A smoothie is a thick beverage made from blended raw fruits or vegetables with other ingredients such as water, ice, dairy products or sweeteners.
A crucial distinction to note is that juice is different from smoothie. Juice is made by extracting the liquid from fruits or vegetables leaving behind the fibrous pulp whereas smoothie is gotten by blending the whole fruits or vegetables into a thick drink -excluding the skin and seed depending on its kind. Juice has only micronutrients without fiber while Smoothie has micronutrients and fiber content.
Smoothies have an edge over juice because they leave you full when consumed. You can make a smart move by consuming a fat burning smoothie. It will shed some fat just by the virtue of drinking it.
