Totally agree with you Kristina. Juice in the morning and smoothies throughout the day. This doesn't mean that we are ignoring fiber as I can get plenty of fiber throughout the rest of the day. Cucumbers, carrots, apples and some greens don't cost an arm and a leg to juice so I'm not too worried about "wasting"money. It all is an investment into good health.
I love both, but when I juice I feel like I'm tossing food out (the fiber) and I don't feel as full. I'm a bigger guy, so one of your 32 oz smoothies are more fulfilling.
I like both! Especially citrus juices and celery, but not mixed lol. Only way to go with smoothies is with a base of coconut water, hemp milk, or almond milk if you want a nutty taste great for breakfast. Don't forget to add extra stuff like Glutamine and some granola for fiber
Sacha Saint-Cyr blending lowers the concentration of Nutritional value , so juice first then add pulp for fiber (Calcium is the exception , you’ll get more calcium if you blend
Thank you so much for making the distinction between the two! I too was under the impression that smoothies were healthier due to their fiber content. It was fascinating to think of blenders as essentially "chewing" the food in a way that we cannot, making the nutrients more available to the body. It definitely increases my inclination toward smoothies.
I was struggling to get calories so now i make a calorie rich smoothie each day after i have my juice for breakfast! doing well on fully raw. almost 100% now
DAY 3 Recipe is the FULLYRAW AVOCADO MANGO NOODLE SALAD here: www.fullyraw.com/challenge_recipe/the-fullyraw-mango-noodle-avocado-salad/ ... Who's hungry?! This is one of my FAVORITE dishes of ALL time! Enjoy!
Amazing how you can feel the difference immediately when eating/drinking raw., the life (enzymes) feels like a iddy biddy electric 'buzz' of energy all over. Life! :- )
So excited...I'm a smoothie girl. I have a blendtec at home..I would like to have a slow juicer..for now I have a jacklalannes juicer ..but I don't juice very often in it fearing of losing nutrients. Thanks for what u do.. U look gorgeous in today's outfit :)

I've only done smoothies, I've never juice and do not own a juicer. A juicer seems really expensive for the machine plus making juice is costly, so I've not made the investment. I love my vitamix.
smoothies are yummy, but i prefer juices! they are so fresh and i love the sweet flavors to them! smoothies can get a little too thick for me sometimes, but juices never gets too thick or gooey! i love seeing your colorful recipes
Kristina, I can’t wait to become a raw vegan! After over a decade of failing at being vegan, I have finally successfully done it! I have been a vegan for 3 months. I’m so happy. I don’t miss meat. I’ve only craved it twice. I feel so healthy and alive. I’ve lost so much weight and am no longer bloated. Thank you for being a great help and inspiration. Your videos are very helpful 🙏🏾
I love making green smoothies, but, am going to start introducing juicing daily, too. This was very informative. I really enjoy all your videos. I feel so much better eating a mainly plant-based diet, with very little sugar, gluten and dairy. I drink hemp, almond, coconut and/or cashew milk. It is exciting to see how much more energy and vitality I have since I started eating more healthy. Thanks for all your videos. (Love your jewelry!!)
Both. Ginger, tumeric and lemon shot in the juicer with a hint of black pepper. Breakfast is a carrot, celery, mint, apple, ginger and cucumber juice. Lunch is a smoothie with kale, berries, mango, flaxseeds, amla powder. Dinner a cooked vegan meal, job done!😆
Would love to do juices, but considering I can only afford the cheapest of blenders, I will be happy with smoothies for now. I have Crohn's, so having a gentle way to get fibre in me via smoothies is great for me... although I would really love to do juices when I'm going through a flare and really need to get a nutritional punch, considering I have had a section of bowel removed and my absorption is really poor.
I've been juicing for breakfast for the last 10weeks, and never felt better, more energised and light :) Haven't tried smoothies as yet, but after your video now- will do for sure !:0 Thank YOU Kristina !
I listened to this on my way to work and just having someones voice talk to happily and freely about fruits and veg is so refreshing! chic you are AWESOME
I love spinach smoothies. When you process it in a high speed blender for a couple minutes with fruit and water, it releases the naturally occurring thylakoids, which coat food and block the enzymatic insulin reaction in the stomach and allows the food to stay in tact until it reaches the intestines, where it can be processed as energy instead of stored as fat. Like a natural version of gastric bypass surgery.
