Blending might introduce some oxidation to the nutrients.

However, it enhances the absorbance of any nutrients present as the liquid form is very easily digested and absorbed. So many nutrients are quickly absorbed by the body when fruits are blended!

Smoothies are great and you don't lose any significant amount! Happy Blending
