Vitamix Blender and Carb content (soups, sauces & smoothies)

[JohnD]

One of the features of the Vitamix and other high power blenders is that they blast the living daylights out stuff. Part of what is mentioned is breaking down cell walls and making things very smooth and silky. High fiber things (celery, broccoli…) are partly low carb because the fiber is undigestible

Back to powerful blenders, has anyone read about what it might mean to break the cell walls from a carb availability perspective?

Or has anyone experienced a blood sugar rise when eating (drinking?) something that was blended?

And any thoughts on how lower power blenders are? (The old standby Oster style blenders)

This would be a case of “majoring in the minors”. If you are tracking carbs in what you eat, trying to calculate if those numbers should be higher or lower depending on how pulverized by a blender they are is not going to be a strategy for long term success.

I have no reason to blend my bacon.