I personally love both juices and smoothies. Juices can be so delicious and hydrating and smoothies are great if you wake up hungry or need more fiber that day
Great point about "chewing" and letting the smoothie/juice mingle with the saliva. So important but didn't even cross my mind. I'm going to do a 60 Day Reboot a la Joe Cross's "Fat, Sick and nearly Dead 1 & 2". The reboot is undeniable and I already love smoothies with kale, celery, pears, carrots etc and the fiber fills me up. BUT...I need that initial weight lose motivation that juicing will provide. I can already tell moving to a 70/30 raw to animal protein diet will be easily sustainable. As much as I am a carnivore, I enjoy fibrous smoothies just as much and they are very satisfying. I'm buying a juicer because I don't own one yet but I have a standard Oster 12 speed all steel drive blender and IT MINCES EVERYTHING! I cut watermelon into chunks and it liquifies it quite effectively. So, if any of your fans are on a tight budget, the Oster blender (with the glass carafe) does a great job and goes for between $27 to $37. Also, clean up is sooo quick because you're using just about all of it. Thank you Kristina and keep up the great work!
There are nutrients bound to the fiber. Quite a significant number of nutrients are lost in the juicing process, what a waste. And why promote such a thing when the people are seriously lacking in fiber? 97% of americans are not getting the daily recommended intake of fiber!
+jbmop yes many people lack fiber but fiber is not hard to add to ones diet. when you juice a plant you are literally making a extract. It is very potent much more than just throwing it in a blender. They both by far are worth doing and have their place.
+WaterspoutsOfTheDeep In which case is it worthwhile? You're wasting fiber, and much of what you paid for. In either case, you can get more than enough nutrients with a proper balance of whole foods like greens, other vegetables, berries, other fruit etc.
jbmop You are not wasting what you paid for. You are getting an extract. You'll feel less full but you;ll absorb more nutrients compared to if you blended it. I've heard upwards of 4-8 times better absorption. Yes you are wasting fiber but that is like saying you are wasting air. It's pretty plentiful. Like I said getting fiber in ones diet is not hard. Also it is much easier to get therapudic levels of nutrients in you juicing. You have extract pounds and pounds of produce and be able to consume it which you wouldn't be able to if you just ate or blended the produce. That is why juicing is far superior for health purposes. A person can eat a apple easily and or something else for fiber. But you don't have a juicer you can always blend your stuff extremely well then pour it in a jelly bag, or clean paint strainer bag or old pillow case and squeeze out the liquid. Juicing is a lot more work but is by far worth it if you are dealing with health issues.
I must say i always though smoothies was more healthy. I was very suprised from what you learned us here, thank you so much :) now that being said, its mush more expensive to make juice :/ but i actually like juices better, but mAke them very rare! Because i though smoothies was muuuuch better. But we're always learning new things in life, and I love it :D
Wow, I underestimated the benefits of juicing. Thank you. I think I must stick with smoothies for now, at least until I can afford a juicer and more quality produce to fill me up on juices.
KRISTINA! You and Marcus Rothkranz have been a big motivation on myself and my beautiful girlfriend. We are young couple, I'm only 20 years myself. Health has been an enormous concern to us, but seems very daunting to comprehend. You make learning raw vegan, eating raw vegan, and living raw vegan easy to understand and enjoyable. The quality and knowledge of each video is surreal, incredible! We enjoy ever new video you produce, grasping all knowledge we can. From our wellbeing, we thank you! #FullyRawKristina #MarcusRothkranz #EatTheWeeds #Vegan #Healthy #Betterliving
Me personally, juicing! Smoothies aren’t bad either depending on how you feeling. But I just don’t like having to chew and drink at the same time. it’s just frustrating to me when my purpose is to get all the nutrients fast. but I guess overall of what I’m trying to say is, Its comfortable for me to just drink it straight without feeling so frustrated having to chew and drink. -_-“
I admire the way you give a professional presentation. You add enough information to have credibility. Many or most of your recipes look so good. I called my sister to look at your recipe for the layered cake. Fantastic !!!
