Book Description

Juice bars are all the rage, but making the drinks at home is an easy — and less expensive — way to sustain a smoothie habit. The Big Book of Juices and Smoothies features 365 healthy and delicious recipes. Many of which can be prepared with nothing more than a blender. Each drink is rated for its energy/immune boosting properties, detoxifying qualities, and skin enhancing abilities, while an at-a-glance nutrient profile lists vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Juice plans, such as a “detox weekend” or an “immune-boosting week” round out the book.

This book.......2007-01-13

Is a lifesaver. From getting so overwhelmed with the exotic concoctions in the juice/smoothie books which sit on my shelf, I happened to pick this one up at the local juice bar. The girl there apologetically said it wasn't for sale, but from what I read whilst standing there, I have to say I have never had a book impress me so much in so few seconds. I ordered one, and the rest is history.
1. Brilliant,logical layout
2. Non overwhelming recipes (for those of us who don't want to live in the kitchen)
3. Surprisingly informative, from the basic fruit/ veg nutritional facts at the start to the 1 to 5 star rating after each recipe. Brilliant.
I love this book. It is my favourite, and as a raw foodist, I have stacks of books.
If you buy it, you'll see what I mean.

excellent juices.......2006-01-05

I recently bought this book and so far I really love it and enjoy every juice I make. I love the idea that she arranged the juices by the kinds of fruits and veggies you want to use and that every juice has ratings for immunity, detox, skin, energy and digestion.
I higly reccomend this book.

Very few ingredients needed for tasty smoothies.......2005-10-02

Originally I bought this book for my father in law, who is a cancer survivor and on a liquid diet. I thought the immunity and energy smoothies would help. He loves the book, b/c he was trying to create his own smoothies, with some gross results. (not to mention a huge waste of money on the ingredients!) Then I decided to buy the book for myself. Last year I had purchased a $$ vita-mix blender from a home show and had never used it..(which pissed my husband off immensely) The book of recipes it came with had so many ingredients, some, in which my opinion werent the healthiest. This book is excellent, with most smoothies having just 3-4 ingredients! Our fave is Morning Mash, with an orange, 2 bananas, a pear and 8 tbsp of apple juice! Delicious!

The Big Book of Juices and Smoothies: 365 Natural Blends for Health and Vitality Every Day.......2005-08-04

I love this book. It has nutritional info, tells a lot about different fruits and the recipes are fantastic.

A great starter book for the beginning juicer.......2005-05-20

I recently inherited a lower end store bought juicer ( Juiceman, it is a very nice starter model, btw.). I ordered up a handful of juicing books through my library system and 'The Big Book of Juices & Smoothes' came in first not only to my house but the first for ease of use, layout & design and understanding. It is layed out according to the main product you want to use, say you have a bunch of carrots as the main ingredient, you go to that section. It is all well thought out.

After just a week of juicing for breakfast and an afternoon snack, I have to say that I am hooked and look forward to trying veggies and fruits of the exotic nature that were eschewed before due to the " How do I prepare this?" factor.

Natalie Savona has a way of mixing together fruits and veggies that would normally make you think, " Ugh...that sounds awful." but after trying a few root veggies and citrus fruit combos of hers, I've found her little comments about each drink are spot on.

Under every recipe is a Star Chart that rates the following:
Energy, Detox, Immuinity, Digestion and Skin. One to Five star rating of what exactly that recipe will help you in whatever area you feel you need. This is very nice as you can flip right through the book when you have a raging cold and look for the 5 Star Ratings on Immunity to see what produce you have on hand to help nourish your body.

An example of a recipe: #130 Easy Morning

3 carrots
1 apple
1/2 orange
1 stick of celery
1/2 inch of ginger root.

I prefer this now over regular orange or apple juice in the morning. So do my kids, who are 7 and 5. They also enjoy putting the fruit into the juicer and watching it get pulverized. YAY!

The plus side of juicing is taking out the pulp mush and putting it into your compost. It's a win-win situation, really. Good for you. Good for the Earth. YMMV :)

I liked this book so much, I am buying it after a very satisfying test drive from the library system.

Juicing for Health.......2005-08-16

I really enjoyed this book a lot. It has a lot of very helpful information regarding the benefits of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. I keep it in my kitchen cabinet as a quick reminder of what each fruit or veggie is doing for my body as I juice it. I also use it when talking to others about the benefits of juicing.

