Yes, of course, they have some great benefits; however, everything in balance. Whole fruits and vegetables contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The fiber can make you feel fuller for longer and helps to slow down the absorption of the fructose (naturally occurring sugar). On the other hand, if the cellular walls of the vegetables or fruit are destroyed, through processing such as blending or juicing, sugars released is defined as free sugars. Smoothie is generally a better option because of the blending process of all parts of the whole foods. Smoothie tends to be a good option for blending extra protein (yogurt, pulses) and healthy fats (seeds, nuts, avocados). In the juicing process, the fibre and parts of fruit or vegetable are removed.
