I always hear it's because of the sugar content, yet I don't understand how fruit can be harmful to one's health.
My son and I have been drinking a lot of fruit smoothies; I add greens to them too, like kale, parsely, cilantro-but not everyday 'cause my son always begs me to make the ones without green stuff in them, though he'll drink the green ones sometimes. It's hard for me to eat breakfast, but these work.
I'll mix up the fruits to mix up the vitamins and antioxidants-like I'll take a ripened banana (to sweeten), pear, frozen mixed berries, a kiwi, and some frozen papaya. Or apples, pinapple, frozen strawberries, etc. Usually have to add some orange juice or milk, water works too if out of those.
Just think of all the vitamins and good stuff in these..Then I read all the time that fruits should be limited in diet.
