Today I have a set of books that offer a great Mother's Day gift for the Mom
who wants to change the way she eats, and eat healthy!
Synopsis:
Science has proven that green leafy vegetables and fruit knock all others off the top spot for their spectacular concentration of phytonutrients, vitamins, and fiber. And the quickest way to get an instant boost of these healthy greens is in a juice or smoothie. Packed with raw, whole vegetables and fruit, as well as herbs, spices, and healthy fats, the fabulous recipes in Clean & Green are literally a health boost in a glass--or a bowl of soup. If you juice regularly, you'll be getting all the essential vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals that you need. Each chapter covers the main health benefits of juicing: Cleanse your body with a Grapefruit Crush or the Parsley Purifier; get a healthy glow from a Fennel Flush or a Kiwi Quencher; detox with a Grape & Lychee Reviver, a Green Tea Punch, or a Mint Rejuvenator; and soothe your digestive system by drinking a Pineapple Pump, a Broccoli Booster, or a Spinach Aid. Whether you're trying to get in shape, boost your general health, or give your body a deeply nourishing cleanse, incorporating green juices and smoothies into your diet is the simplest and most effective way to eat clean and green!
Review:
This is another book from Love Foods, a division of Parragon Foods, aimed at healthy eating via the science os green leafy veggies and fruits. You know, the stuff without all the preservatives (we hope)!The book starts with why green are good for you, then how to cleanse healthy, then how to 'green' for nutrition, then how to "green" for detoxing and ends with how to soothe with greens. So if you are looking to use this book as a means of cleansing and detoxing with greens, it has you covered! Most of the recipes are very simple, requiring only items you should have already and a blender or juicer. Easy peasy. Many of the recipes are cool and refreshing, making it perfect for Summer refreshment and meal substitutions! If you, or someone else you know, wants to cleanse, and eat healthier,this is the book to get you started!
The second book in this gift set idea, is one you need to get you started:
Synopsis:
Detoxing is not just for the short term – you can enjoy the benefits of everyday detoxing all year round with these fantastic recipes. Covering breakfasts and juices, lunches, mains, snacks and desserts, this book will show you how to make the most of good-for-you ingredients that are super tasty but, just as importantly, healthy for you too. You can learn how to make delicious Buckwheat Noodle Salad or yummy Raw Tahini Caramel Square. With nutritional information and hints and tips throughout, this book is a must-have in your kitchen.
Review:
This second book is an additional entry into the Love Foods Kitchen series, that I shared with you before. Like the other books, it offers a healthier way of eating, but this book shows you how to detox your body to get to the healthy eating way of life. Even if you aren't looking at a permament detox, this book can help you do a 2 week one and drop some weight before swimsuit season. Plus teh detox would get your body ready for more lite Summer fare, aka more vegges and salads. The included drinks and smoothies are cool and perfect for Summer, and sneaking some goodness into your kids' diets too!The book covers breakfast,lunch and dinner, as well as desserts. Add it to the Clean Kitchen book and you have an excellent gift set for the Mom who wants to change their way of eating!
