Sugar is not inherently evil, and provided your juice doesn't have extra sugar added and still has the pulp, it's fine. In fact, if you get a Ninja or one of those small smoothie blenders, you can throw whole fruit in it and "hide" a good amount of vegetables in there without the kiddos even noticing. You'd be surprised how much spinach you can "sneak" in with fruit before they notice the taste. Kale, however, is a very strong flavor, and there's no getting that past them.
I never said that sugar was evil, but during practice you don't want to be consuming a lot of sugar. And yes those smoothies are a great idea, but I wouldn't necessarily drink them during workout. Though I would definitely have one for a pre-workout meal.
