Innocent juice 'never ever from concentrate' closest to fresh fruit?

    On reading about how bad juice drinks are, allegedly even Pomgreat's pomegranate & blueberry juice drink, I'm going to get myself a juicer over the next few weeks but until I do are Innocent juice drinks the best option out there?

    I'm reading on one of their carafes here that they add no sweetners and it's never ever from concentrate although it is pasteurised and they do add ascorbic acid to stop the juice changing colour etc.

    Also, will I be able to put more in my juicer than oranges? Am I better off getting a blender for variety?

    I had a juicer for a while, but it was just too messy to use it and then clean. It also blocks solid parts from getting into the juice so I think you'll miss some nutritional value.
    Blender is much more useful (to me). :) You can blend your fruits instead of juicing.

    What about the pips in oranges etc?

    What sort of fruits do you blend?

    You'd need to remove them I guess? Can you leave them when juicing?

    frozen berries, banana, apple, etc. - for various kinds of smoothies; removing seeds first if they are not edible

    PS you can blend almost anything

    I thought a juicer would filter the pips but I am uncertain.
