It is convenient for me to have lunch from a blender. I mix soy protein, a
variety of fruits and a little canola oil with water, and blend until smooth. I
have heard that processing the fruits reduces the nutritive value of fruits and
vegetables. Is that true? Does it reduce mineral & vitamin content? If so,
how? If so, is there a way to blend a meal that does not compromise its
nutritive value? Thank you so much! Diana
Answer I mix soy protein, Caution soy rotein leads to breast cancer, so may want to use whey dairy protein
