Book Description
In search of the perfect human diet, Victoria Boutenko compares the standard American diet with the diet of wild chimpanzees. Chimpanzees share an estimated 99.4% of genes with humans, but their diet is dramatically different from ours. The most glaring difference is that chimpanzees consume significantly more green leaves than humans. Victoria developed a series of greens smoothies that enable anyone to consume the necessary amount of greens in a very palatable way.
Green for Life Review
In this book, Victoria Boutenko explains why eating raw greens is so important. Although nutritional recommendations often seem to shift with the winds, one consistent and clear piece of advice has always been to eat lots of those leafy green vegetables — filled with phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc. The big problem, of course, is that these foods are often not too palatable unless smothered in fat-laden, salty, or otherwise dubious dressings. What if there were a way to eat your greens and actually enjoy the experience? That is what this book offers. I have followed the recipes and enjoyed almost all of them (there was one clinker), and I have enjoyed real health benefits from eating my greens. It’s clear from the study that she describes (with detailed information about the experiences of the study participants) that I’m not alone in finding great benefit from her green smoothies. I recommend this book to everyone. It is truly a book that will help everyone who follows its advice.
My boyfriend and I have slowly been making our way towards foods that are alive, but we were struggling. And then I found Victoria’s book. Reading chapter after chapter I found myself wanting to give these green smoothies a try. So, we finally bought the VitaMix blender, and away we went! Now, after food cravings have diminshed, toe nail fungus’ vanished, and acne is a past memory…we are HAPPY, calmer and loving our daily green smoothies. Thank you so much, Victoria! You’ve had a dramatic impact on our family! I would recommend this book to everyone…and I do!
I just received this book yesterday and spent a considerable amount of time last night browsing through it. The book is EXCELLENT….very informative and well written. It made me realise just how much I have been missing out on this much-needed part of the diet that is so necessary…and how easy it is to eat this way. I have been juicing a lot of greens but haven’t tried “green smoothies” before. I made my first one last night and was HOOKED…really really good stuff…now I know why others are so addicted. And the fantastic thing is that it is so SO good for you!! Green smoothies really make it easy to consume lots of greens…and quickly too! Juicing greens is a nightmare because you have to spend so much time and use soooooo much green veggies to get such a little bit of juice….doing it this way, the “green smoothie” method, makes all the difference in the world…and you get ALL the goodness. I learned a lot about other things too that I hadn’t known about before….the importance of hydrochloric acid in the stomach for example. Get this book!! It is a valuable & necessary addition to your health foods library!
I used to do a lot of juicing in the past but it is very time consuming and really messy. My problem is over since I got Green for Life. Making smoothies is a great alternative to juicing. It is much faster, less messy, and you also get some fiber in addition to juice. In addition to great recipes for making smoothies the book is also a good source of information about proper nutrition, the importance of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and much more. Get this book!! Another great volume that you may not miss is Can We Live 150. These two books together make a perfect gift of showing the way to healthy living just for anyone.
