A lushly illustrated and accessible guide to juicing and juice cleansing, featuring 75 recipes for making organic juices, milks, and other concoctions at home to provide the vital nutrients a healthy body needs to function at an optimal level.Once considered a fringe practice of raw-food zealots, juicing has gone mainstream. In this beautiful full-color health guide and cookbook--which requires only a juicer or blender to use--the founders of Los Angeles-based Pressed Juicery explain how juicing and juice cleansing can be part of a fit and healthy lifestyle. Featuring seventy-five recipes for the shop's most popular juices--including greens, roots, citrus, fruits, aloe and chlorophyll waters, and signature beverages like Chocolate Almond and Coconut Mint Chip--this inspirational handbook outlines the benefits of juicing, explains how to do a juice cleanse safely, and shares testimonials from people who have experienced personal health transformations after integrating juice into their lives.
A recommendation that turned into a valued resource. I really like this book and recognize a few of the elixirs as homemade remedies made by my dad I used to scoff at (sorry dad)... Now I wish I'd been drinking these all along. I look forward to creating many of these recipes and enjoying their benefits.
Those who juice regularly will love this book. Those who don't, will take the same stance I do. It was ok. I thought there was something "faddish" about this book that it will have a short shelf life or become one of those books that just take up book shelf space and never be cracked open after its newness wore off.
