When it comes to smoothies, freshness isn’t just about flavor. It’s about nutrient retention, especially vitamin C. But did you know that how and when your smoothie is blended affects its nutrient content? The Vitamin C Countdown Starts at Blend Time. Here’s how to stop the nutrient drain:
🧪 The Science Behind Vitamin C Loss
Once fruits are blended, they’re exposed to air, light, and heat, which accelerates the breakdown of vitamin C. Studies show that:
1. Vitamin C is super sensitive
Even storing smoothies in the fridge can lower vitamin content by up to 15% over 3 hours.
2. Oxygen exposure
Oxidation increases dramatically during blending due to the rupturing of fruit cells and exposure to oxygen, leading to vitamin C degradation.
Pre-made smoothies? They’re essentially "nutritional zombies", technically edible but missing the vital nutrients you’re paying for.
