Juicing, or smoothies

moniquejane1971

I bought a juicer a while ago, but then learnt that juicing isn't all that great for you, because it takes out all the fiber, and can give you a drink that is high in sugar...just wondering what everyone else does. Smoothies are better for you? thoughts please

Juicing is great - use mostly green things , not so much fruit ; I get great success from spinach , celery , cucumber , green apple (1) lemon (2 if small) and ginger . Smoothies are great too ; I use 40gms oats , vital greens , macca chia etc then a small handful of frozen blueberries . Both a great - they do different things . Both help your health.

My nutri bullet is my favorite kitchen tool for green smoothies....

There are people that cant take the bulk part of fruits and vegies due to a disorder. Sometimes seeds bother people with conditions. That being said, I think you are spot on about the fiber. Without any disorder you are getting a more full nutrient rich meal with smoothies. IMO

I don't juice because of the fibre being taken away.
I have a protein smoothie everyday. Just because it helps me get my protein in and it's yummy

I juicing when I want to refresh or cleanse. It takes motivation to buy all that produce though. Health aside, smoothies are more convenient.

How does that cleansing work, and how do you know if it works?

I have a juicer but rarely if ever use it. I have green smoothies on a regular basis and love them! They also keep me full for hours.

Smoothies as they are packed with the fiber!
