Blending breaks the fruit down much more than chewing so it probably it's a bit worse than just eating the fruit itself. Since it makes it quicker to absorb. It's obviously not as bad as juices and gives you the same nutritional value as fruit. I really can't understand why anyone would put sugar in a smoothie. Blending a banana and a couple of berries tastes already very sweet.
