For all my health conscious folks do you prefer to juice or blend your fruits and vegetables? Why do you prefer one over the other?

I have to control my carb count. It is way too difficult to do that by drinking juice.

Juice is pretty much just sugar and water. Not much value there. I eat most fruit and veg raw.

Don't have a jucier, so it's easy. I think you get more fiber from blending though.

If I have choose either blended or juiced give me blended any day! 🙂

They get eaten anyway I feel willing to prepare them. Normally the easiest way. I do peel banana's!

I tried juicing for a short time, but, then found what gets lost is the fiber which cleans the colon. Also, I think I recall that fewer nutrients are absorbed because of shorter transit time(?).

Are you a juicer or a blender, mrveggieman187? 🙂

Blending. I don't believe in wasting food. By juicing you are throwing away all the fiber.

@mrveggieman187 oh! got it. Yes, juicing was tasty and probably just sugar! 🙂

I am not healthy enough to participate.

Juicing is bad, imho, too much sugar. You want all the fibers and cellulose. But nobody should be drinking lots of fruit juice.

Juicing concentrates the sugars in fruit. That is unhealthy for anyone with diabetic tendencies.

Like some veggies raw and the littl fruit I eat au natural.

Juice is just too much sugar. Eat the whole fruit or vegetable for the fiber and nutrients. Juicing expels all of that. Blend if you must (smoothies can be truly awesome!) but raw or lightly steamed is healthier.

TRUE...I am a diabetic and my glucose levels were over the top when Juicing. My son has Juiced for over 5 years and he said he feels great, never gets a cold or flu, and has loads of energy.

Although I do enjoy a V-8 occasionally, and mix Clamato with beer.

Nah, I just eat whole fruits, with watermelon and blueberries being my favorites.

I was a farm kid, so I prefer my fruits and veggies as they came out of the ground or off the tree. However, if I have nothing else planned and have time to sit on the toilet all day, I will go for a fruit or veggie smoothie.
