Green Smoothie Revolution

With a growing understanding of its incredible health benefits, green smoothies are gaining the attention of health seekers and people who love the delicious taste of a smoothie. The raising popularity of the green smoothie is due in no small part to the dynamic work of Victoria Boutenko.

Victoria Boutenko is a passionate advocate of healthy living and to me a mentor on the topic of green smoothies. She shares her knowledge and teaches nutritional classes and workshops around the world, helping people gain the knowledge to support optimum health.

Green Smoothie Revolution is the much anticipated sequel to Victoria Boutenko’s book Green For Life. Here are the topics discussed in this book:

Part One – Unleashing The Healing Power Of Greens

Victoria talks about the miracle of greens, its amazing nutrients, and how vital greens are for the survival of all living being on our planet. In fact, through her research, Victoria finds much evidence that green leaves have been a primary staple in the human diet for thousands of years [read 12 Steps To Raw Foods for more in-depth information of this topic].

She discusses why taking in greens in liquid form is said to be the best way to digest them for maximum absorption, why rotating greens is important, and lists cultivated and wild edible greens, herbs, and weeds for our smoothies, and mentions sprouts and medicinal herbs.

Armed with the curiosity of a true researcher, Victoria conducts a simple experimentation to observe the process of oxidation which is discussed in the chapter Blending Versus Juicing. Then the focus is on food combining for green smoothies, and guidelines for optimal green smoothie consumption. There is even a chapter dedicated to green smoothies for our pets. We can’t forgot about the health and well-being of our fury family friends.

Part Two is all about the recipes.

There are 200 healthy healing delicious green smoothie recipes for beginners, the adventurous, children, our pets, and also recipes for green pudding and even green smoothies geared toward skin care.

Ending on an inspiring note The Appendix has stories of incredible weight loss and a case of amazing healing due to simply adding green smoothies to their diet. Also, I love the inspirational quotes directly following the title of each chapter of this book.

Before sitting down to write this review I made one of the recipes from this book, Persimmon Green Smoothie, page 116. Delicious! I happen to love persimmons, but if persimmons aren’t your favorite, don’t worry, there is a recipe in this book to suit your liking, or one that you can tweak and tailor it to your liking.

Green Smoothie Revolution is an educational and inspiring reference book, giving us an understanding of the power and miracle of greens, and with a quality blender and fresh organic produce, anyone can make a delicious healthy green smoothie.

Everyone should have a copy of this book. On that note, it is my pleasure to offer one (1) copy of Green Smoothie Revolution as a gift to you. To participate in the drawing, simple answer this question:
