The Healthy Living Trend: Setting the Record Straight About the Juicing vs. Blending

Here’s a question we would like you to answer. If given the choice, do you want to shift to following a healthier and more balanced diet?

If your answer is yes, then you are among the 99 percent of Filipinos who show interest in improving their eating habits, at least according to a report by the Food Industry Asia.

Of the consumers surveyed, some respondents shared that eating more fruits and vegetables is part of the list of their healthy eating habits. Fortunately for us, our country is among those that have a wide variety of dishes that use vegetables. In terms of fruit, the Philippines is also known for having some of the best produce in the world.

If you’re one of those who wants to add more vegetables and fruit to their diet but want to explore different ways of consuming them, then juicing is definitely something that you can try. It’s the perfect option if you want to consume more fruits and vegetables because you can easily combine multiple of them in a glass of drink or two. But first, let’s talk about the difference between juicing vs. blending, two ways you can prepare your favorite nutritious drinks.

The Deets About Blending

Did you know that there are distinct differences between juicing and blending processes? Though they may seem similar at first, blending involves the grinding of ingredients including the fiber in them. The result you can get from blenders has the consistency of smoothies and shakes because you include all the processed fibers from the fruits and vegetables.

One example of a top-tier blender in the market at present is The Fresh & Furious® from Breville Philippines. With a Kinetix® Blade and Bowl-Hugging System, this blender from the premium kitchen provider produces a smooth consistency of drinks by making sure that no ingredients are trapped in the bottom of the bowl.

What makes it really stand out from the market, however, is its very own Green Smoothie one-touch versatility which is an already pre-programmed function that can turn your green ingredients into the smoothest juice ever. The Fresh & Furious® also has other presets for mixing, chopping, blending, pureeing, and pulsing.

Juice It Right!

Juicing, on the other hand, follows an entirely different process and provides a different result from blending. Unlike using blenders, juicers extract all the liquid and nutrients from your ingredients, removing all the insoluble fiber that is present in the usual blended smoothies. The result that you get is a more liquid type of drink packed with nutrients that are more easily absorbed by our digestive system. According to an article in MayoClinic.org, juicing is ideal for people with certain health conditions because it gives the gut a break from digesting fiber. However, it is important to note to cut back on fiber unless recommended by a health care professional because it still plays a key role to our digestive health.

If you’re looking for a good juicer, you can add The Juice Fountain™ Max from Breville to your kitchen must-haves. Another revolutionary product from the brand, this unit can process whole fruits in seconds thanks to its Titanium-reinforced Nutri Disc™ blades. The Juice Fountain™ Max is also a standout appliance because it can extract up to 30 percent more juice and up to 70 percent more nutrients compared to other juicers in the market. This juicer is also very easy to clean thanks to its Italian micro mesh filter and froth separator.

So, juicing or blending? Whatever your choice is, both are perfect methods to explore different ways to enjoy your fruits and vegetables. Start to #JuiceRight now by choosing the best option that will suit your taste and needs.
