I've actually been able to pretty much remove all the fruit from the smoothies I've been blending up... So kale, spinach, cucumber, celery, parsley and maybe a few slices of apple or a 1/4 of a frozen banana for just a hint of sweetness.... also I've experimented with adding a little bit of various non caloric sweetners with little or no fruit, just veggies and the results have been pretty good... So it works out to only about 100 to 150 calories, plus 5 or 6 servings of veggies for the day and all the fiber.... So definitely a lot less calories than fruit smoothies and they don't seem to trigger cravings for more fruit for me....