I prefer smoothies on a daily basis. I tend to drink juices if I feel like I am going to be sick or when I want to just give my body a break. I make sure to still consume 2000 calories worth of juice. :)
Wonderful Video!!! Luv that pretty sparkly blue top on U... Topic Beautifully Covered!!! I started out with a Juiceman Juicer years ago, used it a lot, then just quit... Never had anyone share my enthusiasm!!! Then in 2011 I got a Nutri-Bullet, for seeing David Wolfe's infomercial... Loved the film "Food Matters", where I was first introduced to David Wolf. As with my Juicer, I used the Nutri-Bullet a lot in the beginning but No One Shared my Enthusiasm, & the Next Thing I Knew I'd quit again... Back to Eggs, Toast, Butter, & Jam for Breakfast, & Back to Weight Piling On, Depression, None of my Cute Clothes Fitting, etc.! Lately, I'm finding Health Concious People Online, so the Juicer & Nutra-Bullet are BACK!!! Love that U use BOTH, instead of just one or the other!!! Love U'r Soul Shine Juice & Look forward to Experimenting w/ more of U'r Recipes!!!! Also, I tried U'r "BANANA NICE CREAM"... AWESOME!!! Now I don't feel deprived for giving up Dairy!!!! HOORAY!!! U'r "The Best"!!! xoxo ❤ Constance in Berkeley, CA
I love both! But I'm definitely with you on having a juice in the morning :) I can't stomach a smoothie that early in the day haha. But both are equally great for different reasons. Thank you for this informative video Kristina :)
I kept looking the whole vido at you,re hair. It so long,shiney and so pretty. I love both, but i,ve never had a juice. Not once in my life. But i realy love to own both but juicers are so expensive😭😭😭😭😭😭. I can give you three yeah baby,s. Yeah baby,yeah baby yeah baby. Hhahah Austin Powers. I love you,re fully raw recipes and channel,s. Spread the vegan love yeah baby. Sorry five yeah baby,s😊✌🏽👍🏼😊😊😊😊😊👋🏼
Wow, Kristina! You are gorgeous! ;) Whoa, that was creepy... I meant, those flowers in the background are gorgeous! I'm subscribing on youtube and following you on Facebook. Do you have a Twitter or Pinterest? Also, are you in Hawaii or Miami or somewhere tropical/subtropical?? Asking 'cause of the flowers. Nothing like those in the American midwest.
I would NEVER go fully raw. I simply LOVE hot foods too much, like soups or stews on cold, rainy days or chilli with piping hot buttermilk cornbread on cold winter nights. Plus raw, organically grown foods are WAY too expensive. I do love both juices and smoothies, though. A strawberry banana smoothie is my all-time favorite. I'm also thinking of trying the Watermelon Juice Cleanse, once they're in season.
Juicing is a LOT more expensive - My favorite juice is six cups of spinach, a cup of kale, three carrots, two cucumbers, a lemon, and an apple. I wish I wish I wish I could get used to smoothies, but it's a consistency thing - I just don't care for the texture. Maybe when I can afford fancy Vitamix... :)
Smoothies fill you up, are healthy, easy to make, cheap... Juice doesn't even compete although it's obvious you prefer juice as you make WAYYYYY more juices than smoothies on your channel
Yeah, Baby! After owning and rtidding myself of several juicers, I gotta go with smoothies and salute the late Gypsy Boots and The Nature Boys for bringing it on. Easy, healthy, and practical. Gotta have that fiber!
Kristina I use a Breville juicer for my carrots and beets juicing and I love my Breville because it works well and I LOVE MY VITA MIX. Just bought a new one the old one burned up with smoke coming out of it. But, used it faithfully for 10 years I know some last 20 years but the 10 years before it never got used at all. One never should have an appliance and not use it as I did. Thank you for all that you do. I want and need to do more.
I'm on Team Smoothie lol. My body needs something it can digest at it's own pace, instead of BAM! juicing lol. P.S. Vitamix are super pricey. Any cheaper suggestions? :)
Again a great video. My favorite juice is beet-carrot-orange-apple and my favorite smoothie strawberry-banana. Here is a question: How do you use the leftover pulp after juicing? Thx.
I just told someone on a LinkedIn chat about this video. Someone else told her (to her question, which is better) that the juice of fruits should NEVER be consumed by humans. The nonsense I hear MECs say is mind boggling. Hopefully she found you!
I wish I had a juicer 😔 but I do have a blender and I LOVE smoothies! Except having a juicer would be awesome because I could make myself juice and have something else with it for breakfast!
