Juicing or Smoothies: What's the Difference?
ezinearticles

Smoothies and juices are both loaded with nutrients and taste fabulous. While they do have the same properties as the fruits or vegetables in their raw form, being in a liquid form means they have different textures and appearances. You'll find these differences in the procedure, methods, and machines used to make each drink.

The Major Differences

When you blend, you end up consuming the food in its entirety although some were already pulverized. So, if you blend an apple, your body will digest the full fruit. When you do juicing, the fibrous portion is removed. So, what is left are the micronutrients in a liquid form. As for the process, you have two procedures in juicing. You may use the juice to squeeze the water instantly, or you may do it manually. The juice extractor is necessary for harder fruits and vegetables. As for the smoothies, it requires either a high-performance or traditional blender. When the liquid (broth, milk, or fresh juice) is processed in a puree in a blender, the drink is smooth and thick. Smoothies are thicker and filling than juices since they have the fibrous cellulose and pulp, which have been removed from the juice.

All About Juicing

Juicing is an excellent way to get healthy nutrients into your body as quick as possible. It is quick in the sense that it does not require long preparation, yet you are still getting the essential nutrients needed in your body. Juicing has several health benefits, including weight loss, body hydration, boosting your immune system, and disease prevention. The water in juice is a natural source of water that will help to hydrate you as well as give you essential fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, proteins and carbohydrates. In addition to this, the fresh juice will also provide you with enzymes that are vital to your metabolic process and are critical elements in giving your body the best energy. Fresh juice deliver the raw goodness of fruits and vegetables to your system, almost like an intravenous injection. To be able to enjoy the benefits, the juicing must be from fresh fruits and vegetables, and not powdered or ready-made juices you can find in local grocery stores.

All About Smoothies

Smoothies are filled with lots of energy and nutrients because you are not only getting the liquid. Smoothies work best for busy people because hectic schedules make it sometimes impossible to prepare a healthy breakfast regularly. Smoothies can either help you maintain or lose weight. Unlike over-the-counter pills and supplements, vitamins that are ingested from smoothies can be considered more beneficial and healthier.

Whether you choose juice or a smoothie, you are still giving your body essential nutrients. Both of these methods make use of healthy fruits and vegetables. But knowing the differences will help you decide which type of method will adequately meet your needs best.
