That works too Jen! Thanks for sharing how you make the best use of your blender. It's definitely a creative way to get both outcomes out of one machine. :)

I juice using a blender. I blend fruit and vegetables and add 1 c. of water to get it going. I strain it through a paint strainer you can get at any hardware store.

I was thinking of getting a juicer, but it doesn't take very long to strain the juice and it is somewhat theraputic doing it and a quicker cleanup…so, I guess I will stick to one multi use machine!

Thanks… you cant taste the spinach at all. I use Barlean's or Carrie's powdered Greens which taste great with our without fruit if you want to avoid extra sugar from time to time.

Hey!

Great question! Actually I think you're onto something with the spinach leaves in your smoothie. Though you could do without the baby carrots in the smoothie, and just juice those with some other leafy greens.

For "green smoothies" the idea is to cover the taste of leafy greens with fruit and add any powders or supplements you like. For juice, it's all about getting the nutrition directly from the veggies.

My suggestion: keep blending smoothies in your blender, and add a fresh juice later on in the day or even first thing if that sounds good to you. :)

Thanks for your question!
