Hi Cindy! Yes – blending is a great way to get in the fruit and veg, with fiber and all! I love my green smoothies, have you tried making them at home? Juicing can be a good thing to add to the diet, along with the whole foods and smoothies. It’s funny to me that healthy eating actually has me eating more rather than less! 🙂
Hi, I’ve been juicing daily for more than 2 months using Hurom and it has served us well.
Why juice and remove most of the fibre when you can eat the whole fruits? We juice because we do not have all the time to munch all the fruits and vegetables and our tummies will not be able to contain much of them because the fibre will fill us up quickly. In order to get all the nutrients quickly absorb into our bodies, we juice the fruits and vegetables.
In addtion to juicing, we also blend our fruits like strawberries, berries, mango, avocado, papaya, kiwi..etc.
My little girl drinks her portion of her juice daily too – It’s like daily ammunition to fight the viruses and bacteria. After juicing, she has not rarely fallen sick. Thank God!
Hi Dee! Absolutely! Eating everything that goes into a juice would take the whole afternoon to finish! 🙂 Your daughter is thriving I’m sure from her Mommy’s daily juice! 🙂 Thanks for sharing and I’m glad to hear the Hurom is working well – a good choice for juicing lots of different types of fruit and veg.
Hi there, what are your thoughts on Vitamix? i’m thinking of a blender so i can keep the fibers and not use too many fruits. Pls advise. Thank you. Maryann
Hi Maryann! I love, love Vitamix – and it’s definitely next on the list. The reason I didn’t go for it, is because I already have a blender that does a decent enough job, but I didn’t have a juicer. I agree with you – blending retains the fiber and especially good for fruit. Juicing greens offers other benefits that I’m enjoying as well… if you do get the Vitamix, please your recipes as you create new things! 🙂
hello:))))) i just bought my vitamix and i purchased it from balanced living on bukit timah road. i bought a smoothie before i bought the appliance and it was the best texture i have ever tasted. And immediately i purcased the blender:)) i’m so excited about it! Yes i will definitely share any green smoothie recipes and thank you…you inspired me to get one.
Hi Maryann! You’re going to have so much fun with your new machine – as I’m sure you are already! send me pics on fb (https://www.facebook.com/LittleGreenDot) of your creations!! Though I may end up just wanting to get my own sooner rather than later! Enjoy it :)))
[…] juicing and did a lot of research about which juicer to buy – it’s a big purchase after all! Here’s why I’ve started juicing but right now I want to dive deeper into the different machines out there and their pros and cons, […]
