OK, so you don't like the word "extracted" in this context. The blending process clearly destroys cell walls and separates a certain amount of the juice from the fiber. Depending on the type of blender, the type of fruit or vegetable, and the speed/time of blending, I imagine the percentage of separation could vary considerably. I wonder how it compares to juicing?
Once consumed I would imagine your body would be able to absorb a certain amount of the liquid fairly quickly, much like pure juice is absorbed, then at some point the fiber would slow down absorption.
