With all the research Owl has been doing on the juicers and blenders lately, he's been hearing a lot about the Juicer vs Blender controversy. Many people argue for one or the other, based on fiber content or fullness, etc. (Bee was not aware of the side effects argued about in such controversy.)
Saturday morning was the first morning we started our day on a Smoothie, made with whole fruit and veggies in the Blentec. It tasted delicious, and had a nice body and texture to it. Very tasty!
But we did notice, that a mere 3 hours later, we both were starving! We were ready for lunch when we normally eat it somewhere between 2:30 and 3:00. The both of us also felt the need for a coffee. And we'd been doing great all week without one!
There are a few different reasons why this may be:
1. We went to bed late, and slept less, and therefore are more tired and more hungry.
2. We had one of our early mornings, when we don't sleep in, therefore the time between breakfast and lunch has increased by 60 to 90 minutes.
3. The Juice we normally drink is more concentrated and without much fiber, and is therefore is absorbed into the body faster and the nutrients come on with a bang!
4. The fiber in the Smoothie fills us up right away, but it also revvs up our tummies for more food.
Also, today (Tuesday), we had a Smoothie for a snack. And an hour and a half later, we are hungry again! Could it be because this is our first fasting day? Not drinking enough water? Cleaning and moving around more than we usually do?
It could be a combination of all these things, of course. But we find it interesting, and we'll be keeping tabs on how we feel during these double-shifts at work when we start our day with a Juice or a Smoothie. Whatever works best for US is the way we'll go!
In the meantime, John from discountjuicers.com has his own opinion here on youtube, so check it out! :D
