From the Publisher

SAMPLE RECIPE

Tropical Turmeric

This juice is based on an ancient recipe that originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and was used by Rishis and Brahmans as a preparation for worship. It is tangy and slightly sour, with a pungent, satisfying bite. It’s also intensely purifying, in part because of the inclusion of turmeric root. Mangos are loaded with more than 20 different vitamins and minerals, including an abundance of provitamin A, beta- and alpha-carotene, and vitamin C. Carotenoids work synergistically with vitamin A to protect your eyes from oxidative damage while protecting your vision.

1 1-inch (2.5 cm) piece turmeric root, peeled and sliced

3 mangos, quartered, pitted and peeled

1 1-inch (2.5 cm) piece peeled gingerroot

2 lemons, peeled and sliced (see Tips, below)

12 sprigs fresh mint (about 1⁄2 bunch)

2 cups (500 mL) young coconut water

1. Using a juicer, process turmeric, then half each of the mangos, ginger, lemons and mint. Following the same order, repeat with the remaining mangos, ginger, lemon and mint.

2. Add coconut water and whisk well. Serve immediately.

Tips

When peeling lemons for juicing, be sure to leave behind as much white pith as possible. The pith of the lemon contains high concentrations of bioflavonoids such as limonene, which is believed to have anticancer properties.

Title: From Smoothie Girl to DAILY JUICER!
Review: My husband, children and I recently finished a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail . . . every step of its 2,189.2 miles. It was a magnificent journey! . . . but it took its toll on our health. We like to eat well. Oodles of fresh fruits and vegetables. At least one fresh smoothie every day. Until, that is, we spent nearly 6 months back-packing. Eating fresh foods regularly was unrealistic. The weight alone was impractical to carry. Space . . . perishability . . . bruising . . . crushing . . . attracting wild animals . . . all of these considerations made carrying fresh foods in a backpack either difficult or downright impossible. We ate fresh whenever we could: each time we hiked into towns . . . when kind and compassionate strangers offered us free meals or a part of their own picnic lunches . . . a salad here . . . an orange there. We were grateful for every juicy mouthful! One day I carried more than 10 pounds of fresh fruit (mostly grapes) in my arms as we hiked out of a small town and back into the woods. It was far too delicate to place in my crammed backpack—so I cradled it in my arms; we shared it amongst ourselves as we trudged along the trail. It. was. worth. every. delicious. ounce! (Even though my arms and shoulders ached from the experience). For most of those 2,000+ miles one thing persisted: a craving for pure, fresh juice. Up and down the mountains, through the rivers, over the rocks and boulders, I thought about juice. I longed for it. I finally told myself that when I finished the journey I would buy a juicer. This was a relatively new thought, because I was a smoothie girl. I knew nothing about juicing.We completed our thru-hike on a Friday. I spent most of the weekend in a hotel bed, resting my worn-out legs. When we returned home I realised that I could barely climb the carpeted steps in my house! My body was so depleted of the vitamins and minerals it needed for optimum health. I recognised that I not only desired a juicer . . . I needed one! But where to start?! The search was daunting, to say the least. There are so many options and conflicting opinions. I couldn’t just buy the first juicer I stumbled upon. I needed to do diligent research. In the process, I found Juice Guru. I ordered the book and it finally came! I was so inspired by the book that I began to prepare "juice kits" for the next few days (see attached photos). I measured, washed, and dried the ingredients for the juices I planned to drink in the next few mornings. Stored in glass bowls in the refrigerator, they were ready to quickly chop and juice as soon as I needed them. I CAN DO THIS! And so can YOU!Back to the book . . . here are some of its many strengths:*It is inspiring and encouraging! It showed me that daily juicing is really possible.*It includes a great deal of helpful background information.*The explanations (from juicers to juicing) are clear, well-organised, and easy to understand.*There are many practical tips, including a toolkit for success (how to set up your kitchen space, essential juicing accessories, staying on track, juicing on a budget, juicing away from home, etc.). These are tips that new juicers (like me) truly need.*There are multiple recommendations for using the pulp (several recipes and other suggestions). This is one of the key reasons I chose—and now recommend—this book. Rather than wasting the pulp, it is put to good use.*This book includes a wide variety of recipes.*There are recipes that are especially appealing to children.*It is easy to read and has a pleasant format, font, and text size.*I find it enjoyable to read—with a nice writing style and interesting (as well as inspiring) testimonials.*Every recipe page includes helpful tips. I appreciate that each recipe that includes cucumbers (for example) has the tips for selecting cucumbers on the same page.I would be remiss if I neglected to mention in this review how my sons (ages 10 - 14) responded to the book the moment it arrived in the mail. They were EXTREMELY excited! The colourful cover and full-cover photos immediately attracted their attention, and they eagerly perused the recipes. I gave them 3M flags to mark the recipes that they wanted to try first. To my delight, they chose recipes with both fruits AND vegetables. (Juicing for life, here we come!)At this point, I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you purchase the book. Especially if you are new to juicing.HAPPY DAILY JUICING!

