I have a few neighbours in saskatoon with huge crabapple / apple tree’s yielding so much fruit that they have no idea what to do with them all. I often pick 20 – 60+ lbs of them in the fall months and find many different ways to enjoy them. While I like apple sauce and apple juice, I gotta say that juiced smoothies are one of my favourite for sure…

So What Is a Juiced Smoothie?

A juiced smoothie is exactly what it sounds like: a perfect hybrid between a juice and a smoothie. Instead of choosing between the fiber rich goodness of a smoothie or the easily absorbed nutrients of a juice, a juiced smoothie gives you the best of both worlds.

Here’s how it works: you take fresh pressed or squeezed juice (apples, carrots, startfruit, soursop, greens, celery, or other vegetables) and blend it together with whole fruits and sometimes additional greens. So you’re getting that smooth, drinkable consistency of juice combined with the fiber and substance of whole fruit. It’s a brilliant way to maximize your nutrient intake while creating textures and flavors that are absolutely delicious.

The Benefits of a Juiced Smoothie

The beauty of a juiced smoothie is in how it optimizes nutrition and digestibility. When you juice greens first and then blend them with whole fruit, you’re creating something incredibly nutrient dense but also surprisingly gentle on your digestive system.

For people with sensitive digestion, a juiced smoothie can be a game changer. The juiced greens are already broken down, making nutrients immediately available without your body working through tough fiber. Then when you blend in whole fruits, you’re adding back beneficial fiber in a form that’s already partially broken down.

This approach is especially helpful if you want to consume large amounts of greens, apples, carrots etc, but find that eating or blending massive quantities makes your stomach feel heavy or uncomfortable. With a juiced smoothie, you can get a pound or more of greens, apples or carrots into your system without that overly full feeling.

Plus, the juiced smoothie technique creates an incredibly smooth, creamy texture that’s way more enjoyable to drink than some of those super thick, fibrous green smoothies. You’re maximizing nutrition absorption while creating something that actually tastes great and goes down easy. It’s the ultimate strategy for getting optimal nutrients in the most digestible, delicious form possible.
