You have to count calories for each thing in a smoothie now, including fruit and vegetables so your smoothie is at least double the points. Anything that is blended or juiced has to be counted as points. Smoothies don't fill you up like eating the whole fruit or vegetable, you can down a lot of points in a very short time and are not recommended for optimal nutrition because the process breaks down the fiber and the body doesn't need to burn as many calories to digest it.
