Yes, you USE less energy digesting it, but the kilojoule content should be the same.

Agreed.
Sinny, from your original post you make it sound as if you're getting less energy from smoothies.
If you expend less energy digesting it then surely you're taking in more energy if you have it in this form?
I can't imagine the difference will be anything really worth noting anyway.
it most likely will be, i seen a nutritionist when i was young and i cannot remember exactly what she said but even though she said smoothies helped, eating fruit is a lot better for you and keeps you slimmer.
it is pretty hard explaining it but eating fruit the way it comes is a lot better for you.
Chewing and digesting solid fruits would burn up more energy yes, but the difference between that and drinking a smoothie would be negligible, you could probably offset it by walking up and down some stairs 2-3 times.
I love them, but only get them when on offer. Make my own as its far cheaper and I'm a cheapskate. As for fruit v smoothies, the only advantage I can see is eating a hard fruit such as an apple can help remove plaque 
. Unlike when one makes a juice and loses the fibrous part of the fruit, smoothies will contain the exact nutritional content as the fruit it came from. Will fruit be digested any different than a smoothie? Possibly, but I can't see it making a huge difference, certainly not enough to claim it 'is a lot better for you.'

Obviously in juice, you miss out on the skins of the fruits etc, which contains a lot of the good stuff. Smoothies just include everything apart from the inedible stuff, it's just the fruit put into a blender. You could call it "pre-chewed".

Anyone tried the winter edition? I bought 3 cartons the other night. The winter edition has lemon, honey and ginger! It tastes weird, in a good way!
I need to move to your office, because where I work they are 1.75 for a little bottle!
They are expensive but that is likely because they are 100% fruit unlike a lot of smoothies that are
"from concentrate" or "from puree"
I like them a lot, only way I eat any fruit really.
It is literally all of the fruit so it is as good as eating the real thing.

you have some funny meals
.
After drinking tropicana (with bits ofc ) for so long, I simply cant stand the cheap sour "from concentrate" rubbish anymore, doesn't even taste like real orange juice. Why were they always cloudy? It's like they added cornflour or something

A dept meeting at 9am every morning
If you are late - you have to wash the company van
At the weekly staff meeting they nominate a 'employee of the week' and everyone including the MD has to do the 'hail to the employee of the week' bit on their knees!!!
The thought of Leon trying that is cracking everyone up at the mo - but the pay is good, he has a 40K package...

Well some fruits have high sugar content.
