I’ve been making a lot of smoothies lately.
If I’m not in the mood for a smoothie, I’ll chop up a bunch of veggies and juice up a tall glass of green juice.
Whipping up a green smoothie, or juicing a tall glass of veggie goodness, seems to be all the rage lately.
And yes, I’ve been caught up in the excitement!
Do you have a preference?
For myself, I often prefer a smoothie to juicing – I like that the fiber stays intact (am I the only one who hates throwing all that nutritious fiber down the drain?) – plus I find it easier to clean a VitaMix than a juicer
Sometimes it’s a Green Smoothie, other times it’s a little less green, depending on the ingredients – it’s a little like mixing a palette of paint, to see what color you end up with.
On the flip side of things, there are many detractors to the juicing craze.
Bottom line – while certainly delicious, juicing may not always be the healthiest choice.
According to the experts, when you drink a glass of juice – especially if it’s mostly fruit – you’re really drinking nothing but a glass of sugar.
