Default Juicing vegetables

Depends on what you're after. If you use a juicer, you get juice, and a load
of gloopy high-fibre remains, which are good to compost, or personally, if
you de-seed things first, I find it's great in homemade cakes. If you use a
blender, you get 'smoothies', which are thicker, but presumably also higher
in fibre, and less wasteful all round, cos you get the whole fruit. I'm not
a big fan of juice over smoothies, but YMMV.
