A blender and a juicer are vastly different. A juicer extracts only the liquid component of whatever goes into it. You can make some tasty things, but you lose a lot. A blender simply dissociates whatever you put into it. All the fiber, insoluble protein, etc. remain. Texturally, the results are very different. Juicing gives you a beverage, while blending will make more like a drinkable meal. Juicing is easy, because you can pretty much put anything into a juicer, and in the end, you only get the juice. When making a blended concoction, you sometimes need to removed rinds or seeds. Also one can use a blender to make soups, sauces and the like. If you only get one, definitely get a blender.
