Yes, they often have more Fiber which will keep you full for longer, plus you can blend satiating ingredients that increase the nutritional value.

This means a smoothie makes a much more substantial and filling meal for a person on the run or doesn't have the time to sit and enjoy fresh fruit before starting there day.
