    Also did some quick, casual research but I found the opposite information. Curious where you read the contrary, though my own searches were definitely not exhaustive either.

    “If most or all of the whole fruit and/or vegetable is blended into the beverage (skin, pulp, and flesh), then the nutrients and fiber are preserved, making it nutritionally comparable to eating the ingredients in whole form. In some cases, these “smoothies” may offer high quality nutrition if very fresh produce is used. They may also be easier to digest in a blended texture. However, consuming these same foods in whole form will provide longer term satiety and make it easier to avoid excessive caloric intake.“

    My breakfast smoothie every morning:

    In correct fill order,
    Coconut water, honey, plain greek yogurt, vanilla whey protein powder, old fashioned oats, spinach, frozen bluebs, frozen bananas, frozen strawberries.

    Also, get a legit blender if you can afford it. I thought Vitamix blenders were overpriced until I finally caved and it’s a world of a difference. The oatmeal and spinach get blended so well I can’t even tell they’re in there at all. It’s definitely a “buy it for life” type product, so you’re paying for quality.

    I know Baskin Robbins is seen as "too mainstream" by many, but their mint chocolate chip remains my favorite flavor to this day. I'm sure nostalgia plays a big role in it as I've been no stranger to their iconic store smell since I was a kid, but I think the biggest reason that their flavor specifically remains a top favorite is because they shave their chocolate chips into tiny bits and pieces; then, those pieces are shotgun-blasted all throughout the ice cream. Not a big fan of the big chocolate chunks that are frugally distributed with other brands.

    BR's mint chocolate chip is familiar, consistent, and delicious!
