Eli5 – How is fruit that is chewed better for you than fruit that is blended / juiced?

Question

Is fruit that is juiced or blended better than no fruit at all? Or, is it better to avoid any juiced fruit?

I like the flavour of fruit but not the texture, because of this I avoid all fruit and am pretty close minded on trying anything new due to price and waste.

I recently debated buying baby blended fruit pouches to add vitamins into my diet; is this something that will be better than avoiding fruit all together?

Thank you for any comments in advance!

Edit: Thank you all so much for your replies, and as well for the suggestions and advice!