I think a combination of both are your best bet. Ive done both, but if i had to choose one, or the other it would be smoothies, without a doubt. FullyRawKristina said it best in the Vid, that smoothies are more of a COMPLETE food. You can add nuts, seeds, soft fruit, like bananas, and avocados. Juicing reminds me of a very expensive, rush, or quick high, coffee. A smoothie diet, is a well balanced, slow release, diverse diet. Juicing is one demential. Not only that, if you where to stay on juicing for an extended period of time you will have to start doing enemas, b/c you will not have normal/regular bowel movements, b/c of lack of bulk Your body will also be full of toxins do to lack of elimination. She said in the vid, that "smoothies aren't all that natural either" I would think that many years ago before blenders, and juicers that people could still masticate their fruits, and veggies without a blender. I've done it by mashing my fruits, and veggies by had, and adding a liquid. I'm quite sure I'm not the first to do that.
I just discovered your video and really enjoyed watching it. May I ask what you normally use for the liquid for smoothies? Coconut water, almond milk, water? I also loved your bracelets and rings. May I ask where you had bought them from? Thank you!
All the Fiber is not Gone from Juicing? You missed the class on Soluble and insoluable Fiber! Great Information! Any person doing Juicing or Blending has both machines in their Kitchen-Lab! Herbalistsolutions.com
I love both juices & smoothies. I wish produce was less expensive, because I would try more juices if they were. Mostly, I do smoothies, because they're more economical, & because there is less mess & clean-up involved.
Smoothies are far better. Juice has no fiber. Fiber regulates glucose levels from elevating. I’m quite strongly against juicing… It’s like cutting your credit card in half expecting it to work
Kristina I would love to juice more but can't afford a juicer for the veggies like kale ,broccoli, spinach, collards, beets, carrots so I mainly do smoothies they are quick and easy and ready to go plus mmmmmmmgood a faithful follower Love you👍😄😄😆
I'm a huge fan of banana, blueberry, cinnamon, and almond smoothies. Juice wise success wild: two lemons, two pares, two apples, a head of celery, and a cucumber.
I love both of them but I prefer smoothies :) I drink juices ocassionally - I am sorry to just throw away the pulp... and you need more fruits and veggies :/
I've always done smoothies, but I'd like to give juicing a try. Can smoothies and juices be made ahead of time to save in the fridge and take to work? Or is it better to haul my blender to work with me and blend at lunch time? Ideally I'd like something fast, healthy, and easily portable for lunch.
I prefer smoothies because juicing IS so expensive.. In the past, I've used my juicer more for medicinal purposes. It's more of a luxury when used otherwise. Thx for all of the tips!
I prefer smoothies because they are tasty. The juicer has a lot of benefits but it is more time consuming and messy and harder to clean up. In the am I love to soak 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for about 15 minutes with one cup of distilled water, add about three frozen bananas, frozen or fresh fruits like grapes, any fruits. Then I add some, no no, Muscle Milk powder - 2 scoops, and top it off with one or more cups of coconut water. If you don't have a strong blender just let your frozen fruits soak for a few minutes or your blender might die. Also, if you don't have frozen fruit just add some ice to make it cold. All in all it is a good idea to have both a great juicer and blender. Do not waste your money on the magic bullet or the ninjas!
I personally like Juice over smoothies. I have it stuck in my head that a smoothie has to be like a frappucino at Starbucks. I'm working hard to change those preconceived notions, but untill then, Juicing it is :-D
Totally agree with you Kristina. Juice in the morning and smoothies throughout the day. This doesn't mean that we are ignoring fiber as I can get plenty of fiber throughout the rest of the day. Cucumbers, carrots, apples and some greens don't cost an arm and a leg to juice so I'm not too worried about "wasting"money. It all is an investment into good health.
or smoothies in the morning for the fiber, if you wanna poop. Then juice for the rest of the day. Simple

Ok you guys....tell me YOUR favorite! Which is better?? Juices or smoothies?! Please share with me why below! :)
I love both, but when I juice I feel like I'm tossing food out (the fiber) and I don't feel as full. I'm a bigger guy, so one of your 32 oz smoothies are more fulfilling.
I love juices because its gives me the extra boost of energy in the morning!!
LOVE both.. altho some fruits I find goes better juiced and vice versa
I like both! Especially citrus juices and celery, but not mixed lol. Only way to go with smoothies is with a base of coconut water, hemp milk, or almond milk if you want a nutty taste great for breakfast. Don't forget to add extra stuff like Glutamine and some granola for fiber
Both. I can't choose between juices and smoothies. They both are so great!
have a 300$ juicer but finding smoothies in a 20$ blender is working better for me haha.
