Informative, easy to follow, excellent recipes!
Informative with a lot of nutritional values, macro breakdown, and what type of juicers the recipes would do best in, as well as a detailed index in the back. Very easy to follow, the instructions were clear and precise. A vast array of excellent recipes that all tasted surprisingly well, and the chapters helped with finding recipes that suited my goals, whether for skin, brain health, digestion, weight loss and much more! Highly recommend!

150 Health-Conscious Juice Combos
So you've got a juicer: what do you do with it? The Juicing Recipes book has 150 combinations of fruits and vegetables that you can try. Geared toward people who are health conscious, the cookbook has chapters focus on different areas of concern such as weight loss and antioxidant rich juices. Recipes are straightforward and easy-to-follow and have an average of 3-5 ingredients--some have as few as two, and some as many as 8. I think this cookbook would also be great for people who have a CSA (community supported agriculture) box and need ideas about how to use that lone beet or kiwi or extra carrot.While I think that the book makes some questionable health claims (Can a juice "reduce diabetes"? No. Can it help prevent an insulin spike by including a limited amount of carbs? Yes.) it generally tries to be helpful from a nutritional standpoint. Each recipe includes clear nutritional information, including calories, sugar and carbs (it's worth noting that the recipes do not include stats on fiber). None of the recipes have added sugar (hooray!) and most of the recipes sneak some kind of green veggies in.There are quite a few recipes that I'm looking forward to trying including the folic acid-rich Morning Brain Boost (carrots and apples, spinach and beets), Green Energy Juice (kale-yum!, apples, lemon, ginger, mint), Pineapple Papaya Juice, the beta-carotine rich Mango-Carrot Focus juice, the Superfood Superjuice (a mix of berries, pineapple and spinach), and the very refreshing-sounding Watermelon Mint juice.The book also has an excellent chapter on juice recipes for kids including some lower cal homemade versions of juices that kids generally love like Cranberry Apple juice, Carrot Apple Juice, Strawberry Kiwi juice and Grape Juice.Disclosure: I received a free copy of this cookbook to review.

Great recipes
I really like this little book. Sometimes I feel recipes are the same but they are not. There are slight tweeks. I do NOT follow recipes and add or subtract as I feel and still this is a good guide. You know kinda like when a recipe calls for 1 clove of garlic and we add 4 heads of garlic instead. That's me! I loosely let the recipe guide me. These recipes are easy to do that with and still taste great.

Your How-To Guide For Jumping Into Juicing!
This book is fantastic! Although it is geared more towards novice juicers, it definitely has something to offer for everyone trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This is not solely a recipe book. It incorporates facts, history, and prepping tips about a long list of various fruits and vegetables. It also tells the reader why certain combinations are most beneficial for certain recipes. For instance, one recipe calls for celery and carrots. The narrator discusses what happens when you blend the two together by noting their complementing tastes as well as the types of vitamins and minerals the drinker is ingesting when drinking that particular recipe. I also enjoyed the pictures and cutesy names for recipes such as, “Beet The Clock” for an anti-aging juice recipe and “Breakfast Mojito” to give it a brunch-y, drink feel. Chapter one and two could be guidebooks on their own. They fully break-down the three central juicers that are on the market and the advantages and disadvantages of using each one. There are helpful charts peppered throughout too in order to look-up quick prepping methods, calories, the type of juicer you as an individual should be using and/or buying, and ingredient substitutes. From kid-friendly to diabetic recipes, there truly is an option for anyone looking to jump into juicing. I do have to disclose that I received this book for free, but I would still purchase it regardless, as a consumer.
