Excuse me, it's smoothies that are an abomination, if anything.

You've got beautiful fruit where each bite tastes and feels different, which have long fibers with structural integrity to prevent your stomach from ingesting the sugar all at once, and then you decide:
Nah, I'd rather have fruit soup, where the whole thing just has a singular monotonous taste. And where there's nothing to chew. Just sign me up for the retirement home now.

Whoah, calm down, killer. I am in the same camp as you with smoothies. I just think fruit salads are worse. Smoothies (not made at home) at least usually take into account how flavors should blend together.

I was overplaying it for comedic effect. 🙃

My mum makes fruit salad with oranges, apples, bananas and then adds in apple juice to make it blend well.
