Product Description

Thanks to the advent of processed food, people who live in industrial countries, especially those whose families have done so for several generations, often have symptoms of multiple nutrient deficiencies on a very high level. Green smoothies provide a way for us to correct these persistent imbalances and begin to discover what health actually feels like. "Green Smoothie Revolution" offers a wide variety of smoothie recipes as well as the nutrition and know-how behind the drinks. A molecule of chlorophyll closely resembles a molecule of human blood. According to teachings of Dr. Ann Wigmore, consuming chlorophyll is like receiving a healthy blood transfusion. Many people do not consume enough greens, even those who stay on a raw food diet. By drinking two or three cups of green smoothies daily you will consume enough greens for the day to nourish your body, and all of the beneficial nutrients will be well assimilated. When consuming your greens in the form of green smoothies, you are greatly reducing the consumption of oils and salt in your diet. While fresh is always best, green smoothies will keep in cool temperatures for up to three days, which can be handy at work and while travelling. With 150 easy-to-make recipes offering an abundance of fruits, vegetables, and greens to choose from, "Green Smoothie Revolution" provides an important diversity of nutritional sources as well as enough variety to keep taste buds happy.

Buy it, use it, share it..
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.

You must buy this book - it should have a government Great Health Endorsement on the cover
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!
