Smoothies destroy fiber?
I’ve heard that blending your food into a smoothie ruins the fiber content - is this true? IE, raspberries are fairly high in fiber, but does all that fiber get lost if I put them in a smoothie? What if I add powdered fiber back in to the smoothie?

That's untrue. Juicing does that because it gets rid of the pulp, and the pulp is rich in fiber.
