Hmmm! - I do WW online, and on their recipe section they have 9 smoothie recipes, every one of which is only pointed for 'other' non-fruit ingredients - eg milk/yogurt etc. There is also a 5 day breakfast planner on the site which includes a Strawberry & Mango smoothie and I have just run it through the point tracker and again the fruit is not pointed.

I can't see fruit with ice being pointed though....blending it doesn't change it :/ x
on SW it was a rule you couldnt have fruit in smoothies as the consumption changes. In other words, you could down 4 smoothies quite easily, whereas the chewing and consuming of fruit left you feeling fuller for longer - hence 'actual' fruit was free, but 'blended/mushed/cooked/stewed' was not.
Hope that makes a little sense - i am not that good at explaining things i see as senseless!!! hehe!

I'm with you YummyMummy and Elle. Elle - I could never really take on board the SW blending rule either - I mean I could understand how say, drinking orange juice would make it easy to 'drink' 6 oranges, which you probably wouldn't eat whole, but I could never accept that mashing a banana technically made it not free!
I think these kind of discrepancies between what is on the WW** site, and what Consultants say, can make it difficult for those who are trying to follow the plan who feel they need the 't's crossed -and the 'i's dotted. Personally I will not count fruit in a smoothie, as per the site. In fact, I may go and have one right now, just 'cos I can!
** To be fair - it is not just WW but SW as well where these discrepancies crop up.
