Are Fruit Smoothies Really as Nutritious As You Think?

Smoothie has become popular in recent decades, viewed as the healthy choice in food courts and increasingly an option to order after a workout in fitness centers.

近幾十年來，冰沙開始逐漸受大眾歡迎，被視為美食廣場上的健康選擇，也越來越多地成為健身中心人們鍛煉后的首選。

It's fruit in a liquid format, so shouldn't it be inherently healthy? Unfortunately, not all are created equal, and a strawberry ice cream smoothie simply doesn't qualify if you're looking for a nutritious option.

沙冰為液體形式的水果，所以這不應(yīng)該本身就是健康的嗎？不幸的是，并不是所有的東西都是一樣的，如果你正在尋找一個營養(yǎng)的選擇，草莓冰激凌冰沙根本不是一個合理的選擇。

Besides the wide range of ingredients that are packed into the average blended beverage, portion size is an important thing to consider, according to dietitian Suzanne Fisher.

營養(yǎng)師蘇珊娜·費舍爾提到，除了要考慮常規(guī)混合沙冰會會加入各種各樣的材料，分量也是需要考慮的一個重要問題。

When fruit is blended, it reduces to a smaller size without being super noticeable.

混合水果打碎時，各類水果就會被縮小到一個較小的尺寸，以至于不太明顯。

So while you might not eat two bananas, a scoop of yogurt, two spoonfuls of peanut butter, a cup of strawberries, and a tablespoon of honey in one sitting, these components can easily make their way into one single serving smoothie that you guzzle down in ten minutes.

因此，你可能不會一次性吃下兩根香蕉、一勺酸奶、兩勺花生醬、一杯草莓和一湯匙蜂蜜，但這些成分可以很容易地融進一份冰沙中，讓你在10分鐘內(nèi)咽下。

It's important to look at smoothies in the overall context of someone's nutrition habits. For people that don't eat fruit regularly, as one example, adding a balanced smoothie to their diet could help provide those nutrients they are missing.

重要的一點在于，需要借助飲用者的營養(yǎng)習慣的整體背景下來看待冰沙。例如，對于那些不經(jīng)常吃水果的人來說，在他們的飲食中加入均衡的冰沙可以幫助提供他們所缺少的那些營養(yǎng)物質(zhì)。

However, when fruit is mixed with extra sugar, the nutrient density is decreased and the added sucrose can lead to health complications over time including diabetes.

然而，當水果與額外的糖混合時，營養(yǎng)密度就會下降，而且隨著時間的推移，添加的蔗糖可能導致包括糖尿病在內(nèi)的健康并發(fā)癥。
