Juice vs smoothies

Date: August 08, 2011 03:08PM I've been making lots of smoothies in the VitaMix - love them! Is there any reason, other than digestibility, for drinking juice rather than smoothies? I'm happy to have the fibre along with the juice. It's more economical,too, I think.
So many people are juicing that I imagine there must be a reason. Re: Juice vs smoothies

I like juicing in the morning, and a Green Smoothie in the afternoon. Juice puts the Body quickly into motion (much like the effects of a Coffee Drinker), and Green Smoothies provide nutrition for a longer period of time......WY Re: Juice vs smoothies

Date: August 08, 2011 06:14PM Thanks, WheatgrassYogi!
I don't have a good juicer (except for the manual wheatgrass juicer) & I'm wondering if it's important to get one. I really don't have the money to spend. If that's the only reason, I think it's okay to stick with my morning wg juice, followed by a smoothie a little later. Re: Juice vs smoothies

Date: August 10, 2011 07:28PM I wonder too, Jane...my live-in g/f is now clamoring for me to get us a juicer, after I'd just gotten us a Vitamix, but I can't really justify the expense so quickly -- I want to get more "settled down" with blending smoothies first (besides, juicing looks like much more of a hassle).
Anyway, to answer your question, my gf claims that juicing has got to be more nutritious simply by virtue of the fact that so much more veggies are needed to make juice -- meaning more nutrients! As well as near-immediate absorption (digestibility, as you called it).... Me personally, I think so many folks are into juicing 'cause it probably feels better psychologically to think that you're drinking veggie juice instead of eating liquified veggie pulp!

Date: August 15, 2011 10:49AM Hi, In my case I got the juicer first and now I'm thinking of a blender. I'm thinking that the juicer my have been to hardcore for me to start with,because as I am just learning.The sugars in the juice go strait to the blood.The fiber that is still in the smoothies will slow this down. And you don't juice fruits,mainly leafy greens which can be nasty tasting at times. Re: Juice vs smoothies

Date: August 23, 2011 02:22AM I do both every day.I follow my body and sometimes I do smoothie in the morning
because I feel like it.I am following my body and it is working for me. I did a mistake drinking too much wheatgrass last week because I was feeling so good,but now I go slow (hope I did learn) and follow my body ( I am learning to do that). This week I am just doing smoothies in the morning and at night,but next week I'll start with my juicing again. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
