Juicing is a full-fledged movement.<\/p>\r\n

A lot of it has to do with the Internet and social media. We repeatedly hear that we don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) says we should eat between 5 to 13 servings daily.<\/p>\r\n

It’s why the juicing industry has grown into a $9 billion annual industry worldwide. It accounts for $2.2 billion in the United States alone.<\/p>\r\n

With all this newfound interest in juicing comes some confusion. Some people think that they can juice fruits and vegetables in their blender. Or that they can buy a juicer to make a daily smoothie for breakfast.<\/p>\r\n

The appliances to make juices and smoothies are not the same. There’s a big difference between a juicer and a blender and you need to know the difference.<\/p>\r\n

Juicers:<\/strong> A juicer is an appliance that extracts liquid from produce. The remaining solids are discarded. The most efficient methods leave no pulp or fiber. You end up with concentrated, pure nutrition. It’s quick to drink and easy to digest.<\/p>\r\n

Blenders:<\/strong> Blenders do more than extract juice from produce. They mix and emulsify fruits and vegetables, along with other ingredients into a healthy drink. There’s nothing to discard. Blenders can incorporate ice and other ingredients into a healthy drink. It’s a more versatile appliance.<\/p>\r\n
