It's all the washing and chopping and pulling items in and out of the refrigerator. The smoothies are fast, but to make a big salad, a plate of cut veggies, and a glass of mixed veggie juice for lunch can take about 45 minutes of prep time. It doesn't look like it, but preparing all those different ingredients can add up. This includes cleaning the juicer afterwards -- it's easiest to clean right after it's been used.
