As many others mentioned juicing removes the fiber and I need fiber to stay regular. My old blender can blend carrots, zucchini, well any raw vegetable or fruit or herbs with a base of almond milk or kefir just fine. I also toss in a few ice cubes. Sure it's not the clear liquid that a juicer can produce, but I personally see no benefit in it after seeing how much pulp was removed processing with juicer so I decided against it. A lack of vitamins and minerals is not an issue for me as I eat a healthy diet. I do know my compost heap would love this fiber, but I'd rather break it down myself rather than sharing it with wiggly worms and meal worms in the heap!
