You don’t realize how much fruit it takes to make one glass of juice until you actually juice it 😭 Seeing this honestly made us pause for a second… like wait, how do we feel about this? Is juice something we should be drinking, or is it better to just eat the whole fruit? So of course we looked into it and read a bunch of different perspectives, and here’s what we found. When you drink fruit juice, you’re not really losing the vitamins… you’re losing the fiber, and that matters because the fiber in whole fruit is what slows down how your body absorbs sugar, supports digestion, and actually keeps you full. Without it, you’re getting a much faster blood sugar spike, and you’re usually drinking multiple pieces of fruit at once without even realizing it. But that doesn’t mean juice is bad, and this is where most people get it wrong. A lot of people in the health space drink juice very intentionally because there are benefits to it. It’s very easy for your body to absorb, there’s no fiber to break down, so your body can take in the vitamins, minerals, and natural sugars quickly, which can be really helpful after a workout when your body needs quick energy or when you’re not very hungry but still want nutrients. Some people with gut issues even feel better with juice because it’s easier on digestion. The key is how you’re using it. Most people who are intentional with juice aren’t just sipping on it all day, they’ll have it post-workout or pair it with a meal so it’s not hitting their blood sugar completely on its own. So it’s not that juice is bad and fruit is good, they just serve different purposes. Whole fruit is slower, more filling, and more balanced, something you can rely on daily, while juice is quicker, more concentrated, and easier to absorb, something you can use more intentionally depending on what your body needs. For us, it’s less about cutting anything out and more about understanding what you’re actually consuming and using it in a way that makes sense for your body. Would love to hear more opinions about this from our health friends! Feel free to share 🍊
