Smoothieis a blend of crushed and squeezed fruit. It should be 100% pure fruit with no added sugar or water and, very importantly, be made with NFC rather than concentrated juices. A smoothie will be thicker and more pulpy than a normal juice as it contains whole crushed fruit. Beware, there are a lot of bogus 'smoothies' on the market that contain concentrated juices, sugar and water

ConcentratesConcentrates are made by taking a fruit juice, heating it to a very high temperature and evaporating off the water. This leaves a thick syrup that's a small proportion of the original volume (as low as 12% with oranges). When the drums of concentrated juice arrive at their destination, water is added back to restore the juice to its original volume.As a result a concentrated juice will often taste 'cooked'. The process that concentrates juice is really harsh. And because it's so harsh, there's no point using the best fruit when you're doing it.
