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!

In addition to what people are saying about that fruit juice has fiber removed. The act of chewing itself makes you feel more full. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0031938415300317 has some research on this topic. But a blended fruit will let you overeat by doing all the chewing work. And this overeating is of something that is fairly high in sugar. This is also the reason that liquid calories are considered very bad.
It’s pretty obvious with juicing. A glass of orange juice is roughly six oranges. You’d consider 6 oranges to be almost a meal but a glass of orange juice can be drunk in a minute. But even with blending you can drink several cups of fruit in a minute.
