So there's two ways to juice a healthy way and the not healthy way. The healthy way is you put it in a blender like I did when I made my strawberry soup. Everything gets blended together, the fiber stays fiber, fiber, fiber you got. Uh, so when I did work to create the culinary medicine textbook series and together with 40 experts, we called over 2,500 uh, research articles. Fiber rose to the top. We are so fiber deficient as a society, we need to keep the fiber anytime we can. So if you don't have the fiber and you juice it and the fiber spits out the back, then you are gonna spike your sugar levels like nobody's business. It's gonna go really, really high. But when you have a smoothie and you keep the fiber and maybe you add some nuts, that's gonna blunt the rise of the um, blood sugar levels because protein and fat prevent the blood sugar levels from rising a lot. If you add cinnamon or vinegar, it all that stay that helps to the fruit stay in your stomach longer so that it's not released and you get this huge spike. So cinnamon vinegar and definitely, um, smoothies, not juicing.
