• Juices give you an energy boost.

• There is a higher concentration of nutrients in a juice.
• A juice extractor operating at low speed (about 80 revolutions / min) this will have the effect of preserving a maximum of enzymes.

Disadvantages:

• It takes longer to make a smoothie juice.
• You will need a lot more fruits and vegetables for a glass of juice a glass of smoothie.
• Juices oxidize rapidly, so it is necessary to drink them quickly.
• For the lazy, it may take longer to clean a puller.

• In addition, the fiber consumption causes a feeling of satiety, which reduces cravings for snacks.
• Smoothies oxidize much less rapidly than the juice.
• It is faster to do a green smoothie a green juice.
• You can replace a meal with a green smoothie without hunger until the next meal.
• Preference will be given for a cure detox smoothies through fiber that help remove wastes / toxins.

Disadvantages:

• As the speed of a blender juicer (around 25000 rev / min for my Vitamix blender) is much higher than that of a juice extractor, heat can destroy some nutrients which are why I recommend to first mix the fruit green vegetables and then 30 seconds maximum.

Due to the high speed of a blender, you get a healthy green smoothies at room temperature see warm, even with vegetables and fruits that were cool. It is therefore necessary to add ice cubes if you want a fresh smoothie.
