Is Juicing a Waste of Money?

 

It stands to reason that if you’re reading this blog on then you know that I don’t think that juicing is a waste of money. It’s the main focus of this blog, and it makes sense that I’m someone who doesn’t think it’s a waste of money. In fact, I think that owning a juicer and juicing at home can save you money.

What I wanted to do here is a slightly different thing that what I covered in my article on juicers. When I discussed whether or not juicers were a waste of money I focused on the juicer themselves. What I discussed was if the juicer machine would save you money or if it wasn’t worth it.

What I’m going to do here is instead focus on juicing and not the juicers. I already advise everyone who wants to juice on a regular basis to buy their own juicer. It’s going to save you so much money over buying freshly made juice in the store.

So, what we are going to look at here is the pros and cons of juicing. This will let us know if juicing is going to end up being a waste of money or if it’s something that is actually going to save money and be a good use of fruits and vegetables.

 

Why Do You Want To Juice?

The best way to make sure you’re juicing for the right reasons is to ask yourself why you want to juice.

• Are you someone who is looking to get healthier and wants to make healthy fresh juice?
• Are you someone who likes the flavor of fresh juice: lemon juice, orange juice, carrot juice?
• Do you want to save money and make juice at home

There are other reasons, but these are the most common ones. And they all make sense. In fact, for most people the idea of making juice at home comes down to three things: time, money, taste.

If you want to make fresh juice at home, and you want to save money and time, then juicing isn’t a waste of money.

But let’s review a bit more in detail as to why exactly juicing isn’t a waste.

 

4 Reasons Why Juicing Isn’t a Waste of Money

What I decide was the best thing to do was to list out the four reasons why juicing isn’t a waste of money. That way you can read and think about why juicing isn’t a waste of money and why you should consider it.

 

Juicing Doesn’t Destroy Fiber

As I’ve covered elsewhere, juicing doesn’t destroy fiber. This means that it is not a waste of money and fiber! You’re not throwing out important fiber when you are juicing.

Remember, there is a limit to the amount of fiber you can take. If you were to eat 5 stalks of celery and a bowl of leafy greens, you’d be bloated. However, the antioxidants in the liquid are easily digested and absorbed into your body.

 

Juicing Allows You To Get More Nutrients

This ties into the above concept of fiber and juicing. The reason juicing is a great thing for your body is that you get more nutritious juice when making a fresh juice at home. Juicing doesn’t destroy nutrients, it basically extrats them from the fruits and vegetables.

When you buy a juice at the store, you’re getting a highly processed juice that is almost completely void of all of the benefits of the fresh juice.

And as we’ve said, it’s not like your juice is not going to have to eat bowls of salad. It’s a simple case of making a juice and getting more nutrients than you would when you buy one.

 

Certain Things You Can’t Eat—You Have To Juice!

The truth is that most people throw out the skin of fruits that they can’t eat…but they could juice. Things like whole lemons, leafy greens, and hard vegetables. As you could tell, juicing leafy greens is important.

For instance, if you wanted to get the powerful benefits that come with organic lemons, or other citrus fruits, you have to eat the skin. But the skin of a lemon isn’t pleasant to eat.

But when you juice a lemon and juice the lemon skin, it’s amazing what it does to a juice. If fact, besides how healthy lemon skin is with the lemon essential oils and plant antioxidant compounds, lemon skin improves the flavor and taste of your juice.

If you’re juicing something like wheatgrass (something else that you can’t really eat) then by adding a lemon and juicing the lemon skin, you’re going to make that wheatgrass taste much more pleasant.

 

Homemade Juice is Cheaper Than Store Brought Juice

If you want to make juice on a consistent basis, then you are going to save yourself a lot of money by making it at home. Store brought juice is a waste of money. Juicing at home is not a waste.

You won’t get a better value buy getting your juice pre-made in a supermarket. Besides the problems and concerns about getting sick from supermarket juices, you’re just not going to get a valuable nutritious juice.

 

Conclusion: Juicing Isn’t A Waste Of Money For Most People

The fact is that juicing isn’t a waste. It’s not a waste of money nor is it a waste of fruits and vegetables.

You are juicing in order to get the most out of your fruits and vegetables.

You would get sick and bloated if you tried to eat a head of celery and kale and an apple. That’s just too much fiber.

Also, juicing isn’t a waste when you consider all of the benefits it has.

You save money by juicing.

Juicing doesn’t waste produce—you get to use more of the produce. You can process 6 apples in a single drink and you’ll get a lot of the fiber as well.
