You must be clear that it is a juice and not a shake. Don’t you know what the difference is? We will explain it to you briefly.
Difference between juice and shake
In a shake, we put all the ingredients in the blender glass to crush and beat them. This means that it preserves vitamins and minerals along with the fibre of each food.
In juice, fibre, and solid parts of fruits and vegetables are removed to obtain the properties and enhance their absorption in our cells. In just 20 minutes, the vitamins and minerals from the foods we add to the juice reach our blood, which provides us with an energy bomb.
Similarly, with a juice we allow the stomach to rest. This will help us on many levels, especially if you have eaten too much in the last few days or if you have stomach pain.
Sometimes our stomach screams for a break. Even if we eat healthily, it is advisable to relax it from time to time.
What happens if I make it a shake?
Obviously, nothing happens, you can drink it the same. However, the ingredients in the juices are based on fruit and vegetables and have a higher proportion of vegetables.
It often happens that the vegetable has more fibre and is somewhat harder and less liquid than the fruit. For this reason, if you convert juices into smoothies or shakes without changing the ingredients, you may find that the texture or taste is not pleasant to you (although there is nothing written about taste).
