So in come smuices or smoothie juice, if you like the sound of that better. With a smuice you are blending the entire fruit or vegetable- skin and all- so you are keeping all the fiber. In order for this to work you have to have a high powered blender. We use the Vitamix and LOVE it.
There is not only one way to make a smuice. I basically just blend fruit, veggies and water together. (This is Sav's favorite way to eat veggies.) This way you get all the health benefits of fruits and vegetables but it's not thick like a smoothie. My core smuice recipe involves aloe vera juice (anti-inflammatory), ginger, turmeric, apples, oranges, lemons, kale, spinach, carrots, cucumber, and some kind of frozen fruit. I use a little frozen fruit because the Vitamix can make whatever your blending warm, so I do this to keep the drink cool. You could just add ice but I think this waters down the flavor.


Again, I am not health expert, so please take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. But when you compare the net carbs of a smoothie or juice to a smuice, the smuice is gonna win every time. My goal for this year is to add more vegetables and less fruit to my smuice so it has even less sugar/carbs.
