Smoothies are less healthy than simply eating the foods unblended. Obviously getting a more complete nutrient profile will have positive results, but the more processing done to your food, the less overall healthy it is. The more processed your food is, the less your body has to work to digest it, which means the sugars (which all foods eventually break down into) more rapidly pass into your blood. Highly processed foods greatly contribute to diabetes because (i think) they result in much higher amounts of sugar dumping into your bloodstream at once.
