I agree with this, but I also think you CAN eat 3 square meals per day and be healthy.
I've actually had way more people claiming the opposite...that you need to eat like 6-8 mini meals or whatever.
Although I personally could never have just 1 super big meal per day, I'd also say you could be healthy doing that too!

YES! I agree with this completely.
I like smoothies just fine, but I don't like them as meals. I tend to make or buy low calorie smoothies that are more of a beverage option than a meal. I've had the big heavier smoothies a few times for breakfast or lunch and they did leave me feeling full but not satisfied at all...more like I'd quickly swallowed liquid to create a lump in my belly that was just strange to me. Not my thing, I guess.
As for smoothie bowls, I just side eye that whole concept. It's not for me. My friend and her daughter live for acai smoothie bowls - they are obsessed - and to me it's just like a fruity dessert that is okay.2 -

I have a spinach smoothie that I find satisfying, but it's about expectations. Night cap on a warm night? Very satisfying. Meal replacement? Heck no.2 -
I love cake batter, a few licks when I bake a cake...but generally could care less about the cake itself unless it has very special frosting or some kind of filling.0

AGREE! I find them to be a waste of calories.1 -
I find the smoothies I make very filling and when I have them for breakfast I am no more hungry before lunch than any other day, but I totally get that for some people drinking cals just isn't as filling.
Smoothie bowls are weirdly unappealing to me even though I can't think of a good reason why. (My smoothies tend to be so voluminous it would be a nightmare to consume them by spoon given the time required, but that's not why.)1 -

Some ppl get filled by a tbsp of peanut butter... what do I know.
I guess one can make one less filling than others...0 -

Yes, I love a smoothie as *part* of a meal, but it will never replace a meal for me.2 -

I love Oreos with milk, but the idea of eating an Oreo "dry" (no dunking) and getting it in my teeth makes me seriously want to start crying right now.0 -

I like crushed oreos... but yeah, whole oreos: what is the hype/point?1 -

Not a big fan of regular ones but the carrot cake and pistachio ones are soooo good.
I’d never eat a plain dry original Oreo.... yet they are so popular0 -

And I'm the opposite: I generally don't like dry food made wet: for me, no dunking of donuts or cookies of any variet, and I dislike the "gloppiness" of oatmeal, and so, bake oatmeal into muffins, pancakes, etc., so I can enjoy the taste without the texture.1 -

Have you HAD homemade hummus though? From a mom or grandma's recipe? Just hand it allllll over, thanks.
My unpopular opinion: pickled turnips are amazeballs.0 -
I too am not a fan of Oreos...I never got the appeal of these dry 'things'...however I do remember once having some sort of white chocolate truffle using the Golden Oreos and they were very yummy.1
