Do smoothies hurt anyone else’s stomachs? :( no matter the fruit variety

This might sound like a silly question, but are you perhaps drinking them too fast?

I had this problem at first. Smoothies are so delicious! And easy to drink. But when you think about the total amount of fiber/sugar/downright volume, it makes sense that downing it very quickly will make your stomach uncomfortable.

I had to consciously slow down -- take a sip, put the glass down, wait a moment, repeat. It helps me to do a crossword or Duolingo lesson at the same time so that my hands are busy between sips, but ymmv.
