In reply to Charlie Albright | Moments by Charlie. Correct! So in juicing all the solid matter is taken away and you're left with just the liquid and in smoothies, the liquid and solid matter are blended together :) I hope that clears things up! Thanks for reading :)

In reply to Trinity.

Sure did! It isn’t overly high, however it differs depending on what GI chart you’re looking at! I’ve even found charts where it’s been considered ‘low’! However, regardless of it’s GI, there has been scientific literature published in the last couple of years showing that regular and long-term consumption of bananas will improve blood glucose levels 🙂 It’s all still very new, but interesting nonetheless! Thanks for reading 🙂

I know this may sound crazy (clearly I’ve been living under a rock) but I didn’t even realise that juices and smoothies were different things…I just thought it was a different word used my different countries like tissues and kleenex… Okay so what is juicing and what is a smoothie. Is juicing the one where you put it in those special machines and only the ‘water’ is extracted and for smoothie – you just blend it all up? It’s pretty early in the morning right now so if I have completely missed this in the post then please excuse me.

Love all the insight you provided in this post! Definitely feeling more informed on both smoothies and joined and the benefits of each. Thanks for sharing!

Nice read! Fruit smoothies are my favorites! I know that fruits such as bananas, grapes, cherries, watermelons, all have high glycemic index. However, you mentioned in your article that bananas stabilize blood glucose levels, which I found interesting. Could you please give me some more information? Thanks!!! 🙂

Haven’t been a huge juice/smoothie person, much prefer eating to drinking! Thanks for the info though, I know a lot more now!

So insightful! I tend to be a juicer.
I make them with the kids and add so much goodness with some ice so they call them “slushies”

Thank you so much for clearing up a few misconceptions about juices and smoothies for me. I knew that drinking them slowly was helpful. I always add protein if I make it a meal so I must be on the right track. Thanks!
