Juicer or blender, which one to choose?

When it comes to preparing fruit and vegetable juices, it is common to confuse the use of a juicer or a blender, since both devices can process these foods. However, there is a significant difference between the two that can affect the flavor, texture, and nutrients of your final drink.

What is a juicer?

A juicer is a small appliance designed to extract the juice from fruits and vegetables, leaving the pulp and fibers behind. It works by rotating a cone that squeezes the juice out of the fruit, while the pulp remains inside the device.

And what is a blender?

On the other hand, a blender is a larger, more powerful appliance that uses blades to blend fruits and vegetables until they become a smooth and homogeneous mixture. Unlike the juicer, the entire food is processed in the blender, including the pulp and fibers.

Pros and cons of each one

Both devices have their advantages and disadvantages, depending on the type of drink you want to prepare and your personal preferences.

Squeezer

• Pros: The resulting juice is softer and lighter, without pulp or fibers.
• Cons: Some of the fiber and nutrients are lost, and it is more difficult to clean.

Blender

• Pros: the juice is thicker and full of fiber and nutrients.
• Cons: It can be heavier and more difficult to digest, and some may require a strainer to remove excess pulp.

Conclusions

In short, if you are looking for a smooth and light juice, the juicer is your ideal choice. If you prefer a thick mixture full of nutrients, the blender is your best ally. In any case, it is recommended to choose fresh, quality fruits and vegetables to get a healthy and delicious juice.
