings of fruit, but 5-6 servings of vegetables.

It does occur a bit odd to me that the FDA doesn't distinguish between fruits and vegetables in terms of recommendations; would seem that vegetables would be lower in sugar and calories, and just as rich (or richer) in vitamins and fiber.  But I'm no nutritionist![/quote]

OP here.  I saw that recipe in men health magazine.

FWIW, I am 37 years old, 6'1" and 175 lbs.  I swim 90 minutes every morning M-F.  I play golf on Saturday and go hiking on Sunday.  I am neither interested in losing or gaining weight.  I follow a very strict diet where I also eat a large bowl of salad with tomatoes and 12oz of grilled chicken for lunch.  Healthy dinner too.

I went to see two different certified nutritionists and got two completely different answers about consuming fruit in smoothies form vs. eating them the normal way.  Seems like there is no long term study on this subject and everyone just seems to be guessing without much evidence to support one way or other.[/quote]
