I havent got either....will a modified lawn mower work?

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Yeah, we just got a normal blender, great use for any reduced price fruit at supermarkets.
Smoothies = awesome, even more so when made yourself.

They are nice, but a bloody rip off. Making your own is much nicer .

 

[randal]

Try making your own taste the same as an Innocent smoothie, the banana normally ends up overpowering everything else. I've tried, but boarded the fail boat on many occasions.

If anyone has a good recipe for the vanilla bean thickie, I'm all about it.

They are nice,

but dont think that just because you are drinking a smoothie you are getting the same amount of energy etc as eating the fruit itself.

It was good when I was working in Hammersmith, as we could catch the promo van and get a few bottle or two free

Why?

 

[leezer3]

Too many things/ sizes
Thats the little ones FWIW, large ones ought to be about £2.50- £3, or on offer at around £4- £4.50 for two, although I'd have to check the precise current offers in work.

Same here. Stops me getting fed up with one kind of juice

No chance at work though. If I do it the night before it's gone brown by the time it gets to work

 

[Solaris]

Why?

Yeah...dont see why it would be any less nutritious....

 

[Sinny]

Why?

If you eat an apple/orange/pear/bannana etc your stomach has to work to break down these foods, if its all been palped down into a drink then your body is not working as hard to digest the food.

their are other various ways that eating fruit is better but they are not fixated in my head.

 

[Solaris]

I just prefer the taste of fruit mixed together.

Actual fruit > smoothie > no fruit at all.

Just because it's been pulped why would then mean it would contain any less energy?
I can see that it would release the energy quicker but not that it would contain any less energy as you post suggests.

 

[Posty]

I find they are far too sweet/sugary i prefer to just eat fruit by itself

you get the energy but eating the fruit itself gives you more due to your body breaking down the food better.