Title: Best money this Boomer spent for a book that will transform your life with 1 glass of juice a day.
Review: An easy to read and understand book with solid information. I've read other books on juicing but none inspired me to want to juice. This book does! Sure surprised me. I don't want to spend my time with a lot of prep and mess to clean numerous times a day. 1 glass of juice in the a.m. before eating or drinking anything else, wait 20 min and your good to go. Ok I can handle this. I've decided to juice and do my Tai Chi after I feed my 2 cats (they have no patience when they want breakfast) before I do anything else in the a.m. and it is becoming a healthy habit. I'm an older boomer and new to juicing.I like fruit and vegs but have never eaten a lot of them. After reading Juice Guru I know it's never too late to start getting healthier. As a widow on a limited income I always thought it would be too expensive to buy a lot of fresh fruit and vegs but its not with 1 juice a day. I borrowed a juicer from a friend who wasn't using it and am budgeting for my own.The book has 3 parts, The 1st explains why juicing is so good for you and better than smoothies (they also like smoothies with great recipes for them) but you get more bang for your buck with juicing and they explain why which I found really interesting. The tips and tricks are short, sweet and informative. Part 2 tells you how to get started and do the 1 juice a day plan, staying on track and tools for success. Part 3 has some really interesting and easy recipes which use the pulp (haven't tried these yet). There are also numerous recipes for quick and easy juices including juices kids love.Buy the book and start on your road to a healthier and happier you. Another added bonus it keeps you regular and as we age this can be a problem for a lot of people.Thank you Steve and Julie for writing this book. It gave me the incentive I needed to make a healthy change in my life w/juicing.Sherry S

Title: Simple, Cheap, and So Rewarding
Review: This book is comprehensive, they've got it all, not just anecdotal or generalized advice and recipes but serious, detailed help to incorporate a large amount of fruits and vegetables into your daily diet. That's huge. I spent ten days at a nazi health retreat doing juices, wheat grass and raw food. Sure I "detoxed" lost fifteen pounds, learned how to sprout, grow wheat grass, learned about raw food, juicers, blenders, dehydrators. I got all sorts of books and DVDs on changing my diet with raw foods but, my god, it is so time consuming, which adds stress, which defeats the purpose because I gave up. And in all that research and trial testing to implement that, I never read about how to emotionally work my way into it like Steve and Julie have done in their $14 book. Dr. Cousens is a person I highly respect and have read his books, so I was impressed that he helped and reviewed this book, that impressed me. I've always thought there has got to be an easier way to eat more raw food without going totally raw or vegan but I never considered just do one juice a day first thing in the morning and don't change anything else. So I'm working my way into that, meanwhile I am super busy but over the last four days ( I started 5 days ago ) I've noticed a difference in my complexion. So overall, I think it's an important book, even though there are a billion juicing books out there, I think this one has a lot of worthwhile information beyond the recipes in an easily readable layout so you can grab the facts and move on or read deeper if you choose. The fact that the authors offer recipes for the pulp is truly brilliant.

Review: Cant wait to add to my ever growing knowledgeUpdate: So I have read the book and expanded on my ever growing knowledge would love them to write a follow on to this as it is really hard to get onto the Juice Gura Training Course, so that more infromation can be accessed.I have now read nearly all of Jason Vales books as well and have got to say he is awsome , but this gave me some of the science behind what I had already learnt. Definate value for money and knowledge
