Basically an extended article, which it should have been. Some of the arguments are specious. However, as a result of doing more reading on this topic, I'm trying to add more green shakes, which is a nice addition to my juicing routine on the weekend.

I think Hmmmmmmm, there are many delicious recipes in here. Of course you don't have to add an ingredient you don't like, example sweeteners (sugar, honey etc)

Gave some good ideas for one to create further combinations.

Tons of information about greens and superfoods, with plenty of recipes for each season and physical problems to address. A must-read for smoothie enthusiasts.

I have serious doubts about the accuracy and legitimacy of some of her health claims, which don't mesh with a lot of the other health info I've read in recent years. Miles seems to just be telling you what is right because it's right for her with little to no acknowledgment that people are different. Also dry. If I hadn't ever done green smoothies before the recipes might have been worth it, but not for me.

A weeks worth of fruit in one smoothie can't be good for you.

Really like the information in this book. Tons of recipes, but the author also talks a lot about how different foods and specifically different types of sugars are processed in the body. Although she favors a raw food diet, I didn't find her to be dogmatic or preachy in that decision. She just presents the information as is.

I liked the information shared on drinking green smoothies and some of the recipes I've tried have been good. Some recipes were not very palatable and the book quality wasn't wonderful but it is a decent resource to have.

Full of facts figures and easy recipes, a good starter book for anyone who wants to dip their toes into the green smoothie craze.
