You could blitz soft fruit with yogurt, that way you get all the fibre as well as the juice and protein from the yogurt. You can buy zero fat natural yogurt and the Greek style ones are great.
If you juice your veg, by extracting the juice and throwing away the fibre, that is not good. Better to blitz the whole carrot, or better still make soup and add some lentils, all sorts of veg and bits of lean chicken or lean spare ribs. Yummy.

You would be far better eating the fruit or vegetables.
When you juice, you are extracting the juice, but the fibre is taken out.
It is the fibre in the fruit and vegetables that are better for you. The energy is more slowly released because of the fibre that is in the fruit and the veg.
With juicing, you are more likely to drink more of the juice, whereas if you ate a piece of fruit or veg, the amount would be much less.
