Juice Cleanse Recipes from Mendocino Press is an excellent book for anyone wanting to explore the benefits of a one, three, five or seven day juice cleanse. There are 125 delicious recipes.

The book explores the advantages and benefits of a juicing fast as well as some cautions. It also gives advice on post cleansing. The recipes are divided into sections such as morning kick-starters, cleansing juices, antioxidant juices, low-fat juices, all day essentials, high energy juices, green energy boosters, protein juices, digestive health juices, and sweet somethings.

I think everyone would agree that you want recipes that are easily found at your grocery store. These recipes deliver just that. All the recipes give a great-tasting drink. Very pleased with this book.

The “Juice Cleanse” has been bandied about for the last several years as a sort of health trend ritual. I had some dim idea of what it involved, but never knew the specifics, that is, until I read Juice Cleanse Recipes. The book does a fine job of clarifying what a juice cleanse is, from a physiological, dietary and even spiritual angle.There is still come vagueness about just what the juice cleanse is meant to accomplish. There is room for personal interpretation there. The main idea is that one can lose some weight while on the 1-7 day cleanse, also giving the body’s detoxification and digestion systems a vacation, and breaking bad eating habits.The juices themselves sound delicious. There are dozens of recipes, and the ideas of all the fresh fruits and vegetables mingling is enticing. I was surprised by the emphasis on spices. All of the above are described in some detail, including their active ingredients, benefits, and how to buy the purest product.There are barriers to entry as well. In addition to buying a juicer, one must expect to be weak as a kitten during the juice cleanse. The book approaches the experience like some sort of sweat lodge ceremony or eastern purity experience, one that demands a completely clear schedule and certain level of dedication. The cleanse plans in the book are also highly regimented, leaving little room for creativity. This amount of logistics and expense and potential misery made me wonder if the benefits would really be worthwhile.It seems like one would have to be committed to the idea of the juice cleanse already before buying this book, otherwise it’s pretty easy to imagine it gathering digital dust.Disclosure: I received this book at no charge.

If you are one who want to detox (rid your body of harmful toxins), the Juice Cleanse Recipes: Juicing Detox Plans to Revitalize Health and Energy book is for you.This easy to read guide shows you how to use the right juices to cleanse your body, lose weight, and improve overall health.Juices such as Cucumber, Celery, and Carrot Cleanser is a great start for your day. Cucumbers are rich in vitamin K while celeryis full of vitamins A and C, and carrots are loaded with many nutrients. When blended together you will get a juice to not only detox and cleanse, but also get improved bone, blood, and heart health.It is generally recommended to use a blender to make your own juices with the ratio of 80-90% vegetable and 10-20% fruit, to prevent juices from being too sweet There are also juices to aid in digestive health, high energy, protein, and low fat as well.

The juice cleanse diet is a relatively new fad I've recently heard about. Although I don't condone the cleanse for long term (ie: for more than a few days), mainly because there's little to no protein or unsaturated fat content, I do like the idea of getting ample vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables.As a juice recipe book, it yields great ideas and interesting fruit and vegetable pairings. But the introductory remarks and background information was contradictory a couple of times: 1) It say that the juicers remove fiber from the vegetables and fruit, thus promoting better/ quicker nutrient absorption. But it also says fiber is a necessary in a regular diet. 2) It also says that you may feel a decrease in stamina from the juice cleanse, because you don't consume as many calories, but that you should revisit the juice cleanse when feeling fatigued.I personally wouldn't following a strict 7-day juice cleanse regime because I know I'll be irritable without actually eating food, but for anyone who is trying to lose weight, this book offers excellent recipes and suggestions. As I'm interested in a single meal-replacement with a juice, this book provides more than a handful of recipes! And as a newbie to the cleanse, I like the quick, yet detailed, overview of how many different types of juicers there are to choose from (with pros/cons). Also, there is a detailed list of herbs and spices and their benefits that I never knew before. Each recipe has helpful tips (ie: how to properly cut a lime flesh from the skin, to maximize the flesh) or nutrient information (ie: which vitamins are abundant in which fruits or vegetables).For anyone who wants a healthy adjustment to their diet, whether it be for a single meal-replacement or for up to a week, I recommend this juice cleanse recipe book. I was given this recipe book for free, and in exchange, I provided a review.

Really great book. Don’t go straight to the recipes, read the first part of the book because it makes sense of why we eat certain foods and which foods do what etc. It also includes a short paragraph under each recipe of what each ingredient does for us. Highly recommend. Lovely juices. Just make sure you’ve got a slow juicer as it maintains all the flavour. It’s worth investing in a good one like the Omega 8006 which is very easy to clean. Search for best price.
