SaladPower is closer to a smoothie than a juice, and the distinction is the whole point. Juice is made by extracting the liquid from produce and discarding the pulp, which takes most of the fiber with it. SaladPower keeps the whole vegetable, fiber included, blended rather than juiced. It is a drinkable whole-vegetable blend, which is why each pouch carries about 5 grams of fiber that a juice would have thrown away.
Why the difference matters
Fiber is not a minor detail. It slows how quickly sugar reaches your bloodstream, supports digestive regularity, and is part of why whole vegetables satisfy in a way juice does not. When produce is juiced, the fiber goes into the trash with the pulp. When it is blended, as SaladPower is, the fiber stays in the glass. That is the line between a whole-food drink and a glass of vegetable juice.
So what do you call it?
Smoothie is the closest familiar word, though SaladPower is more vegetable-forward and far lower in sugar than most smoothies. Whatever you call it, the mechanics are what count: whole vegetables, blended, fiber intact, no added sugar.
