Product Description
Product Description
Thanks to processed and fast foods, being overworked, and feeling stressed while eating on the fly, it is increasingly difficult for most of us to eat anywhere near a balanced diet. We may not be obviously sick, but may suffer from lack of focus, insomnia, sluggishness, or any host of symptoms caused by nutritional deficiency. Green Smoothie Revolution takes aim at this silent epidemic by restoring balance to our diets.
Combining nutrition and know-how with recipes that pack a powerhouse punch, Victoria Boutenko reintroduces long neglected fruits, vegetables, and greens in the most persuasive style for our busy lives: with fast prep and delicious results. Featuring 200 recipes, Green Smoothie Revolution offers both simplicity (4 ripe pears, 1 bunch parsley, 2 cups water; blend well) and enough variety to keep taste buds happy and nutrients coming from a wealth of options.

Victoria Boutenko is leading a green revolution. Mother was right when she said eat your greens.. but generations of kids went 'bleugghhh..' Let's face it, given the choice between a lettuce and a banana only the rabbit would go for the greens...
In this book Victoria has managed the impossible - she's made green sexy and desirable.. There are loads of recipes here that are delicious and nutritious - two words that don't come together too often in the Standard Western Diet. Most people are happy to eat fruits, it's vegetables that cause the biggest problem - so Victoria squeezes the greens in through the backdoor by making her smoothies as fruity as possible and adding the green so you barely notice it's there.
The truth is, after a couple of weeks your body will choose these foods over all others and as an added incentive Victoria points out that her family noticed improvements in their health in hours and days, not weeks and months.
Do yourself a favour buy a copy for yourself, your parents, your kids, and your friends. If you're suffering from any form of ill health then make this your number one purchase for this week.

I heartily endorse Mimi's excellent review.
What I would like to do is share how I put the messages in the book into practice and trust that it will help potential buyers to purchase this book.
When I first came across this book I instinctively knew this was the path for me to follow to improve my general well being and restore my shaky health. I set out and bought a blender and then waited 2 weeks before using it. I was buying different fruits and greens - and they sat in my fridge.
Then one afternoon I decided to just make one; it was improvised but followed the idea of a chunky soup - salad greens, garlic, fresh ginger, 2 red chillies, 2 sticks of celery, roasted red peppers from a jar, a bunch of parsley, 2 large tomatoes and blitzed. At first it did not seem to blend then I added a cup of filtered tap water and then a second - that did the trick.
I have to say the results were amazing - a gorgeous melange of flavours. Satisfying and totally moreish.
I have not looked back since - neither will you once you take the plunge. I now plan what I am going to make each morning and then collect what I require from my local asian store. The recepies in the book are great and quite detailed - I have used them as a launching pad to develop my own concoctions. Not one has ever been a disappointment.
I have bought the book as presents for my family. Buy, Buy, Buy!

I bought this book after reading "Green For Life", which I found inspiring but full of illogical sweeping statements and conclusions drawn from suspect theories. Despite all this I still felt inspired to try making my own green smoothies, to see for myself what the impact might be on my health. After about three weeks of regular green smoothie consumption I noticed a dramatic fall in my interest in chocolate and an increase in my desire to eat even more greens, so I bought Green for Life as I wanted to get more recipes for green smoothies. I agree with one of the other reviewers that many of the recipes include ingredients I've never heard of, but what they have inspired me to do is to experiment with a much wider variety of ingredients. It hadn't occurred to me to try making a "green pudding" or "green soup" - this could be fun.
I also think the arguments Victoria makes in this book have been developed a bit better. For example, she gives a couple of reasons as to why we might want to eat like chimpanzees instead of just raving on about them as she did in Green for Life. Much more inspiring is the story in the Appendix of Clent Manich's amazing journey from obesity to health. Again, it's a one-off example rather than a scientific study, but I can't see the harm in drinking a couple of green smoothies a day and it seems to be having a positive effect on my health too. In general I prefer books that advise you to add nutrients to your diet rather than to give things up, and this book makes some wonderfully creative suggestions on how to do this. I also love some of the names of the recipes, like Dancing Dandelion, Party in your Mouth, Heavy Metals Be Gone, Oh Bay-Beh Bay-Beh, and my favourite, "Bleh! So Bland, Why Did I Try This, But It's Growing On Me". If I can find out where to get buckwheat sprouts and avocado seed I might try it too.

See Green for Life.....
This is a companion book for Green for Life, it's full of recipes that follow on from the main book. Useful if you are really going to give green smoothies a go.