Don't Buy this Book for the Number of Recipies.......2003-01-11

Frankly, this book was kind of a disappointment. I bought it thinking it would have a lot of interesting recipes in it. "Over 200 recipes" is claimed in the cover. But many of these combinations I could have thought up myself and they are very simple. The soups, smothies, and sorbet sections are very short with few recipes. Also, the English terminology/spellings can be annoying. Nutritional breakdown of every recipe would be helpful, but it is just given for the fruits and vegetables. I am sure the nutrition changes somewhat when you juice something. The color pictures are also not even in the same section as the recipe, which is also annoying. However, the quantities given for the amount of fruits/veggies you need to make the juices will be helpful. It also gives some basic information on each fruit/vegetable and what they are touted for. This is not a terrible book, but just not what I expected. If you want simple recipes and have no creativity, this may be the book for you. If you are looking for in-depth information and better recipes, this is not what you are looking for.

good basic juicing book.......1999-05-03

Some basic juicing information is given along with lots of recipes. But some of the information on juicing is taken straight from Jay Juiceman's book, right down to a few unsited direct quotes. The part that bothers me is that she fails to give him any credit anywhere in the book, not even a recommended reading list. So if it's more juice recipes you're after, get this book, if it's more detailed information on juicing, get the book she quietly used as a source _The Juiceman's Power of Juicing_ by Jay Kordich.

Excellent nutritional information and tasty recipes........1998-12-06

I found this book an excellent information source for nutritional information on fruit and vegetable juices. It is well organized and indexed by primary fruit and vegetable and contains a section on spicy elements such as ginger root and garlic which can be used to add zest to the juice. Rather than a purely medicinal type book, it has recipes and illustrations for some really tasty treats. My favorite is a carrot parsnip combination with a little parsley ad lib. I use this book every day and recommend it to anyone who wants good health with good taste.

Book Description

Jamba, from the African word "jama," meaning to celebrate, is the philosophy of Jamba Juice, a nationally known chain of smoothie and juice stores. Reasons to celebrate include good health, happiness, and of course, delicious, nutritious, all-natural energizing smoothies.

In Jamba Juice Power Jamba Juice founder Kirk Perron shares dozens of his easy-to-prepare smoothie recipes (a blender is the only equipment required), his nutrition advice (developed with a team of scientists and physicians), and his twenty-one-day lifestyle-changing plan with daily tips for mind, body, and spirit and a relevant smoothie recipe. Jamba Juice Power is filled with Jambaisms-"Do unto your body as you would have it do unto you" (Jambaism #3), health fast-fact sidebars, illustrations, and testimonials, all delivered with the hip, irreverent attitude that has made Jamba Juice a phenomenon.

Customer Reviews:

Regaining part of my youth. Refreshingly WOW.......2007-01-11

Wish we had a jamba Juice store nearby, I'd visit it often. Would like some more information about the vita ingrediants in the book. Never knew Peanut Butter, Mango, Banana, Peaches, Orange Sorbet and crushed ice could taste so good
.

Disappointed even after reading other reviews.......2005-02-23

I had read earlier reviews about the book being more of a "life style" book than a recipe book (there really are only about 40 smoothie recipes), but my biggest disappointment was that ALL of the recipes include either sherbet or frozen yogurt. For me a real smoothie is all fruit.

Different than I was expecting - but a wonderful book!.......2005-01-23

I honestly picked this one up because I just wanted some good smoothie recipes. I wasn't expecting to get a comprehensive 21 day life changing health plan or a brief history of Jamba Juice. I might not have bought it if I had known that was what more than half the book contained.

Good thing I didn't know that because I think the book was well worth the price. There are great recipes in it like I was hoping. Also, the lifestyle advice and the 21 day plan are all very practical and doable and simply focus on getting more produce & fiber in your life and exercising more. Much more sound "diet" advice than everything else out there right now.

A good read and a fun recipe book that is motivating!

A Tasty Read.......2004-03-29

I absolutely looved this book, I have purchased several copies for friends and family. It is full of easy-to-read important health info (not usually my favorite reading subject) and practical tips for staying (or getting) healthy, becoming energized, and de-stressing! The recipes are simple and delicious, with a wide variety of flavors; with a family of five, this was especially helpful. I have been able to sneak my children?s vitamin and mineral supplements into their morning smoothies (a tip I had read in an article written by Dr. Oz regarding his own children). I hope to read more work by these authors in the future, until then I intend to keep my family Jamba Juicing at home- Thanks!

Best book I've read in a long time. A must for all........2004-03-27

Jamba Juice Power is a must read. I am forty years old and the last program I tried was Dr. Phil's, to no avail. This book changed everything. I learned that well being is not just physical but emotional and spiritual also. The recipes were realistic and my family loved them. The authors touched on many great tips that perhaps we all know are correct, just hard to put into practice. This was also made easy to digest by a 21 day program that was easy to follow. (Not a bunch of prepacked food to buy, meetings to attend and money to spend). After I write this review I plan to write the publisher and give a thank you for a book that every person should read.

