Juicers and blenders not only allow you to experiment with a range of fruits and
vegetables for all sorts of recipes, such as cocktails, smoothies, and juices, but
they also make it easy to add more vitamins and nutrients to your diet. For this reason, we highly
recommend getting either a juicer or a blender for your kitchen. The million-dollar question,
however, is: which one do I get? The juicer or the blender? In this video, we will be tackling
the different uses and benefits of both machines so you can make the best purchasing decision.
Difference between juicing and blending How they handle fruits and vegetables is where
a juicer and a blender most significantly diverge. Juicers remove the pulp, skin,
and other components from fruits and vegetables, leaving only the juice s thin liquid behind. On
the other hand, all components, including the pulp, are processed and combined in blenders
to create richer drinks like smoothies. In a nutshell, juicers only extract juice
when blenders can handle a wider range of kitchen applications, such as crushing ice,
finely pureeing ingredients, and making rich, creamy smoothies. Aside from this,
juicers tend to have only one speed, while blenders have multiple speed options.
Benefits of juicing If you re not keen on eating
your fair share of fruits and vegetables, then a juicer makes it easy to consume more of them in
your diet. With one glass of juice, you can pretty much get all your daily nutrients and vitamins in
without breaking a sweat. Additionally, juices go down your throat easier since none of the
pulp and fibers are present. Benefits of blending
The main benefit of getting a blender would definitely be its versatility. You can use
your blender for more than just creating drinks and smoothies. Sauces, purees, soups, and pastes
are only some of the things you can whip up using a blender. So, a blender is an excellent choice
if you need a multifunctional kitchen tool that can be used for more than just mixing beverages.
Which is healthier? Ultimately, fruit and veggie drinks are
so much healthier when consumed with all the fiber and pulp that they come with. Fiber does not only
counteract the sugar in fruits and vegetables but also provides you with digestive benefits
and protection against many chronic illnesses. That being said, blenders are a much healthier
option compared to juicers. However, it must be noted that juicers make good options for
people who want to start consuming more fruits and vegetables but aren t yet accustomed to the taste
and texture of blended smoothies. Which is cheaper?
Although it isn t necessarily the case that all blenders are cheaper than juicers, you will be
able to find more cost-effective options for blenders than juicers in general. With plenty of
price points and styles to choose from, a beginner should be able to find a juicer or blender that
suits their needs and budget perfectly. However, if you really want to save money,
entry-level blenders are the way to go. Which is easier to use?
Most blenders don t have as many parts as their juicer counterparts,
which makes them easier to use and clean. With fewer removable parts to assemble and dismantle,
you ll be better off making a smoothie than a glass of juice in the morning before work.
It goes without saying, however, that it all comes down to how much work you re
willing to put up with. If you really love the texture of cleanly juiced fruits and veggies,
then we re sure it s well worth it to pull out the juicer and clean it afterward.
How do they taste different? In general, smoothies are much richer,
creamier, and frothier. This makes for an amusing beverage to drink in the morning, with all the
different textures improving the smoothie s mouthfeel. Juices, on the other hand, are very
clean-tasting and easier to drink in one go. The bottom line is that however way you want
to consume your fruits and vegetables in the morning, both juicers and blenders provide
you with good-tasting results packed with plenty of nutrients and vitamins.
Which option should you choose? Finally, we can now answer the main question of
this video - which option should you purchase? If you re fond of rich, creamy smoothies,
we highly recommend getting a blender. On the flip side, if you re not keen on all the fiber
and pulp that fruits and veggies come with, then you re going to enjoy a juicer much more.
Additionally, blenders are easier to clean in general compared to their juicer counterparts.
If you find that you re always pressed for time in the morning and evenings before and after work,
then a blender might be your better option. Lastly, for the truly health-conscious people
out there, you might want to choose a blender for its superior benefits compared to the juicer. A
lot of health improvements can be reaped, after all, with all the pulp and fiber that the fruits
and veggies come with. If again, you re not too keen on the taste of fiber in your mouth,
a juicer will make for a great beginner option for adding fruits and greens to your diet.
After reading all this, if you ve decided on buying a juicer, then this is our
recommendation for you. Breville Juicer
The Breville Juicer boasts a sleek, minimal design that makes it look like it could be
something pulled out of a trendy, third-wave juice bar. Thanks to its minimal footprint, it will also

for making juices, and it does so very well. With a titanium-reinforced
disc and an Italian-made micro mesh filter basket that is made out of stainless steel,
this juicer is pretty much designed for optimum juice and nutrient extraction.
We would also like to highlight that the Breville Juicer boasts a 1,000-watt motor that can spin up
to a whopping 13,000 revolutions per minute. As a result, this can yield up to 30 percent more juice
than traditional juicers. In addition to this, there are over 40,000 filtering pores that ensure
smooth and delicious results every time. Aside from this, its unique 3-inch extra
wide chute feed allows you to juice whole fruits and vegetables without pre-cutting.
This provides you with more time to get other things prepped in the morning before work.
Lastly, the juicer cover, stainless steel filter bowl, puree disc, and juice jug are all safe to
go into your dishwasher, so you can rest assured you re not going to clean everything by hand.
On the other hand, if you ve decided on getting a blender, then we also have a great
recommendation for you. Ninja Blender
