[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an early juicer devotee. Recommended by my osteopath. Had to stop because the smoothies were making my blood sugar spike and I’d become queasy. I was juicing apples, kale, carrots [/quote] Numerous posters have noted that juicing is not the same as making smoothies. Juicing removes all the fiber in a fruit; smoothies keep all the fiber and you ingest it. Drinking juice is very different than drinking a smoothie. [/quote] You still have the same amount of sugar. Added fiber won't reduce that amount or significantly slow down that sugar absorption. Smoothies do cause sugar spikes almost the same way as juices. But you do you. Go ahead, start your day with sugar bomb. And later join 50% of Americans with metabolic issues (type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes and insulin resistance (metabolic syndrome)) [/quote] I drink a smoothie almost every day. One banana, and 140 grams of other fruit, plus greens, protein, milk sub, and hemp seeds. Is this a lot of sugar? I have no metabolic diseases whatsoever, thin, and exercise a lot. Good blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, etc.[/quote]
