RY: The only potential con would be a thicker consistency. Because you end up with a bit more pulp, you end up with a thicker juice. Some people prefer their juice this way, and those who are used to a thinner juice can easily strain it. MF: What ingredients do you recommend most for making juices? RY: Definitely focus on getting a good amount of dark, leafy greens, like kale, spinach, dandelion greens, and romaine lettuce.
But when they do lead to too many calories, they risk raising blood sugar and insulin levels. This could be because fructose has a relatively low GI , the paper states, while high GI diets are associated with insulin resistance. But we have a higher risk of consuming more than the recommended daily number of calories around 2, for women and 2, for men on the days we drink juice, according to research. Numerous studies have shown that drinking fruit juice doesn't make us consume any less of other foods throughout the day.
But one study published last year may have found a way to make juicing healthier. They measured the effects of mixed fruit and peeled mango — both of which rank highly on the glycaemic index and therefore cause a spike in blood sugar — juiced in a nutrient extractor blender, compared with another group who ate the same fruit whole.
Those who drank nutrient-extracted mixed fruit had a lower blood sugar increase compared with the whole mixed fruit group, while there were no differences between those who had mango juice and whole mango.

Gail Rees, senior lecturer in human nutrition at the University of Plymouth and researcher on the study, says the findings were probably caused by the fruit seeds contained in the juices.
But while keeping seeds in the juice may make some difference during digestion, Ferris argues this doesn't necessarily change how filling the juice is. However, it's an improvement over traditional fruit juice," she says. Other ways we can improve the effects of fruit juice on our health include making sure we select ripe fruit to retain as much of its goodness as possible , according to Roger Clemens, professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Southern California.

When you blend ingredients rather than juice them, you aren't left with heaps of wasted produce because you're actually drinking them! And I don't know about you, but when I find a little chunk of banana or strawberry in my smoothie, my heart sings.
Third, the concept of food costs comes to mind. Juice requires more produce than you might expect. Think about how much sugar and what small level of fullness you are getting for the price when you invest in juice.
When paying for produce, it makes financial sense to use as much of that produce as you can. Another item to note: juicers themselves can be expensive. Many cost hundreds of dollars. Blenders can too, but there are a lot more models available that won't compromise performance for a lower price tag.
Speaking of pricey, juicers are expensive in time. However, there's no scientific evidence that extracted juices are healthier than the juice you get by eating the fruit or vegetable itself.
But if you don't enjoy eating fruits and vegetables, juicing may be a way to add them to your diet or to try fruits and vegetables you might not eat. Consider blending instead of juicing. Blending the edible parts of fruits and vegetables produces a drink that contains more healthy phytonutrients and fiber. Fiber can help you feel full. If you try juicing, make only as much juice as you can drink at once; harmful bacteria can grow quickly in freshly squeezed juice. If you buy commercially produced fresh juice, select a pasteurized product.
