Does blending blueberries reduce their health benefits?

As above. I know juicing fruits removes their fibre and their goodness. What about blending. Specifically blueberries. Does blending it and then adding it to things reduce its health benefits at all or its fibre benefits.
I would’ve thought blending is fine as you chew food anyway which is like a blended version. But I’m not sure. Juicing I understand why wouldn’t be the best.

    You haven’t altered the berry or removed fiber by blending it, so it’s still just a blueberry.

    BTW, Wyman’s frozen blueberries are magical. They’re in the freezer case.

    A serving of frozen berries on a serving of cottage cheese, a dash of sweet balsamic, and a spoonful of Grapenuts. My absolute favorite snack. Would choose it over ice cream, candy…..
