Blender - Several questions?!
If you get a blender, how much of the fibres and vitamins are saved / left over after blending fruit into a smoothie !? I'm looking to chop bigger chunks of fruit, I'm not gonna cut them into really small pieces, is this even possible for blender use!?
Another thing i'm interested in is how much ice you need for one smoothie and if you could just use regular ice cubes and then crush them in your blender ( the blender I might buy does support it xD)!?
Thanks in advance, LarryWww@FoodAQ@Com
