Juicers make it simple to get all the fruits and vegetables you need in one thirst-quenching glass of juice. Juice is extracted from the fruits and vegetables leaving no pulp or fiber. The result is pure, concentrated nutrition in a cup that’s easy to drink and digest. Plus, experts say the nutrients in a cup of juice are highly concentrated, which means you don’t have to drink a large volume in order to get the nutritional benefits.

Blenders create hunger-satisfying smoothies that are thicker and packed with fiber, which will help you feel full longer. Because what you put into the blender comes out, blenders let you add in a variety of ingredients like yogurt, protein powder and ice to provide advanced nutrition and flavor in your smoothie. Blenders not only give you the flexibility to create different beverages like icy drinks, shakes, and smoothies, but also nut butters, dressings and more!

Which is better?

Now that you know what each appliance can create, you may be wondering which is better – a blender or a juicer? In reality, both are great ways to increase the nutritional content of your diet by introducing more fruits and vegetables. Selecting the one that fits best into your lifestyle is the true key to success. Do you want to ward off hunger by drinking nutrient-rich smoothies packed with fiber and enhanced with nut butters or yogurt? A blender will best suit your needs. Or, do you want a nutrient-dense beverage packed with more fruits and vegetables than you could even think about eating in a day? A juicer is going to give you the results you need. Ultimately, you can’t go wrong with either one – it’s all about the end product and your nutrition goals.
