Calories in smoothies vs whole fruit

I find I rarely can stomach enough whole bananas to make a meal. Dates are way too sweet to eat whole most of the time also. I prefer smoothies because of more hydration and more fruit can be eaten, however, I try and not add too much water. I heard Doug say on a video that blending fruit reduces its calorie content. Is this true? If it is, then I have been under eating calories for years, because at least one if not two meals a day are smoothies or orange juice. If I had access to affordable and ripe mango and papapa I would be eating these things whole all day long, but I do with what I have available in the PNW of USA, though seriously considering a trip to the tropics again and looking for land. Thanks!
