Awesome read and just finished going through the last recipe. This is exactly what I need with all the unhealthy food that I am exposed to during the holiday.What I like most about this book is that the author goes through her own experience and adds some very helpful and valuable insights and this is why this book is so inspirational and unique. She does not just serve the reader up with a bunch of random recipes like so many of these typical vegan, raw food, juicing, and smoothie drinks book do. She goes through the effort of showing her own results pretty much like a case study or a journal that the reader can benefit from.It is not just a recipe collection and a bunch of recipes that do not do anything for you because she shows you exactly what ingredients is healthy for what weakness and what ingredient heals what body part.Each recipe is explained and beneficial to the reader so that the reader knows if the recipe is a good fit or not. Not only does she rip apart the ingredients and gives the reader very valuable information about each ingredient and recipe, but she also tested all the high speed blenders and only gives you her best recommendations of what blender works so that the reader does not have to go through this effort.I mean I don't know about others, but talking about my own situation I know that the unhealthy holiday chocolate has been building up in my system. I have been eating way too much crap and way too rich food. This book gives me the perfect solution to deal with that problem in a fun way. As I said before I love this lifestyle approach because getting just a bunch of lame recipes without any value is kind of boring.It might not be for someone who is looking to go through hours of rehashed smoothie recipes to see if he or she can find something new because this is definitely not what this book is about.This book takes a completely fresh and new approach to boring recipe books. She adds so much other things that once can use or can not use as an option in order to better one's health and mind life. It is up to the reader to chose what to use, but she makes reading about healthy recipes fun and exciting again because lately I have become sick with these typical boring recipe books that do nothing else than rehash a bunch of recipes into a collection with a new name.It is very refreshing and interesting to read about someone's insights and how they became successful going through a daily smoothie experience. If it takes a little bit more than just smoothies and if the author gives some additional insights into her spiritual and health life I want to know about how she did it because I want to get rid of some nasty health issues, too.People forget that there is some work to do in addition to reading about it. A stack of recipes won't do it! Juliana got rid of her Asthma by doing stuff folks. She went through the effort and the work and she talks about it in a non sugar coated way. Most people expect a push button solution which does not exist so I do not recommend this read to someone who thinks that this is a collection of recipes that are the perfect solution for everybody who reads them. You have to take the time and the effort to apply it for yourself and take her advice that comes from multiple refreshing and out of the box type thinking angles.If you expect magic don't do it! If you are looking just for a bunch of old recipes or a rehashed recipe collection this is not what you need. You are getting 49 of most awesome smoothie recipes but lots more and this is the stuff that is going to bring the ultimate result because the recipes alone are worth nothing! They do not mean anything without having someone go through the experience.This is the only smart way to do a recipe book because there is not other way than with going through the experience in order to make something successful and working. I guess this goes for everything that one does in life. People who do not get that success is built on a personal journal or a case study should not buy the book because those people should rather continue to waist time and money on worthless recipe collections so that they can go through their self fulfilling prophecy.Truly, this book inspires me to fix all of these delicious looking and healthy smoothies for myself and the time during Christmas where everything is too rich too heavy and too fat seems perfect to me to get started with a lifestyle like this.What I also find valuable is that the author has been going through the experience of consuming satisfying smoothies on a daily basis and like this she has been able to fight her Asthma very effectively.Again not a push button solution and not a buch of rehashed recipe collection but real valuable personal experience to better one's life and health via smoothies.I mean does not need more health in one's life so I am looking forward to go through the discovery process and see what this lifestyle is going to do for my own health.Overall, the book taught me a lot about healthy smoothies and gave me a great lecture on the spirituality of things and that mental peace is part of this holistic success formula.I do know now about the many health benefits of smoothies so that I can chose exactly what smoothie to prepare in order to get a specific health benefit out of the smoothie consumption.I really can not wait to check out some more of these deliciously illustrated smoothie recipes and go through the discover phase myself during this holiday season and to keep my system lean and clean.What a delicious way to prevent any sicknesses and say bye bye to the doctor. I am seeing everyone with a runny nose theses days and everyone I am talking to is not feeling well is feeling well so this time of the year in my opinion is the perfect time to go through this because who likes to get sick and who needs a flu anyway? This is a fun and preventive healthy lifestyle and isn't doing something like this way more exciting than running around like a clueless person getting sick through the most critical days of the year and depending on one doctor after the other?I can't recommend this book too much and I highly recommend it to everyone who can critically look herself or himself in the eyes and who is willing to check up on his or her own lifestyle. Be sure to include the ingredients from the recipes into your own life and your mental and physical system will reward you for years to come! Brillant because this is true double your life type of information for people who care about their and their family's future and not for people who are just looking to get entertained with a bunch of rehashed recipes that they can call a new recipe collection that they added to their stack of books to make it look good and to brag about.This stuff is adding usability into your life and it shows you how to use smoothies in a positive way to achieve what you want for your physical/mental health and for your looks because these ingredients do also have beautifying benefits and they help you stay lean.So far the book has been very usable to me because I am a mom of 6 year old twin boys and a little girl and I want to achieve the most natural and health lifestyle that I can adapt to my stressful life and so far I can say this lifestyle totally works for me and I find the smoothie drinks delicious and satisfying. I feel more focus and concentration already and I just feel fitter and more energized overall. Last year I had to fight a bad flu, but this year no flu whatsoever! I guess the apple theorie really works!I am going to continue my personal journal with this and keep adding more of my own experiences to this review in order to show to others what kind of progress I am making with my smoothie lifestyle.So far I have been able to fight off any nasty winter flu and cold. I feel energized, very organized and effective, happy, satisfied and fitter than ever before.So far I am really liking this...to be continued!
