A serving isn't a cup. Serving is 1/2 cup. so that's 4 servings throughout the day, or one rubbish smoothie, in one hit.
They might be normal, that doesn't mean they're right.

The NHS seems to think it's right.

A portion of fruit (80g) is roughly equivalent to:




  • a slice or half a large fruit e.g. a slice of melon or half a grapefruit.
  • 1 medium size fruit e.g. an apple.
  • 2 small size fruits e.g. 2 plums or satsumas.

Better tell the NHS that apples are unhealthy.

What, how does that show anything you've said. Not only that, but that's 5 a day quantities, nothing to do with nutrition.
You do know 5 a day is a number plucked from thin air and isn't based on anything.
It was simply a number that is higher than most people eat and what they thought was obtainable.

5 a day is irrelevant, portion size and fruit recommendations are relevant.

So how does that show anything to support anything you said. It doesn't at all.
So it says a portion is at maximum half your smoothie. And that's ignoring all other national advice. Which also comes into play.

As I said you fallen for advertising.

Peer reviewed nutritional data does not constitute advertising.

Go here and do the maths:

If you actually have any real published evidence that drinking a smoothie instead of eating raw fruit is harmful I'd be interested in seeing it, otherwise I'm not.
 
Lol another list, what does that show at all.

Read up on blood sugar for a start.
Eating a quarter of your daily sugar in a snack in one go. Or if you go by more modern research half your sugar. Let alone the lack of feeling full.
 
Ok, so you can't provide any evidence to substantiate your claims and "lol" at all the published data that is contrary your claims, at least I know to ignore you in the future regarding this matter. :)
 
How on earth is that published stuff contrary to anything I said, do you know what it shows, and how it relates to what you said. as in it doesn't relate to anything.

Again for a start read your link on the 5aday website about smoothies, then read up on blood sugars, and a whole host of other info. then come back and tell me what you learnt.

Ate you really sitting there with a straight face, honestly believing that much sugar in such a short time as a snack is good for you, if so lol.
Shop brought smoothies are neither fresh nor healthy and as such should not be in tax free allowance.
If you want smoothies make it your self, choose lower sugar fruit, like most berries and have smaller portions. Better still snack on something with a better nix if nutrition that won't spike blood sugars and will actually make you feel full longer.

And that's ignoring the smoothies enamel stripping acidity. again on you own link. Innocent mango and passion fruit, stripped more enamel than coke. On top if that it's not even whole fruit, which means you get the sugar without all the fibre and other parts. Take the strawberries and banana out of the 6 fruits, 4 of them are just the juice. again refer to heat your own link days about such things. Hint the 5 a day link.
