Can I make smoothies instead of juice?

Yep! I recommend getting an industrial style blender for this. I have used both a Vitamix and a Blentech and love them both. If you use a more standard blender your fruits and veggies will not blend enough and it will be kind of gross to drink. I prefer juice; I think it’s easier to drink. I’ve also read that people who do juices usually lose weight faster. Juice also keeps me just as full as a smoothie.
