Everyday Systems

I have a question for the crowd, lately I've come to love fruit smoothies, the ones made with only juice and fruit, not the ones with ice cream. Most I've used them as a replacement breakfast but yesterday it just sounded way too good between breakfast and lunch. I'm trying to figure out if it counts as a snack or if it counts like a glass of milk or juice?

I sometimes make smoothies like this myself and don't consider them sweets, but I do limit them to meals (breakfast). They're a little too thick and food-like to qualify as drinks in my mind.

But feel free to draw the food/drink line differently if you think you can handle it. This is definitely one of those "borderline" issues.

I have smoothies almost every day as part of my breakfast. I can't make it to lunch on just the smoothie, but I like it with peanut butter on whole grain toast or an egg or something. Maybe if you eat a little more at breakfast you won't be craving a smoothie snack?
