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.
近几十年来，冰沙开始逐渐受大众欢迎，被视为美食广场上的健康选择，也越来越多地成为健身中心人们锻炼后的首选。
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.
沙冰为液体形式的水果，所以这不应该本身就是健康的吗？不幸的是，并不是所有的东西都是一样的，如果你正在寻找一个营养的选择，草莓冰激凌冰沙根本不是一个合理的选择。
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.
营养师苏珊娜·费舍尔提到，除了要考虑常规混合沙冰会会加入各种各样的材料，分量也是需要考虑的一个重要问题。
When fruit is blended, it reduces to a smaller size without being super noticeable.
混合水果打碎时，各类水果就会被缩小到一个较小的尺寸，以至于不太明显。
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，你可能不会一次性吃下两根香蕉、一勺酸奶、两勺花生酱、一杯草莓和一汤匙蜂蜜，但这些成分可以很容易地融进一份冰沙中，让你在10分钟内咽下。
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.
重要的一点在于，需要借助饮用者的营养习惯的整体背景下来看待冰沙。例如，对于那些不经常吃水果的人来说，在他们的饮食中加入均衡的冰沙可以帮助提供他们所缺少的那些营养物质。
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，当水果与额外的糖混合时，营养密度就会下降，而且随着时间的推移，添加的蔗糖可能导致包括糖尿病在内的健康并发症。
