Juicing Vs Smoothies

I am frequently asked how I feel about juicing.  I'm also frequently asked how I feel about smoothies.  Most people seem to have a preference for one over the other, but is there one which is better than the other?

My personal feeling on the matter is that there is room for both.  I own a blender and a juicer and use them both at different times.  Primarily I make smoothies.  Throwing together a quick concoction of kefir, berries, greens, and other assorted items to make a delicious beverage which provides a great start to my day.

Juicing is usually something that I do a couple of times a year in early spring and again in summer as a means of cleansing my system.  I also like to adding juicing to my routine if I've been doing a lot of traveling as a means of supporting my system, adding enzymes and micronutrients after being on the road.

The infographic below shares some pros and cons for both but the bottom line is consider that there is room for both in your nutritional plan.
