Product Description
Thanks to processed and fast foods, being overworked, and feeling stressed while eating on the fly, it is increasingly difficult for most of us to eat anywhere near a balanced diet. We may not be obviously sick, but may suffer from lack of focus, insomnia, sluggishness, or any host of symptoms caused by nutritional deficiency. Green Smoothie Revolution takes aim at this silent epidemic by restoring balance to our diets.
Combining nutrition and know-how with recipes that pack a powerhouse punch, Victoria Boutenko reintroduces long neglected fruits, vegetables, and greens in the most persuasive style for our busy lives: with fast prep and delicious results. Featuring 200 recipes, Green Smoothie Revolution offers both simplicity (4 ripe pears, 1 bunch parsley, 2 cups water; blend well) and enough variety to keep taste buds happy and nutrients coming from a wealth of options.

I thought this book was a waste of time and money. I love green smoothies and thought this book would give me more suggestions of how to create them. I also expected to be inspired. I was completely disappointed.

The book was as advertised, and arrived promptly. Now I need to try some of the recipes. After browsing through the pages I am satisfied that I will receive great benefit from the advice on preparation and mixing my own smoothies at home.

The GOOD and BAD:
* luckily, the first smoothie i made was tasty sweet. i was happy i could eat kale in raw form without having to spend an hour cooking it and seasoning it to make it edible to me. the second smoothie i made was also edible and pretty tasty for being green. unfortunately, the last two i made were NASTY. i drank them to avoid wasting food and did not let my husband drank them.
in summary:
Sun Green Pudding - tasty, had kale, dates and raisins made it sweet.
Banacado - tasty. lots of dates. beware if you are sensitive to carbs. dates have lots of carbs and bananas as well.
Basic Balance (in the green smoothie for beginners section) - GROSS.
Morning Zing Smoothie (in the green smoothie for beginners section) - GROSS. too much ginger!!!
i advice probably staying away from the beginners chapter and sticking to the other sections. perhaps it’s just that section that has bad luck
* if you are sick with the flu or something and need an immunity boost, i think green smoothies are a good way to go. just hope you get a tasty one or well, you may feel more nausea after

I didn’t love this book. It seems to me it was written in a hurry and left out the things I really wanted to know, had lots of random information and the suggestion that I’ll be “poisoned” if I eat too much of good greens. (Please show me the proof because that’s scary.) I don’t want to know about smoothies for pets, but I’d like to know about all the different ingredients that should go in the blender, what the virtues are of all the different greens, best places to obtain them, and BETTER recipes (the ones I’ve tried are yucky). I read another of this author’s books and liked it better, and she is a genuine voice in nutrition. I read another book on green smoothies that was infinitely better. Maybe Boutenko was in a hurry to get this finished.

Green Smoothie Revolution: The Radical Leap Toward Natural Health
In the past 2 years I have really gotten into the raw foods diet and although I do not practice it as much in the winter I still try to get in at least one raw meal a day (we live in VT and produce is not so great in the winter). Somedays this means just keeping it simple and having a green smoothie usually for breakfast, sometimes at lunch. The recipe book Green Smoothie Revolution by Victoria Boutenko has been a great resource for making some delicious green smoothies as well as providing a ton of information about green smoothies in sections such as The Importance of Rotating Greens in Your Smoothies and Food Combining in Green Smoothies.
The second part of this book features:
Tips and Tricks for Smoothie Preparatoin
Green Smoothies for Beginners
Supergreen Smoothies
Savory Green Smoothies and Soups
Green Smoothies for the Adventurous Souls
Green Puddings
Green Smoothies for children
Green Smoothies for Pets
Green Smoothies for Body Care
So far I have been mostly playing around with recipes from Green Smoothies for Beginners, Supergreen Smoothies and Green Smoothies for Children however I am interested in trying some green soups and puddings soon. The great part about this book is the variety of recipes there are, 200 to be precise, that are all fun and different. The recipes use a variety of greens to keep things interesting as well as a number of great fruit and veggie combinations. My favorites (so far) have been the Medallion Melon which is simple cantaloupe and romaine- simple and delicious. However, my absolute favorite and so far go to smoothie has been the Winter Green Smoothie which is berries, spinach, water and ginger- soooo good.
Over all this is a great book for those interested in raw foods, green smoothies and healthy new ways to get greens into ones diet.