JUICE and then use the pulp filtered out and make a SMOOTHIE. Best of both.
Justice Understanding thats what i do bro
Justice Understanding why the extra step and not just make the smoothie 🍉🍊 ? Or it the pulp to make other meals or broth?
Sacha Saint-Cyr blending lowers the concentration of Nutritional value , so juice first then add pulp for fiber (Calcium is the exception , you’ll get more calcium if you blend
That’s too much work just blend it
I prefer smoothies

Very informative. Thanks Kristina!
Juicer can make more nutrition but blender can make smoothies more fiber. I think blender is easy to clean convenient for rush time in the morning.
I love this video because there is so much debate around both juicing and smoothies. I do both and love them both. Your insight was spot ON!!!!

Kristina, I can’t wait to become a raw vegan! After over a decade of failing at being vegan, I have finally successfully done it! I have been a vegan for 3 months. I’m so happy. I don’t miss meat.

Hello Kristina!! I Enjoy Juices & Smoothies!! :)
I have a tendency to crash and need a nap after having a juice.
Both. Ginger, tumeric and lemon shot in the juicer with a hint of black pepper. Breakfast is a carrot, celery, mint, apple, ginger and cucumber juice. Lunch is a smoothie with kale, berries, mango, flaxseeds, amla powder. Dinner a cooked vegan meal, job done!😆
8 days water fasting, than 90 days juicing, than 90 days smoothie its absolutely amazing. Than fully raw food forever ♥
Olivia Cullen what’s your Instagram? I’m doing the 100 day juice fast & I would like some input of which recipes work for me. 😊
And stay away from urban areas !
I bet you're not raw vegan anymore lol
@@nuaso7143 What? Urban areas?
I think a good cleanse would be juice, smoothie, juice, smoothie. BTW....how long after a smoothie to digest before drinking a juice? Maybe 3ish hrs?
Love smoothies! Love juices! Smoothies are so filling. Juices are so sweet and clean. Such a hard pick!

Doesn't any leafy greens do that tho?

Thanks for the advice! I've been wondering about the health of juices
I'm listening to my body and drinking a liter of juice for lunch and it's amazing! I love juice!
Wow, I underestimated the benefits of juicing. Thank you. I think I must stick with smoothies for now, at least until I can afford a juicer and more quality produce to fill me up on juices.
KRISTINA! You and Marcus Rothkranz have been a big motivation on myself and my beautiful girlfriend. We are young couple, I'm only 20 years myself. Health has been an enormous concern to us, but seems very daunting to comprehend.
You make learning raw vegan, eating raw vegan, and living raw vegan easy to understand and enjoyable. The quality and knowledge of each video is surreal, incredible! We enjoy ever new video you produce, grasping all knowledge we can. From our wellbeing, we thank you!

Juices and smoothies ;)
So excited to start my fully raw lifestyle☺️
Two days in
Thanks for this video, it's so informative! I love both juices and smoothies too :)
I love smoothies & make them
Everyday 😄 if I need a quick energy boost, I'll make a juice 😄
Me personally, juicing! Smoothies aren’t bad either depending on how you feeling. But I just don’t like having to chew and drink at the same time. it’s just frustrating to me when my purpose is to get all the nutrients fast. but I guess overall of what I’m trying to say is, Its comfortable for me to just drink it straight without feeling so frustrated having to chew and drink. -_-“
I admire the way you give a professional presentation. You add enough information
to have credibility. Many or most of your recipes look so good. I called my sister to
look at your recipe for the layered cake. Fantastic !!!
I prefer smoothies on a daily basis. I tend to drink juices if I feel like I am going to be sick or when I want to just give my body a break. I make sure to still consume 2000 calories worth of juice. :)
I like having a smoothie for breakfast... fills me up and gets me going!
I got inspired by u n start to take raw fruits n veg... In form of juice n smoothies... Thankyou ...
MISS PRERNA.....
Wonderful Video!!!
Luv that pretty sparkly blue top on U...
Topic Beautifully Covered!!!
I started out with a Juiceman Juicer years ago, used it a lot, then just quit...
Never had anyone share my enthusiasm!!!
