“Sometimes people who drink their foods don't have the same satiety feeling as with chewing a solid food.” Smoothies also go down faster than foods that need to be chewed, so your brain often doesn't get the signal as quickly as it should that you're full and need to stop eating, Warren says.

It’s not just you—experts say there are certain things about smoothies that can mess with how full you feel. “Chewing foods is an important part of the digestive process and helps contributes to feelings of fullness,” registered dietitian nutritionist Beth Warren, founder of Beth Warren Nutrition and author of Living a Real Life With Real Food, tells SELF. “Sometimes people who drink their foods don't have the same satiety feeling as with chewing a solid food.” Smoothies also go down faster than foods that need to be chewed, so your brain often doesn’t get the signal as quickly as it should that you’re full and need to stop eating, Warren says. The faster it’s in and out of you, the less full you feel. The New York Times addressed the downside of smoothies Friday, underscoring the fact that while smoothies contain the fiber of the fruit that's in them, the act of blending pulverizes the fiber before it gets into your body. “When you make a smoothie, you retain a lot of the fiber but your body doesn’t have to work as hard to digest it,” New York City registered dietitian Jessica Cording, tells SELF. It also matters what you put in your smoothie. Cording says a lot of her clients make the mistake of packing their smoothies with fruits and vegetables but no protein, which can help slow the digestion process and leave you feeling fuller, longer. “Without protein, it’s just going to break down quickly and you’re going to be hungry again not long after drinking it,” she says. Experts say that there is a right way to do smoothies. If you want your smoothie to substitute for a meal, Cording stresses the importance of putting in a protein, like nut butter, Greek yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, flax seeds, or hemp seeds, to help slow down the digestion process. Even then, she says, you may need to plan to have a snack between meals, like a boiled egg or nut butter on whole wheat toast. For actual ratios, Warren recommends sticking to one cup of fruit and one or two sources of protein. “You can also use unsweetened almond milk as a base or water to cut the calories and added sugar while adding flavor and essential nutrients,” she says. And, since sugars can make you feel hungry (due to spikes and drops in blood sugar), Cording suggests trying to add more vegetables than fruits to your smoothies, if possible. Overall, experts say smoothies can be a great way to get more fruits and vegetables into your diet—provided you’re smart about them.
