Green Juice vs Medicinal Mushrooms: Which is Better?

You may have heard about green juice becoming a huge phenomenon in the kitchen today.

Why have these juicing trends gotten so popular, though? What makes them different than just eating fruits and veggies? Are they better than eating raw fruit, or do you lose out on some of the nutrients using juicing strategies? Here are some tips from our team at Troomy, and what makes green juice the perfect new addition to changing your daily routine for the better in a healthy manner.

Benefits of Green Juice

Filling Servings for the Day

In comparison to just having a banana or a regular juice, green juice servings are often very filling when you expand the ingredients. You shouldn’t completely replace a meal with green juice, but it’s a great snack to get a boost of energy, be more productive, and feel more satiated for a longer period of time.

Better Energy Throughout the Day

Having better energy throughout the day can make your life so much more productive. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find natural solutions to boost your energy that doesn’t take a ton of prep time, cooking, and expensive ingredients. With juicing, you can make juices on a budget depending on the benefits you’re looking for! For example, if you’re not getting enough potassium, you can load your green juices with bananas to start.

Immune System Function

Your immune system functions at a much higher level when it gets the nutrients it needs from fruits and veggies. This can link to quicker recovery times from sickness, reduced inflammation with allergies, and more.Β 

Weight Management

It may not translate to instant weight loss, but it implements good habits to push you toward losing weight in natural, healthy methods. You get most of the nutrients from raw fruits rather than a juiced form, but still, weight management benefits apply.

Quick Way to Get Daily Values

Your daily values are tough to get to with nutrition. Green juices are a fast route that takes almost zero prep time for you to get those nutritional values. Additionally, since they’re customizable, you can account for a lack of protein, potassium, calcium, or other nutrients in your diet.Β Β

What Should I Throw In My Green Juice?

Granny Smith Apples

Apples are a good base, but this gets you that tart taste you need for a little more zest in your green juice. Slice these up and bunch them with some good greens, and you’ll be on your way to a great green juice for the day.

Celery

High in vitamins and antioxidants, celery is another great base if you have at least four or so stalks per juice blend. Luckily, these are highly-affordable veggies you can keep on hand throughout the week.

Parsley

Parsley probably wasn’t on your radar for making your perfect blend. Surprisingly, it has a great taste to make the blend a bit more natural, as well as vitamins for your bone strength. Keep this on hand, but sprinkle it in. Don’t go too heavy on parsley until you see if you like the flavor or not.Β 

Bananas and Healthy Nutrition - Troomy Nootropics in Whittier, CA

Bananas

Bananas are a universal favorite for shake blends, and they’re great for juicing as well. Keep your flavor and potassium in a great spot with a couple of bananas in your juice blends.

However, you’ll lose some of the fibers and other nutrients of bananas after being juiced. Take this into consideration when you start adding green juice to your diet.

Yogurt

Yogurts have protein, vitamins, calcium, probiotics, and more. Additionally, they’re great for bone health and keeping digestive problems in check. Make sure not to overload your juices with yogurt though, especially if you have trouble with dairy. Alternatively, you can find lactose-friendly options as well.Β

Green Juice Shouldn’t Replace Your Nutrition

Be careful not to let green juice replace what you have in a given day completely. Eating veggies and fruits whole avoids losing the fibers that will often happen after blending green juice. However, it can be a bit more difficult and time-consuming for you to sit down and have full fruits by themselves. Amend green juice uses around your diet and schedule.Β 

Not the Same as Eating Raw Fruit

Raw fruits and veggies will always be better for you. You should try to keep a balance of both in your diet to keep juicing’s benefits of quick nutrients while also getting natural fibers and proteins from raw fruits.Β 

Blood Sugar

If you haven’t been keeping up with fiber and protein normally outside of your fruits and veggies, you’re going to struggle with having balanced blood sugar. This can be dangerous to your body, and you should proceed with caution if you move forward with using green juice as a supplement to your diet.

Alternatives/Additions to Green Juice

Supplements and Nootropics

Supplements like protein powder, vitamin capsules, nootropics, and others can be a quick addition alternative to your daily intake. They’re quick relief options that take zero prep time, and are instant boosts to make your daily routine simple.

Depending on your needs, you can find nootropics that are customized to what you’re looking for benefits-wise. If you’re looking for more energy, for example, there are blends of powders, capsules, and gummies alike that will target that need. However, they may all do this through different ingredients.

What are Nootropics?

Nootropics are natural or synthetic additions to your daily routine to give you much-needed help with your nutrition, anxiety, sleep habits, and more. The majority will use natural ingredients like mushrooms that are superfood additions to your usual diet and nutrition.

Some of these include medicinal mushrooms.

Medicinal Mushrooms vs Green Juice

Both are viable daily to get support daily in your nutrition. However, medicinal mushrooms are often used in wellness routines to target functional purpose. For example, when you give medicinal mushrooms a try as a part of a recipe or in a powder, you might not be fully familiar with what the benefits are.Β 

Tons ofΒ Vitamins Packed Into ONE Food

With just ONE mushroom, you can get loads of antioxidant power, B vitamins, mineral compounds, and more. These offer great daily value to keep you on track with a new diet or just overall health and wellness.

Caffeine Free

When you're getting good energy, caffeine's usually packed into most supplements and drinks. This can be rough on your usual diet or what you're aiming to get out of a green juice cleanse, so make sure to stick with mushrooms if that's what you're trying to avoid.

Low Sugar, Low Calorie

No sugar and no calories virtually guarantees a seamless integration into your diet, making mushrooms a cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast, lunch and dinner. Luckily, it's easier than ever to get started today.
