Blending vs Juicing
For years, it’s been beaten over our heads the importance of eating fruits and vegetables for optimal health.
Then they told us that we could maximize the benefits of fruits and vegetables by drinking them.
And for a lot of people, that was the best thing since sliced bread.
A lot of us are healthier and living longer today because we drink our veggies.
But, what about what juicing leaves behind?
Isn’t all the good stuff supposed to be in the pulp we were throwing out?
After I had my first blended juice I realized that I was wasting a ton of money.
Sure, I can add pulp to pancakes, breads, and muffins, or even compost it, but, after the time it takes to clean the juicer, I’m not in the mood to do any baking.
I also noticed that my blended juice lasted for a couple of days longer than juice made from the juicer.
If I didn’t drink it all the day I made it, I didn’t have to worry about it fermenting in the fridge by the next day.
And, I didn’t have to worry about any sugar overload that drinking fruit juice would cause. One of the reasons for the pulp is to slow down the absorption of the fruit sugars.
When I found that out, blending instead of juicing just made much more sense to me.
And that’s why I bought a Vita-Mix.
What’s your opinion?
