Blenders and Fiber - Am I shooting myself in the foot?

[jamesnisly]

Does blending fibrous fruits and veggies into a smoothy drastically change how that fiber behaves in the body? Am I fooling myself into thinking I'm getting more fiber than I actually am when I throw a bunch of strawberries and blackberries into the vitamix along my whey powder for a quick post-training meal?

Eh, not really. That said, I probably wouldn't use a ton of fruit for carbs post workout if given a choice.
