I apologize is this has already been asked, but how do you count them? I know that ww accounts for all the blended ingredients and my smoothie today is 11 points. (Spinach, kiwi, strawberries, banana, soy milk etc) I understand the concept that the ingredients are blended and if I had physically eaten all of my raw vegetables and fruit I would be much fuller. However I use them as a breakfast meal replacement or an afternoon snack. (I generally don't eat breakfast anyway so a smoothie is a better choice in my book, but it's my book. my rules, lol)
When bananas were 2 points and then became free, my leader indicated yes, bananas are now free but to "watch" how many you eat and if you ate a boatload of bananas you would gain weight. However she also stated that we didn't get to where we are today because we ate a boatload of bananas. So that thought has stuck, I know that I didn't get to this weight by drinking a boat load of green smoothies.
So my question, does everyone count your smoothie recipes at full throttle, full speed in points, or just use them as if you were making the smoothie to eat like a meal? Or another formula? I'm thinking that since I'm using it as a meal replacement, that I would count my smoothies 1/2 of what the smart points should be.
Keep in mind, I'm wondering what the general consensus on this board is, not the true diehard sp ww fan.