Then in 2011 I got a Nutri-Bullet, for seeing
David Wolfe's infomercial... Loved the film
"Food Matters", where I was first introduced to David Wolf. As with my Juicer, I used
the Nutri-Bullet a lot in the beginning but
No One Shared my Enthusiasm, & the Next Thing I Knew I'd quit again... Back to Eggs, Toast, Butter, & Jam for Breakfast, & Back to Weight Piling On, Depression, None of my Cute Clothes Fitting, etc.!
Lately, I'm finding Health Concious People Online, so the Juicer & Nutra-Bullet are BACK!!! Love that U use BOTH, instead of just one or the other!!! Love U'r Soul Shine Juice & Look forward to Experimenting w/ more of U'r Recipes!!!! Also, I tried U'r
"BANANA NICE CREAM"... AWESOME!!!
Now I don't feel deprived for giving up Dairy!!!!
HOORAY!!!
U'r "The Best"!!!
xoxo ❤ Constance in Berkeley, CA
I’ve learn to live both. I’ll alternate between the two. Yeah baby!!
I find the smoothies to be quite satisfying, especially for breakfast. I was surprised that I was NOT hungry. AWESOME. I still love juices though
I love both! But I'm definitely with you on having a juice in the morning :) I can't stomach a smoothie that early in the day haha. But both are equally great for different reasons. Thank you for this informative video Kristina :)
I kept looking the whole vido at you,re hair. It so long,shiney and so pretty. I love both, but i,ve never had a juice. Not once in my life. But i realy love to own both but juicers are so expensive😭😭😭😭😭😭. I can give you three yeah baby,s. Yeah baby,yeah baby yeah baby. Hhahah Austin Powers. I love you,re fully raw recipes and channel,s. Spread the vegan love yeah baby. Sorry five yeah baby,s😊✌🏽👍🏼😊😊😊😊😊👋🏼
Wow, Kristina! You are gorgeous! ;)
Whoa, that was creepy...
I meant, those flowers in the background are gorgeous!
I'm subscribing on youtube and following you on Facebook. Do you have a Twitter or Pinterest?
Also, are you in Hawaii or Miami or somewhere tropical/subtropical?? Asking 'cause of the flowers. Nothing like those in the American midwest.
One of the best explanations on both processes. I like a nice balance of both myself.
I would NEVER go fully raw. I simply LOVE hot foods too much, like soups or stews on cold, rainy days or chilli with piping hot buttermilk cornbread on cold winter nights. Plus raw, organically grown foods are WAY too expensive. I do love both juices and smoothies, though. A strawberry banana smoothie is my all-time favorite. I'm also thinking of trying the Watermelon Juice Cleanse, once they're in season.
Juicing is a LOT more expensive - My favorite juice is six cups of spinach, a cup of kale, three carrots, two cucumbers, a lemon, and an apple.
I wish I wish I wish I could get used to smoothies, but it's a consistency thing - I just don't care for the texture.
Maybe when I can afford fancy Vitamix... :)
Smoothies fill you up, are healthy, easy to make, cheap...
Juice doesn't even compete although it's obvious you prefer juice as you make WAYYYYY more juices than smoothies on your channel
Yeah, Baby! After owning and rtidding myself of several juicers, I gotta go with smoothies and salute the late Gypsy Boots and The Nature Boys for bringing it on. Easy, healthy, and practical. Gotta have that fiber!
Kristina I use a Breville juicer for my carrots and beets juicing and I love my Breville because it works well and I LOVE MY VITA MIX. Just bought a new one the old one burned up with smoke coming out of it. But, used it faithfully for 10 years I know some last 20 years but the 10 years before it never got used at all. One never should have an appliance and not use it as I did. Thank you for all that you do. I want and need to do more.
I'm on Team Smoothie lol. My body needs something it can digest at it's own pace, instead of BAM! juicing lol. P.S. Vitamix are super pricey. Any cheaper suggestions? :)
I make juices with vegetables and spinach and blend the fruits and then mix both before eating.
Again a great video. My favorite juice is beet-carrot-orange-apple and my favorite smoothie strawberry-banana. Here is a question: How do you use the leftover pulp after juicing? Thx.
I just told someone on a LinkedIn chat about this video. Someone else told her (to her question, which is better) that the juice of fruits should NEVER be consumed by humans. The nonsense I hear MECs say is mind boggling. Hopefully she found you!
