Fresh juice and smoothies are not the same drink. Both can be made with fruit and vegetables, but the preparation method changes the texture, fiber content and how filling the final drink may feel.
What is fresh juice?
Juicing separates much of the liquid from the pulp of fruits and vegetables. The result is usually lighter and easier to drink quickly. Because much of the insoluble fiber remains in the pulp, juice generally contains less fiber than a smoothie made from the same whole produce.
What is a smoothie?
A smoothie blends the edible ingredients together rather than separating the juice from the pulp. Fruit, vegetables, seeds, nut butter, protein powder, plant milk and other ingredients can all stay in the finished drink.
Which one is more filling?
A smoothie can be more substantial when it contains whole fruit, fiber, protein, nut butter, chia or another ingredient that adds staying power. A fresh juice is often lighter and may work better when you want a drink alongside a meal rather than a meal-style blend.

Juice vs. smoothie: which should you order?
Choose based on what you want from the order. If you want something lighter to pair with lunch, fresh juice may fit. If you want a thicker drink with whole-food ingredients and potentially more staying power, a smoothie may be the better choice.
