Customer Reviews

Before green smoothies, there were Ann Wigmore's blended drinks

I can remember Ann making a group of us one of her blended drinks at the old Hippocrates Health Center. She was so passionate about it. An apple. Some sunflower/buckwheat greens. Avocado, rejevalac. Tasty. Balanced. Full of green. Ann was a radiantly healthy woman, ageless. She was committed to health and healing, and her blended recipes were in many ways a precursor for the now globally active green smoothie movement. This book is very useful wisdom altogether.

Master Juicer, Raw foodist

This is a wonderful book. I highly suggest reading all of Ann Wigmore's books. These books are highly educational for all that are researching and educating themselves on raw foods. Great book, very enlightening. Must read for anyone that is interested in changing their lifestyle for the better.

Wonderful, easy blended recipes!

This is the best source of blended juice recipes I've found yet, easy to use and make. Of course the author is famous for curing all types of diseases. I have been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and have been drinking blended juices since I was discharged from a weeks hospital stay. At my 6 week check-up the doctor said I was doing very, very well with a tone of amazement in his voice. He, nor any gastrointerologis, doesn't believe diet has anything to do with this disease, but it does and I will cure it and they will ask me how when they perform a colonoscopy next and I will share my treatment with them. Perhaps if more do this then more doctors will realize the benefits of raw/living eating and start recommending this instead of perscription drugs that do more harm to other vital organs than good! I don't care to live the rest of my life on medications, they just don't taste as good as blended juices or lovely vegetables!

Great way to start a return to good health.

Very interesting book, but Ann Wigmore books always are. I'm now back to making Rejuvalac, and fermenting vegies. I've bought, since reading the book, A 5-1/4 gallon new crock, and two one gallon fermenting jars for making pickles and pickled Vegies such as Kim Chee. The book has been an inspiration.
