Smoothie or Juice? What’s the difference?

by bonsen kitchen on July 21, 2021

Whether you are looking to improve your health or just looking to quench your thirst, smoothies and juice are a great choice. Both drinks are incredibly popular at the moment, but aren’t they the same thing? Well, no. While smoothies and juice might look very similar, there are key differences between how they are made and how our bodies digest them.

 

What is the difference between juice and smoothies?

Liquid nutrition is incredibly popular at the moment, and many of us now drink juices and smoothies as part of our day-to-day life. However, they are two very different drinks, and the first major difference is how they are made.

A juice is a liquid that is extracted from fruit and vegetables, with users needing to typically use a special juicer that discards all of the pulp. This leaves a completely clear drink and allows the user to quickly consume a large amount of nutritious fruits and vegetables. On the other hand, smoothies are usually made in a blender and combine everything, including the pulp, into one creamy and thick drink.

 

The different methods of creation mean that the drinks offer various nutrient levels. As a smoothie blends the entire fruit or vegetable, including the pulp, it contains a higher amount of fiber. This is an important part of your diet and can help slow your digestion, ensure you feel fuller, and also stabilize your blood sugar.

However, that is not to say that juice does not have any advantages. As juice removes all of the pulp, it ensures the drink can contain more fruits and vegetables in comparison to a smoothie, ensuring you can maximize your nutrient intake.

When drunk in consideration, both drinks are a fantastic addition to your diet and can help to improve your health.
