Research says:

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.

"Green Smoothie Revolution" gives the best information available regarding benefits and the 'whys'. Also the most extensive list i've seen of wild edibles, many of which are available on my hill. I have personally given away over ten of this book to friends and interested family members. The 'revolution' has begun !!!

This was an eye-opener. She is very enthusiastic about green smoothies.
I have tried some and find they are not bad at all. I should have them
more often than I do. Very easy way to get your "greens".

Easy to ready. Can be read in stages instead of reading the entire book at once before embarking on the journey.

I received the book ordered in good order and condition. It seemed to take a long time coming, but in all probability was not very long afterall. I would be very happy to do business with Amazon in the future.

I wanted more nutritional information about what was in my green smoothie.. I wanted why a certain thing was good or not good for you and what the health benefits were of say strawberry seeds and tops.. It was not the book I really wanted.

This book is excellent! I love it for every reason this book is appealing. I totally ignored the recipes and just read the rest of the book, and would recommend it to anyone interested in this topic. I now make green smoothies every morning for me & my boyfriend, and we're addicted. :)

My husband was so impressed with this book, he ordered 4 more for friends. My husband is a vegetarian and I am not, so the smoothies he made I did not like. He makes one at least every other day. I think I might prefer the fruit smoothies. One I tried that he made me and I wasn't impressed, but I think it was just his way of putting it together. Anyway, he loves the book.

I was clueless on how to go about making a green smoothie. All I knew is that they sound healthy, and I'm trying to be healthy. I got a good understanding now the first few chapters are great at explaining the why, and I didnt know but this person claims they invented the "green smoothie". There are more than enough recipes in the book. Without this book I would have never discoverd I like Kale!

The author, Victoria Boutenko, writes to grab the reader and make you want to learn more. she presents her material and research in a very simply and understandable manner, however she shows how everything is backed up 100%. This book really made me realize that the health that i wanted was so simple. it all make sense and is simply logic on why so many people are unhealthy and diseased. if oyu have ever taken a biology or anatomy or nutrition class, you can see where all of her theories and research fit in

I'm HOOKED! No, my skin is not turning green--I just feel more energized. Just love this new venture in taking care of my health. I consider myself a nutrition enthusiast, and found the reading very interesting and informative after many years of interest in the subject. The recipes are more extensive than I had imagined. But, I think they need a bit more editing. In other words, the reader may need to use common sense to figure out that some recipes are missing the amount of water or liquid that shoul

This Book has changed my life... my wife and I have introduced green smoothies to our diet and quadrupled our intake of leafy green veggies! We both feel the best we've felt in years. We've been drinking about 3 very large smoothies per day and have both lost weight and have way more energy.. I highly recommend this easy diet!

'Green Smoothie Revolution..' isn't really all that much of a book. A good chunk of the book contains green smoothie recipes, which is greatly appreciated. And there are a few pages devoted to a testimonial by person who lost a tremendous amount of weight by going on a raw food diet which I found interesting. But the rest of the book seemed too fluffy in describing the medical advantages of consuming green smoothies. The author also loses value by talking too much about her family, especially her "pinch their cheeks cause they are so adorable" two kids. She seems like someone who invites you over to her home and shoves the family photo album in your face before you get a chance to sit down.


Bottom line: for this already green smoothie convert I found this book to be a let down.

I've had this book and a blend-tec blender for a month now and was worried when I first forked over the $$$ for the blender that I was making a huge mistake, but I was wrong. I got interested in green smoothies while researching ways to supplement our diet. We ate fairly well for standard Americans, but my son's health started to decline about a year after he entered preschool. I was looking for a way to get vitamins in him that he wouldn't fight me over and green smoothies have turned out to be the miracle for us.

At first we started out with just a few greens - to be sure we would stick with it. My son loved it but after a week or two, I noticed he didn't want it as much as at first. Then my husband told me that he felt like he needed more greens, so I added more and surprisingly my son sucked it down and asked for more. We still can't believe it. (He's 3).

So for real beginners, this is a great introduction. Without the guide, I just threw everything in the refrigerator in my first two smoothies and couldn't figure out why they were so horrible. Now we feel we are ready to start making more moves towards raw, which before seemed like an impossible dream. Yes, our health is beginning to improve, our energy is beginning to increase - and we know this is only the beginning.

Thank you Boutenkos!!

First of all, I highly recommended the author's Green for Life - it is the definitive work on green smoothies. Oddly, this highly anticipated sequel is the same book, but with less information. Instead of expanding on the ideas in the first book, she simply cut all out all the background research on the importance of greens and added more recipes. If you really need hundreds of smoothie recipes, you may appreciate this book, but for most people, once you have a few recipes down you'll feel comfortable experimenting on your own. I have no idea why this book was written. But buy Green for Life - it's what this book tried to be and so much more.
