Green for Life: The Updated Classic on Green Smoothie Nutrition by Victoria Boutenko
2.0
I basically bought this book for the green smoothie recipes. I'm always trying to find ways to modify what I eat to make it even healthier, and thought drinking my fruits and veggies would be a good way to get all those servings in. For the recipes alone, the book is worth it.
While I've no doubt that green smoothies have greatly improved the health of most people that have incorporated them into their daily food regimen, I don't believe the Raw diet is the be all to end all, and this seemed to be pushed in this book, along with green smoothies. It was nice to see that Buotenko's initial experiment involved adding green smoothies to a person's existing eating habits/regimen.
Boutenko's writing style was relatively clear, but facts were nebulous at times. I realize she cites sources, but it would have been nice to have more substance in this book.
Will definitely be trying the smoothies - especially those in the savory category.
