[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.newhealthadvisor.org/does-blending-fruit-remove-fiber.html#:~:text=No%2C%20it%20does%20not.%20If%20you%20use%20a,for%20your%20body%20to%20absorb%20nutrients%20from%20it. Does Blending Fruit Remove Fiber? No, it does not. If you use a high-speed blender, it might break down fiber but you still get the same amount of fiber that you would otherwise get from the whole fruit. A blended smoothie is actually better in that it makes it easier for your body to absorb nutrients from it. This speeds up digestion and provides a number of health benefits. Blending fruits only changes their appearance and texture and does nothing to change their nutritional value. Most people blend fruit to make it more drinkable or spoonable. You should avoid storing your blended smoothies for long because longer storage time may cause nutrient degradation. In fact, the vitamin-C content of pineapple, kiwi, strawberry, mango, cantaloupe, and watermelon may come down by 5% to 25% when stored for six days at 41F.[/quote] Why would speeding up digestion be a good thing, especially if you are trying to lose weight? You want to slow down digestion and stay fuller longer.[/quote]
