Rating: - Healthy Raw Eating
I had really chalked all this up to another "fad diet" until I got a case of terrible indigestion and acid reflux that had my digestive system roiling for months. I went to a nutritionist and he put me on a raw foods detox program for a month. I got this book trying to find out more about the basis for this diet. The information in the book is interesting and makes sense to me in a way that I believe I will always eat under this program. I just recently had a physical and compared it to the physical I had 2 yrs ago. I have always considered myself to be healthy but was shocked to compare the results. 2 yrs ago my cholesterol was 233; it is now 165. 2 yrs ago I had 40% body fat. I am now below 30%. My friends say I look really healthy and my skin is glowing!

Rating: - Life Changing Ideas
Pros:
* Easy and fascinating read
* I now understand the power of greens.
* Truly energising recipes - my teenage son is hooked!
* I'm also hooked!

Cons:
* Since reading the book, my son and I have enjoyed smoothies every day. Unfortunately, although there are 7 pages of recipes, it's not enough! Hopefully, Victoria Boutenko will write a (larger) book just devoted to green smoothie recipes!

Rating: - Green Smoothies changed my life!
Because of this book, I was inspired to start drinking Green Smoothies. I had been battling chronic fatigue syndrome for over 7 years. The combination of eliminating processed sugars, eliminating wheat, and drinking Green Smoothies "cured" me. My husband got his wife back and my kids got their mom back.

The book explains why we need more dark green leafy vegetables in our diet, how to make the greens taste better (Green Smoothies of course), and what health changes you can expect after drinking them.

I was especially impressed with the information on how much protein is in dark green vegetables.

When I say this book changed my life I have to add that not only was it the missing "key" where my cure for chronic fatigue was concerned... I also got a new job because of this book! In the book she recommends using a Vita-Mix machine to process the greens. When I watched a local Vita-Mix demonstration, I said to myself, "I could do this", and long story short... I am now a very happy and fulfilled Vita-Mix show demonstrator!

Whether you want to become an "all raw foodist" or you just want to find an enjoyable way to increase the amount of raw fruits and vegetables in your diet, I HIGHLY recommend, "Green For Life".
