Helen J Simpson, The Juicy Smoothie Health Bar

Public and scientific interest in personal health - specifically superfoods and smoothies - is rocketing. We're all more conscious of the destructive effects of processed foods, the expensive cost of our illnesses on the health system and the environmental impact on the world. Many of us already suffer from chronic health conditions and many more are keen to ensure we keep them at bay for as long as possible. The Juicy Smoothie Health Bar gives us a toolbox to defend ourselves against ill health; teaching us to use smoothies to nurture, regenerate and repair our bodies. Divided into 3 sections: smoothies to greatly improve health, smoothies to help you lose extra weight, and smoothies to help combat specific conditions - the book draws on the latest scientific evidence into antioxidants, flavonoids and polyphenols to provide a comprehensive range of recipes, all taste-tested for deliciousness.
