Can a smoothie be a meal replacement?
Yes, they often have more Fiber which will keep you full for longer, plus you can blend satiating ingredients that increase the nutritional value.
You must be careful of the sugar content though as some smoothies that use fruit juice add unnecessary sugars which can cause blood sugar to spike. This can result in a crash mid-morning as your sugar levels decrease.
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.