This is my first juice book. I love the section on "super healthy juices" and "vital veggie blends". Good recipes for the serious juicer and for the those who want to have fun creating some exotic juice blends...check out "extra exotic coolers" Also, the pictures are WONDERFUL. They have color photos for the insturctions and the finish product for just about all the recipes. I highly recommemd this book to add to your juice book collection!

Tasty mix of recipes.......2005-08-19

Beautiful pictures, delicious recipes, and sound bits of general advice such as "mix an acidic and a sweet juice together." The recipes offer a wide range of taste treats, from super healthy juices to tempting dessert drinks. While the authors recommend a juicer, I have made all the recipes I've tried so far (about half in the book) using a Magic Bullet blender without a juicer attachment. One suggestion to the authors for future editions: include the nutritional information for those of us watching our weight, sodium intake, and more.

Inspiring!.......2001-08-11

I loved this book. While I've only used the smoothie/juice recipes, this book has provided me with great results. The recipes are excellent, but you also get a sense of what things you can use to create your own.

In fact, it's the only book I leave out on my kitchen counter, since I know I'm going to use it at least 3 times a week!

Ingredients for Delicious, Healthy Living.......2000-08-16

This book is a must for everyone who wants to maintain good health as well as focus on recipes to improve well-being. Having recently learned a little about the benefits of green tea, I'm happy to see suggestions which add some variety to this beverage. I've always been a fan of smoothies, and there are plenty in this little (but powerful) book.

Up until now I haven't used soy milk very much. But Anita Hirsch has included so many ways to prepare and blend this, that several are bound to become favorites.

I also appreciate seeing many other types of drink: soups and teas as well as refreshingly cold beverages. Drink To Your Health has already become a ready reference in my kitchen.

Drink to Your Health.......2002-06-28

Anne McIntyre not only filled Drink to Your Health with dozens of easy recipes for juices, teas, soups, and smoothies, she also included vibrant photographs of the fresh ingredients used in the recipes. Her book is a visual, as well as culinary, pleasure.

McIntyre starts with an explanation of why water is so important-our bodies are seventy-five percent water. We lose 3 quarts of water every day through normal functions like breathing, perspiring, and urinating. All that liquid must be replaced, and she offers healthy and delicious alternatives to simply drinking lots of plain water.

The next section includes a discussion of the primary ingredients used in the recipes. She describes each one completely, including a brief history of its use, the nutrients it contains, and all the good things it can do for the body. Spices, grains, nuts, fruits, and vegetables all have a page in this section.

Recipes, classified by benefit offered, fill the rest of the book. McIntyre includes drinks for looking and feeling good, drinks for recovering from illness, and drinks for healing the soul and spirit.

Losing weight, clear eyes, great skin and hair, raising energy, stimulating the immune system, and boosting the brain are part of feeling good. Illnesses include clearing coughs and other cold symptoms, flu-busters, headaches, fevers, insomnia, arthritis, PMS, and many others. Drinks for relieving anxiety and stress, renewal, and helping depression round out the healing recipes.

I can personally vouch for the effectiveness of Nero's Nectar, a very simple recipe for relieving chest congestion due to a cold!

McIntyre ends with an appendix offering tips on things like selecting blenders and juicers, and choosing ingredients. (Yes, canned foods can be used if fresh isn't available.)

McIntyre says that "the recipes in [Drink to Your Health] are not just boring alternatives for teetotallers or health fanatics, but have been selected to stimulate the senses and scintillate the taste buds, at the same time improving health and vitality." Readers will find that her recipes provide an easy and delicious way to look and feel good.

Refreshing and Revitalizing.......2000-11-04

This book is carefully-crafted in many aspects to make you feel whole, refreshed, inspired, and revitalized. The illustrations, the invaluable knowledge, and the easy to follow directions make it a great addition to any healthy-kitchen. I have tried quite a few of the drinks and find them very tasty and also true-to-their word--coughs have stopped, eyes have brightened, skin has cleared, etc. It's very well-written, informative, and nice to look at. The only thing that is a little disconcerting is the amount of sugar required for some of the recipes--I'm sure Ms. McIntyre has a health related reason for doing this, but I prefer not to use that much sugar--I usually replace the sugar with a lower dose of much healthier organic honey. Great book though--I consume one of its drinks everyday.

Wow!! The best smoothie book I've read, with so much more........2000-08-09

I bought this book on vacation, and it was one of the best choices I've made in a long time. I could barely walk back to the hotel before opening it! Inside I first found a section on ingredients and their healing powers. Next, there's a huge recipe selection of smoothies, juices, teas, soups, and nonalcoholic drinks, organized by what health benifits they have. Lastly, there is an appendage talking about blenders and juicers, health, and other topics. The photographs in the book are clear and beautiful. Although every drink is delicious, I highly reccommend the Jamaican Grapefruit Spritz for weight loss and the smooothie with banana, honey, and nutmeg.
