Juices Vs Smoothies

Whats the Difference? Although in many ways juices and smoothies are similarboth are quick and easy to make, truly delicious, and packed with vitamins and mineralsthere are also important differences between the two.

Juices are made by squeezing the liquid from fruit and/or vegetables. Much of the fiber is left behind when you make juice, which means your body doesnt have to work so hard to digest juices and the nutrients are absorbed quickly into the blood stream. Smoothies are made by blending fruit and/or vegetables with other ingredients, such as milk, yogurt, nuts, or fruit juice. If you want to avoid dairy, you can use dairy-free alternatives, such as rice, oat, soy, or almond milk.
