Give your body the boost it needs with a mouth-watering drink from The Juice Bar. For breakfast, power-up on slow-release energy, with drinks such as Muesli Motivator or Berry Kick-start. When you?re thirsty, rehydrate with, a cool, ice-packed Raspberry and Watermelon Crush or Minted Melon Squash. If you?re getting set for sport, a quick energy shot from fruits that are high in natural sugars, such as Blueberry Blast or Peach Energizer, is what you need. There are vitamin-C-packed drinks to help you fight colds, herbal remedies to purify your body, and tummy soothers to cleanse the system and aid digestion too. Bursting with facts on the health benefits of different fruits and vegetables, tips on how to get the most from your juicer or blender and ideas for decorating your glass to glam up your drinks when entertaining, this book will help you squeeze every last drop of goodness from those fruits and vegetables!

So all your needs are covered from A to Z! There are great full color pictures for every recipe, so you know what they should look like. But the best part of the book is it teaches you to mix your veggies and fruits, to come up with combinations that fit YOUR needs!
Miss Grace gabbed the book when it came in and instantly was entranced with the
Up the Anti Smoothie
Now we didn't have any avocados, and to be honest, that ingredient sorta freaked Miss Grace out, so we substituted banana instead.

Looks YUMMY doesn't it?
here's the recipes
Now we didn't have any avocados, and to be honest, that ingredient sorta freaked Miss Grace out, so we substituted banana instead.
As you can see our results came out pretty darn close in looks! And Miss Grace was thrilled to find out that Mom's Iced Coffee maker could be used for an alternative purpose, for HER. LOL. It was a pretty good smoothie and she decided she wanted to make them into frozen pops. So we made a second batch, and were able to make up 5 frozen pops, from it and the left overs from the initial batch So if you're looking for a healthy alternative to kids's frozen pops, check this recipe out! Then head on over and check out the book- it's perfect for the entire family!
