But then I came to know fruits and veggies should be eaten separately as both have different digestion timings. Apple and carrots are exceptions to this rule. Like in the Apple beet carrot juice combo.
Why does this juice combo work?
Spinach juice recipe in a blender is better than Spinach juice in a juicer as you get most of the fiber, so I decided to make this detox juice in a blender and juicer both and compare. Now, spinach juice tastes boring as green veggies are low in sugar and high in fiber. So we add apple, cucumber, lemon, and ginger for a flavor kick. Not to forget all these ingredients also help in weight loss too. If you add celery too, it is great for the skin. I love it more because this no-yogurt in fact no dairy smoothie can be made without a juicer too.

(Skip honey for weight loss) Naturally, high in vitamins and mineral makes the green spinach juice the best choice to boost immunity.

The juicer method is easier as you do not have to peel and cube anything. But washing the juicer can take more time. You also lose some fibers in a juicer. People with kidney problems and kidney stones should avoid it or drink occasionally as greens are high in oxalic acid, so it can put excess work on kidneys to remove them. It can also develop kidney stones.
If you aren’t straining and want to make most benefit of this drink blending is a better choice. Washing blender every day is easy peasy. The taste is compromised in blending if you add too much water. Adding honey adds calories. Blending take slightly more time to make. Blended juice is nutritionally better without sweetener and straining.
