I bought this book while at one of the UR kiosks as I was excited to see a recipe for their delicious mint cacao-chip smoothie. The recipe in the book does not produce anything like the product they sell and when I followed the recipe it looked nothing like the accompanying photograph. (I doubt that their photo hero was produced by following their own recipe. I find that disingenuous and lost respect for the book at that point.)

I came to this book as a cook who is interested in eating well (nutritiously in general, and mindfully 100%...I no longer view foods as good/bad, clean/dirty and found that lifting all restrictive thinking actually helped me move past 30 years of disordered eating). I'm all about self-care, but don't buy into the whole "cleanse" mentality—this book is heavy on that.
