Why did I get this book?
-------------------------------

If you read my previous review on Jason Vale's 7lb in 7 days you will already know that he went from being a lazy junk food addict (like most of us!) to a fitness guru.

He nicknamed himself the Juice Master. If you read any of his books you will soon understand why.

After doing his 7 day detox, I researched on Amazon which of his other books may be worth buying.

I decided to get this one after reading the very positive feedback on it.


What is the book about?
---------------------------------

Ignore the smug looking Jason on the front cover and get reading.

After the contents page and a short intro comes the recipes page.

I think what Jason Vale did with this book is very clever. The layout is incredibly attractive with colourful pages and bold text printed on high-quality thick paper.

There are recipes aimed at kids. For every recipe, Jason explains what each ingredient is good for.

You then have a part on a 3 day detox which I may try when I feel like it again.

And then comes my favourite part of the book: the juicy pharmacy! This is where I think Jason was very smart. As he says it himself he's not a doctor but he suggests some juice recipes for common ailments.

I was glad to find out he has a juice recipe against hangover, migraine, and cold (or anyway to help you feel better when you have a cold) to name a few.

He also has some beauty ones which will allegedly help you strengthen your nails or your hair, clear your skin, boost your memory, get rid or cellulite depending on the juice you'll decide to make.

Some of you may be dubious but since getting into juicing I personally love going back to this book for tips and one thing is sure I've never felt poorly after drinking any of the juices.
I often find I feel full of energy afterwards.

This book contains a vast amount of juice and smoothie recipes. Over 100!
So if you're not too keen on the idea of having juice, I suggest you try the smoothies. They're very yummy!

I have only tried about a dozen juices and smoothies but am determined to work my way through most of them.

This book is original, colourful, straight to the point and simply informative.

It may be worth mentioning that there is even a sexy juice section including a natural viagra recipe!

At the end of the book you will find a very useful chart with fruit and veg (with photos) and what they are good for.

I do believe the more you learn about each ingredient's role the more you will be motivated to get juicing.

This is what motivates me anyway.

Would I recommend it?
----------------------------

Absolutely, for the reasons mentioned above.


Where can I buy it?
-------------------------

This book is currently available on Amazon at £8.29, which is well-worth it in my opinion.

RRP: £12.99

ISBN: 978-0-00-722517-0

Summary: Let the Juice Master teach you a thing or two about juicing.