I wish I had a juicer 😔 but I do have a blender and I LOVE smoothies! Except having a juicer would be awesome because I could make myself juice and have something else with it for breakfast!
I think a combination of both are your best bet. Ive done both, but if i had to choose one, or the other it would be smoothies, without a doubt. FullyRawKristina said it best in the Vid, that smoothies are more of a COMPLETE food. You can add nuts, seeds, soft fruit, like bananas, and avocados. Juicing reminds me of a very expensive, rush, or quick high, coffee. A smoothie diet, is a well balanced, slow release, diverse diet. Juicing is one demential. Not only that, if you where to stay on juicing for an extended period of time you will have to start doing enemas, b/c you will not have normal/regular bowel movements, b/c of lack of bulk Your body will also be full of toxins do to lack of elimination. She said in the vid, that "smoothies aren't all that natural either" I would think that many years ago before blenders, and juicers that people could still masticate their fruits, and veggies without a blender. I've done it by mashing my fruits, and veggies by had, and adding a liquid. I'm quite sure I'm not the first to do that.
I just discovered your video and really enjoyed watching it. May I ask what you normally use for the liquid for smoothies? Coconut water, almond milk, water? I also loved your bracelets and rings. May I ask where you had bought them from? Thank you!
Very honest and authentic. Fruit juice does spike blood sugar levels. I blend mostly but also juice leafy green vegetables cucumbers and lemons.
All the Fiber is not Gone from Juicing? You missed the class on Soluble and insoluable Fiber! Great Information! Any person doing Juicing or Blending has both machines in their Kitchen-Lab! Herbalistsolutions.com
I love both juices & smoothies. I wish produce was less expensive, because I would try more juices if they were. Mostly, I do smoothies, because they're more economical, & because there is less mess & clean-up involved.
Our juicer doesn't arrive until tomorrow, but I love your FullyRaw Juices...and I Love smoothies!!!
Smoothies are far better. Juice has no fiber. Fiber regulates glucose levels from elevating. I’m quite strongly against juicing… It’s like cutting your credit card in half expecting it to work
Kristina I would love to juice more but can't afford a juicer for the veggies like kale ,broccoli, spinach, collards, beets, carrots so I mainly do smoothies they are quick and easy and ready to go plus mmmmmmmgood a faithful follower Love you👍😄😄😆
Thank-you for explicitly stating that banana and avocado are not-fit for juicing. I had been wondering that. Cheers.
WOW!!!!! Excellent and Educational ... Thanks so, so much for ALL you share! :)
I love juices but my juicer isn't great. We recently bought a Vitamix (about a month ago) so we've been making smoothies with frozen and fresh fruit.
I'm a huge fan of banana, blueberry, cinnamon, and almond smoothies. Juice wise success wild: two lemons, two pares, two apples, a head of celery, and a cucumber.
I love both of them but I prefer smoothies :) I drink juices ocassionally - I am sorry to just throw away the pulp... and you need more fruits and veggies :/
Yyhhhh baby!! Most informative, thanks for sharing. Im going with the blender (more versatile). Thanks!
I've always done smoothies, but I'd like to give juicing a try. Can smoothies and juices be made ahead of time to save in the fridge and take to work? Or is it better to haul my blender to work with me and blend at lunch time? Ideally I'd like something fast, healthy, and easily portable for lunch.
I prefer smoothies because juicing IS so expensive.. In the past, I've used my juicer more for medicinal purposes. It's more of a luxury when used otherwise. Thx for all of the tips!
I prefer smoothies because they are tasty. The juicer has a lot of benefits but it is more time consuming and messy and harder to clean up. In the am I love to soak 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for about 15 minutes with one cup of distilled water, add about three frozen bananas, frozen or fresh fruits like grapes, any fruits. Then I add some, no no, Muscle Milk powder - 2 scoops, and top it off with one or more cups of coconut water. If you don't have a strong blender just let your frozen fruits soak for a few minutes or your blender might die. Also, if you don't have frozen fruit just add some ice to make it cold. All in all it is a good idea to have both a great juicer and blender. Do not waste your money on the magic bullet or the ninjas!
I personally like Juice over smoothies. I have it stuck in my head that a smoothie has to be like a frappucino at Starbucks. I'm working hard to change those preconceived notions, but untill then, Juicing it is :-D
