Someone please explain this to me.
The point of juicing is to speed the nutrients and enzymes into our body by removing the fiber. Another plus is that we can't eat 2 heads of romaine lettuce, an apple, a lemon, etc. in the time it would take to drink the same ingredients, so you get way more nutrition bang for the amount of liquid you're drinking.
BUT-
If I want loads of nutrients from juicing lots of greens (more than I could blend in a green smoothie)... would mixing the green juice base with fruit not give my body all the good stuff?
It seems like people are either, 'just juice and forget the fiber' or 'keep the fiber and make a smoothie' is there a way to get the best of both worlds?
