Smoothies can be a bit of a mixed bag, health-wise. While they contain fruit, they often pack in a lot of natural sugars without the fibre you'd get from eating whole fruit. This means your body absorbs the sugar more quickly, which isn't always ideal, especially if you're trying to manage your sugar intake or improve your overall diet.
