Hello

Does anyone know how to carb count a home made smoothie?

I have an ileostomy and cant eat much fruit and veg but i can drink it

Do i count the fruit before i blitz it or after? ie 25ml apple juice, half a small banana, 3 strawberries and 8 blueberries?

thank you
 
I'm assuming you would just add the carbs up for everything before you blitz as it will still be the same I would think x
 
Mash fruit don't liquidise as you will not brake the structures down as much so it will not give you as much of a spike
