Smoothies are a substitute for fruits and vegetables?

Smoothies are fruit smoothies, which are produced in contrast to the fruit juice has long been known in the whole fruit. Except for the seeds and skins here, the fruits are used exclusively for threshing. Recipes for smoothies and milkshakes are different are often mixed with more juice, leaving the smoothie, in contrast to a very creamy consistency and creamy. It also derives from the name of the fruit smoothies, soft as in the English language used for thin, thick, or uniform.
The shakes have their origin in the U.S., but now also in many other countries to find juice bars, restaurants are common. Often, the smoothies are available in these other bars frozen fruit juice or ice cream as accompaniment. The batter has a development as an industrial product that is in commerce in the cooling compartment or in the stalls. It is generally taught with a quick, healthy smoothies to eat fruits and vegetables often. Precisely this assumption of consumers, namely, a healthy diet with enough fruit and vegetables, also relies on advertising for the shakes.

Ingredients smoothies
Not clearly define the ingredients of a milkshake. The recipes and ingredients are highly dependent on the manufacturer's expectations and perceived needs of consumers. Almost all fruit products are currently sold cream in the batter run. Most industrially produced Smoothies are made from juice concentrates. Therefore, the distinction between fruit juice smoothies recognizable only in their consistency. Real and effective, however, are smoothies made ​​from fruit that is fair, ie, fruit puree or fruit puree or juice and contain the basis of this production process often pieces of fruit. The banana is not manufactured in shakes often a basic ingredient that makes it next to a pleasant taste and creamy consistency.
Often, portions of pureed vegetables are attached, usually, these are rather mild to vegetables like carrots. In addition, yogurt or milk shakes are found in many manufactured as an ingredient.

Smoothies are so consumed mainly as juice, which are classified according to nutritional assessment and juices. Therefore, these shakes from time to time replace a portion of fruit or vegetables a day. A shake of high quality, which is half of juice and pulp can replace even occasionally two servings of fruits and vegetables daily.
The condition is to make sure it contains no added sugar or additives. These include both flavors and colors or preservatives. In addition, the batter not produced from concentrate, suffering from nutrient composition. Only very high quality smoothies can therefore sometimes replace the recommended intake of fruits and vegetables. The manufacturing method is usually stated on a small representation of the mixing container.

Is it true what it says publicity about the shakes?
The claims that are made to be beaten very critical. No wonder the consumer fact suggests that he may meet with a volume of 100 ml of the product and 50 percent of your daily fruits and vegetables is sufficient. Referring to the information of the German Society for Nutrition in relation to the amount of fruits and vegetables, this announcement is measured solely as false, is a German conditions.
The advertising message is blurred due to the WHO recommendations should also include developing countries, where lower availability of fruits and vegetables are available. Recommendations for Germany see 600-650 g of fruit and vegetables a day before and this can not be achieved by 50 percent to a batter with 100 ml.
