I don’t mean just drinking the juice of the fruit, I mean actually putting the whole thing in a blender with a little bit of water and drink the results
The TEF (thermic effect of food) of whole foods is higher than the processed equivalent. “Processed” meaning any sort of cooking/blending process. With whole, raw foods, your body has to work harder to break through those cell walls to get at all the good stuff inside. When you blend your food, you eliminate that process and make the nutrients easier for your body to access.
The sugar may hit your system more quickly if blend up fruit - the fiber gets broken up.

“The removal of fibre from food, and also its physical disruption, can result in faster and easier ingestion, decreased satiety, and disturbed glucose homoeostasis which is probably due to inappropriate insulin release. These effects favour overnutrition and, if often repeated, might lead to diabetes mellitus.”
Consider - a single serving of fruit is about the size of a kiwi fruit or half banana. A blender could allow higher consumption if that’s your goal. Nutritionally, similar to chewing but may skew the body’s natural ability to manage consumption volume as mastication does provide some feedback for satiety.
Not the same at all. First off 1 whole orange eaten is not the same as a glass of OJ that uses 5-7 oranges on average.
Quantity of sugar, velocity of fructose absorption, stress on the liver to metabolise fructose, lack of fiber, calorie count - all are factors that need to be addressed.
The man is talking about a smoothie, guys. Not juice.
I can’t answer your question scientifically, only from my point of view. The most nutritious fruits/veggies are the ones you actually eat. I tend to be lazy about eating fruits as a whole, but I love making myself a big smoothie with tons of fresh/frozen fruits. So, even if might lose a few percentages of vitamins through the “heating” of the blades, or “oxidation”, I’m better off this way. ☺️
Hello
From a nutritional point of view, eating fruit is more beneficial than its juice because it is Rich in fiber.
The latter contributes to the feeling of satiety in cities because it slows down the digestive Process.
They also reduce the amount of sugar that doubles in smoothies.
If you eat a whole apple, which usually weighs 150 grams, you will get 17 grams of sugar, Which is equivalent to two lumps of processed sugar.
On the other hand, this amount will double if you eat apple juice, which requires you to Squeeze several to make up the contents of a full glass of juice.
