Blending processes the vegetable or whole fruit (or nuts) and it will retain the pulp and the fiber. As a result, you get a thicker drink that’s known as a smoothie or a blended drink. On the other hand, juicing separates the pulp and the fiber out, and leaves behind a non-gritty liquid juice. Blending can cut, dice, and/or pulverize the fruits and vegetables within the container, but it won't sieve out the fibrous part. Blending produces thick, blended drinks which take longer to digest. The good news is that you receive the fiber portions within it that are loaded with antioxidants that are good for digestion, and are good for the heart. Juicing provides you with a juice which contains a higher concentration of minerals, vitamins, and nutrients that are absorbed quickly. However, juices have a lot of sugar content, and they don’t have most (if not all) fibers that are important for digestion & for regulating blood sugar.
Now, can you use a Blender for juicing? It’s possible if you’re able to strain out the pulp successfully using a strainer. If you don’t want to do the extra work, you’re better off with a separate Juicer, in which the pulp gets ejected, and only the juice is extracted. If you would like to have smoothies, shakes, and juices made right in your home or elsewhere, depending on your blending or juicing needs, having a blender (at minimum) and a separate juicer might be warranted. For those who consume juices only, a Juicer will suffice. Moderation in consumption of food & drink is good to consider throughout life – whether it’s the quantity of smoothies or juices being consumed in a given time interval, the amount (and type) of fruit, vegetables or nuts being ingested, or the quality of the ingredients themselves.
