This is the third non fiction book I've read about nutrition and health and the second book specialized on juices and smoothies. I drink a smoothie for breakfast almost everyday. That's why I enjoyed reading this book about juices and smoothies for people who exercises, whether lightly or intensely. gread recipes with all the info you need.

Enjoy reading and drinking.

I found this to be an enjoyable and informative little book containing 50 energizing fruit and vegatable juices and smoothies. It provides important nutritional information along with a colorful photo of each recipe. There are also sections on the nutritional needs of many different sports and the best time to consume which drink for optimal benefits, and more. I recommend this book to everyone who exercises no matter how low or high the impact.

Great book for this juicing newbie. I really liked the grids that suggest which recipes to go with based on the activity you plan to do.
