Can fruit lose it's nutrients?

I'm going to buy me a blender, I want to make fruit drinks (no milk or ice cream) just fruit. Will the fruit lose nutrients from being blended. I was told that, but I don't think that statment is true..you're bascially just cutting the fruit, right?

Can fruit lose it's nutrients?
With some fruits nutrients are in the skin or peel but I wouldn't worry too muich they have plenty to go around
Reply:no, as long as you drink all the juice that comes from it. Cooking it "kills" the good stuff.
Reply:As long as you eat them immediately, they don't lose their nutrients.
Reply:You will lose a small amount of nutrients if you peel the fruit (like apples). But otherwise you will be OK.





We are supposed to get 5 servings of fruits and vegetables everyday. You will be beyond that with your fruit drinks so you will be a few steps ahead of most people.





Also change your fruits daily. Make sure that throughout the week you get a lot of colors in that blender. This is how you cover your maximum vitamins and nutrients.
Reply:Yes, it will.
