- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2015Juice that cleanses, cures and keeps you happy! This book is everything you need to kick start something great for you're health. It's perfect resource for the novice or experience alike.
There is a wealth of information about the benefits of plant based foods. I especially appreciate the section on "health benefits of vegetables and fruit by name." I've learned things in never knew before about the specific benefits of say, cabbage (cholesterol lowering), cranberries (great for promoting oral health), daikon (for great digestion) and pineapple (contains bromelain - anti-inflammatory and digestive enzyme).
The recipes, each provide a nice intro with specific health benefits. An enormous section of juices and smoothies to appeal to anyone, including special sections for kids. A great section telling you how to make your own healthy nuts milks and again the health benefits of different ingredients.
So far I've made:
Almond milk- good standby
Cashew milk- which I learned is helps our bodies produce serotonin (welcome sound sleep). Delicious!
Hemp seed delight shake- super packed with nutrition and delicious ( this kept me going all morning)
Good morning water- delicious infused water I've been making regularly!
These more info for doing cleanses, treating specific health conditions, making your own probiotic drinks like kombucha and recipes using pulp from your juices to make breads, crackers, even doggie treats. I got the kindle version but will consider purchasing the book as well. It's a great companion and resource for your health!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2020I’m new to juicing and this book was just what I needed for nutritional and health information with some great juicing recipes. The beautiful photos are well done and inspirational to my juicing regimen. This book will be well used. I’m very happy with this purchase.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2015I love to juice. I have been juicing off and on since the early eighties and own quite a collection of juicing books. Since our old juicer gave up the ghost we bought a new juicer and we also bought a new juicing book just to see if there is anything new under the sun. One tends to use the same recipes over and over and I was in need of a little inspiration. My family and I have now tried a majority of the recipes in this beautiful book. Not only are the pictures stunning and ever so inspiring, the recipes are absolutely delicious and well balanced. There are no crazy ingredients and complicated formulas yet there is a sophistication to the recipes that makes this book truly outstanding. Modern Juicing has become my favorite juicing book. Highly recommended!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2016This was very informative and laid the basic groundwork of getting started with juicing. Gives plenty of options to maintain.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2024Really enjoy the "Hold On" around Page 100ish.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2023Easy recipes to follow and the health benefits are enormous. Helped with both my blood pressure and loosing weight.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2024Excellent book!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2020The first 75 pages are strictly about health benefits of juicing, certain foods and how to pick a juicer. This information was not new and wasted space. The juice recopies in this book, are very basic and obvious, very few ingredients. Several of the recipes are very similar. You do NOT need this book to make these very basic blends. I was expecting some creative juice recipes with interesting unexpected ingredients that increase the health benefits.
There are some pretty smoothie and juice blend photos spread throughout the book which are pleasing to look at. However, not as many as I expected.

5.0 out of 5 stars I decided to get a new book with more recipes to enjoy. I love
I just bought my second juicer and, although I am not new to juicing, I decided to get a new book with more recipes to enjoy.
I love, love LOVE this book. This is probably the 5th or 6th juicing book I've had but by far it is the best.
So far almost every recipe I've tried has been wonderful. My favourite so far is Jonas's Juice - apple, pear, mint, lemon, romaine, cucumber, etc... Delish!
There is a section that identifies which juices are best for which ailment. I definitely had immediate improvement to digestive upset after making and consuming a juice that had fennel, ginger and I can't remember what else. There also is a glossary where you can look up the medicinal benefits of specific fruits and veggies. And there is a section on juices that are great to use to introduce kids to juicing. And a whole section on nut milks and smoothies. I have yet to try those but will soon, have ordered a coco-jack to make it easier to open up young coconuts (which I love) and there are numerous smoothie recipes that include young coconuts, as well as recipes to make your own coconut milk from them.
I can not recommend this book highly enough. Utterly fantastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ausführliche Rezepte incl. Erläuterungen der jeweiligen Health-Benefits
Ich liebe dieses Buch! Es ist meiner Meinung nach eines der besten Bücher zum Thema selbstgemachte Smoothies und Säfte.
Hätte ich von diesem Buch vorher schon gewusst, hätte ich mir die anderen Bücher sparen können :-( ernsthaft. Mimi Kirk deckt so ziemlich fast alles ab was man entsaften oder in einen Smoothie verwandeln kann - incl. Hintergrundinfo zur Wirkung usw.
Das Buch enthält eine Vielzahl an Rezepten und auch Tips, wie man auf diese Art und Weise seinen Kindern unbeliebtes aber gesundes Gemüse unterjubeln kann ohne, dass diese es geschmacklich merken.
Bin zwar kein Kind, aber ich hasse Brokkoli! In einem Green Smoothie zusammen mit ein paar anderen schmackhaften gesunden Früchten schmecke ich ihn gar nicht mehr raus. So komme ich in den Genuss der gesundheitlichen Vorzüge des Brokkoli, ohne unter den verhassten Geschmack leiden zu müssen. Und das auch noch als Rohkost wo alle Vitamine erhalten bleiben!
Mich hat vor allem die Erläuterung interessiert, welcher Saft oder Smoothie Rezept für welche gesundheitlichen Aspekte gut ist.
Da gibt es was für die Haut, für das Entgiften/Detoxing, Krebsvorbeugung/-Bekämpfung, für Cholesterin Probleme, Nerven, Augen, Blutdruck und vieles mehr.
Die aller meisten Zutaten kann man so gut wie alle im REWE, EDEKA und auf dem Samstags-Bauern/Gemüsemarkt bekommen. Die exotischeren Zutaten z.B. wie Kokosnusswasser bekommt man teilweise auch in größeren Supermärkten oder in den größeren Drogerieketten welche ihre eigenen Bio-Marken haben. Wer einen Garten hat wo man sein eigenes Gemüse und seine eigenen Kräuter anbauen kann, ist auch hier im Vorteil. Und alles andere was man so nirgendwo kriegen kann - Online Bio-Läden oder Amazon ;-)
Hinweis für Einsteiger/Neulinge:
Wenn man viel in dieser Richtung machen möchte, kommt man früher oder später nicht drum herum sich die entsprechenden Geräte anschaffen zu müssen um schmackhafte Smoothies und Säfte herzustellen. Leider sind die guten Geräte die wirklich was taugen und auch lange halten sollen auch nicht ganz billig. Man bewegt sich hier im Bereich von 300 - 700 Euro. Daher sollte man sich wirklich viel Zeit lassen und gut recherchieren, welchen Mixer und Juicer man haben will.
Ist der Mixer nicht stark genug, hat man eher einen Bröckeli als einen Smoothie ;-) Das kann man mal eine Weile so machen um zu schauen ob's einem generell taugt. Aber irgendwann mal... mir hat es nach ca. 5 Monaten gereicht und ich wollte ein richtigen Mixer mit Power haben.
Bei einem Juicer/Entsafter sollte man vor allem darauf achten, dass dieser auch dazu geeignet ist Blättriges Zeugs wie Kräuter, Salate, Gemüse wie Spinat/Mangold/Kohl usw. zu entsaften.
Das können nämlich nicht alle Juicer wie ich feststellen musste, auch nicht die teuren Luxusmodelle... Bin hier selber noch auf der Suche, weil mein alter Entsafter für 70 Euro langsam schlapp macht... Gemüse wie Ingwer und Möhren setzt ihm schon langsam zu.
