Difference between Smoothies and Juices
A juice is a drink using a specialized juice extractor and a smoothie is a drink made by mixing whole ingredients into a pulp in a blender.
If you decide to purchase a juicer, you are getting exactly that - juice from fruits and vegetables, as it is they are forced through the extractor and the fibres are left behind. Juices will provide your body with nutrients in rapid speed, and saves your body having to break down and digest whole foods.
Smoothies tend to have a creamier texture because the add use of milk or yogurt. You can probably live on smoothies and fresh soups, but you can't live on juice alone. Smoothies contain a great deal of fibre, which is essential for a healthy diet. You can add goats milk or goats yogurt to the mix, to give your body an important source of protein. Juices are great to give your body a healthy boost first thing in the morning or early afternoon, when your body feels tired. Freshly made juice is an excellent alternative to caffeine drinks like Red Bull, Coffee, Coke and pop drinks
Having a smoothie blender and a juicer will benefit your health, how you feel and your skin. Giving your kids freshly made juice is a fantastic way to get nutrients inside them because kids are not overly excited about eating fruit, but all kids like juice (fresh or artificial). If you suffer from bad sweet cravings and you can't resist a chocolate snack, smoothies made with sweet fruits can kill these sweet cravings instantly or maybe add some honey with your juice.
Overall, it's great fun to experiment mixing different fruits together and even more fun drinking the refreshing juice. Buy a juicer or a smoothie blender and it will be a great future investment towards your health and skin. |
