Juicing vs. Blending

Have you ever thought of pros and cons of juicing and blending? It's simple.

Juicing-Quick and efficient absorption of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients into blood stream, requires more fruits/veggies, less fiber, spike in blood sugar if lot of fruits are added.
Blending-Inefficient absorption of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients into blood stream, satisfies hunger as there is no loss of fiber, balances blood sugar levels.

So, which is better? There is no answer for that. If you want instant energy and consume good amount of vitamins and minerals, juicing is the way to go. Beware of high sugar fruits or vegetables while juicing. The sugar may cause a spike in your blood sugar levels. If you want to satisfy your hunger by including fiber and by adding milk/yogurt/nuts/avocado, then blending is the way to go. Remember that the nutrient and mineral absorption from blending is not as efficient as that from juicing.
