Smoothie vs Saft

juice / power

'der Saft' and 'der Smoothie' are both drinks made from fruit or vegetables. The difference lies in how they are made and in their consistency. 'Saft' is pressed and is usually fairly thin. 'Smoothie' is pureed and is therefore thicker, because whole fruits or pieces of vegetables are often processed. Learners may confuse the words because both sound healthy and are often found on the same shelf. If you mean something pressed, 'Saft' fits. If it is creamy and pureed, 'Smoothie' fits.
