THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SMOOTHIE & JUICE?

Many people get confused about the difference  between juices and smoothies. A juice contains no fiber/pulp from the produce – it is the extracted water content of fresh fruits and vegetables. A smoothie contains fiber – it is the result of blending whole fruits and vegetables, then drinking the mixture without seperating the fiber from the liquid. You can turn any fresh raw smoothie into a juice by simply squeezing it into a nut milk bag to seperate out the solids from the liquid.

Both are great for you… If a juice is eaten on an empty stomach, the nutrients penetrate deeper into your cells, so eat this first thing in the morning.
