smoothies aren't zero points
me again, I apologize, that sounded really rude! That wasn't the question, and you likely don't care.

I meant to offer advice to OP that smoothies are not 0 points. Carry on.
That makes no sense, all those foods are 0 points.
This has been a program rule for a long time, and is now built into the online tools (although some people decide to ignore it). Smoothie ingredients aren't calorie-free, and their research has shown that when people blend foods into a drinkable form, they tend to consume a much greater volume than they would if they were eating the solid foods. Some members were consuming hundreds more calories per day via smoothies than the program intended people to consume from zero-point foods, so they created the rule that if you turned solid food into a beverage, you had to count the points. A reasonably-sized smoothie (e.g., 8 oz.) still isn't going to cost you a lot of points, and it keeps people from drinking 20 oz smoothies and then wondering why the scale doesn't move.
