This thread is old.

Has anyone realised that compressing five a day into a quick drink is missing the point yet?

For some of us it never was the point.

Ok I've just seen his other thread. Blimey what's so difficult about eating 5 portions of fruit and veg in a day?!

Wasn't that a rejected Nick Lowe/Brinsley Schwartz song title?

Fruit juice counts as only one of your five a day, no matter how much you have. Secondly, blending breaks the cellular structure of the fruit making the sugar more accessible to the digestive system, so unlike solid fruit, the sugar in juice counts as added sugar just like in chocolate etc.
