What Bracha do you make on smoothies?  So a smoothie is a drink, and therefore,   the Bracha is Shehakol. Even though it's made  with vegetables and fruit, because it's pureed,   it's made into a juice, so therefore, the  Bracha becomes Shehakol. On all drinks,   we make a Shehakol. Since the fruit no longer has  its appearance, it loses its, what we call Tzurat   HaPri, you can't see anymore what fruit it is,  it just now becomes a liquefied form of a banana   or a liquefied form of a strawberry, etc. So  therefore, even if it originally was a vegetable   or a fruit, the Bracha on the smoothie is now  Shehakol. If a person drinks it fast enough,   which would be Revi’it, a person drinks  about three ounces within a few seconds,   within let's say 10 seconds, then they  would make a Borei Nefashot on it as well.
