Product 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.

 LOVE GREEN SMOOTHIES! December 28, 2008
One of the few books I promote in my wellness workshops and personally practice on a regular routine! Have lots of my customers doing the GREEEN SMOOTHIES! This book has lots of great info and very innovative!! Just a word of caution: stick to more of the veggie based ones than the fruit based!!

Great help to anyone regardless of their diet December 22, 2008
I got this book in Russian, so my mom would be able to read it. I like how Victoria emphasizes that drinking green smoothies will have a significant impact on people's health regardless of their diet.
I have read a good number of books about nutrition and still was able to find a great deal of new information.
And for those who expect to find more recipes: use your imagination and whatever you have in the fridge. Unlike for other dishes, it is not essetial to have a precise set of ingridients for green smoothies. Just throw in a bouquet of any greens (the darker the green, the better), a few fruits, and some water and you will get yourself an ultimate health drink!
Green for Life November 17, 2008
Really informative. Great research for raw foodists or not. Well written and easy to read. You will know why and how to eat more greens forever.
Excellent way to get healthy! November 9, 2008
If you want to eat more fruits and vegetables...especially vegetables/leafy greens then this is the book for you. Easy to read, straight forward and loving. You must want to change and once you begin you will be amazed at how much energy you get. Also there may be some detoxing Read and find out...as least be informed..I admit this is cutting edge material not everyone will be willing but that is all it takes is to be willing. The author is so loving and she did her homework so the data and research is there. Take a look.
 Not too many good recipes November 9, 2008

I'm a huge fan of Victoria but I was a bit let down with this book. I haven't really found a book with a lot of good smoothie recipes and this is not it. It explains the philosophy behind them and you quickly learn as long as you have a green lettuce, any type of fruit(s) and a sweetener if need be plus any optional items such as protein or psyllium powder, its really all about experimenting. If you want the philosophy, buy the book. If not; spend you cash on ingredients and look up recipes online.
