Excellent... I liked that the author straight off cautions that juicing removes most of the nutrient- and vitamin- rich fiber, pulp and skin, stressing the importance of adding the pulp and fiber back into your diet. He also suggests ways of adding in extra protein, while pointing out the high sugar content in fruit juices and the need for balancing with non-sweet vegetables, offering a working ratio of fruit to vegetables.Guidelines included more than washing hands and equipment with hot water and soap, but to be sure your blender or juicer is completely dry to avoid bacterial growth. Too often these very important basics are overlooked. Many other excellent tips and tricks are also offered that I haven’t seen in other books on juicing.I was also glad to see that Fat Burning Juices were listed in their own chapter as were Energy Juices, and Detox Juices. Nuances were noted. Pertinent information was given on Smoothies, including the benefits of additional yogurt, tofu and seeds.All-in-all a great introduction to juicing that arms you with the knowledge and flavorful basics to expand your own tastes while keeping particular health benefits of individual fruits and vegetables. Highly recommended.
