Description : Boosting your health is easier than you think -- everything that's good for you can be made more delicious with a smoothie. America is facing a health crisis -- and it's not the one making the headlines. Over the past decade, there's been a sharp rise in the number of people developing chronic health conditions, including Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. But the shocking truth is that it could have been stopped. The CDC estimates that lifestyle changes can stave off over 80% of all heart disease, stroke, and Type 2 diabetes cases. And that's where a plant-based diet comes in. With stars as diverse as Lizzo, Joaquin Phoenix, and Miley Cyrus hopping on the vegan bandwagon, it's clear that this is more than a celebrity craze: this is a trend that's here to stay, and for good reason. In fact, the areas of the world with the highest life expectancies (the so-called 'blue zones') follow a largely plant-based diet. The arguments are compelling, but many people are put off by the thought of learning a whole new way of cooking and navigating complex recipes and unfamiliar ingredients. Are you one of them? You're not alone -- a survey showed that 80% of respondents said they thought transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle would be too complicated to even attempt. But there's one powerful weapon that can help you in your quest to become healthier: a blender. A blender is your answer to taking the hassle out of plant-based living. With a comprehensive guide to smoothies for every health goal, you can drastically increase your intake of the world's most healthy ingredients. Whether your goal is weight loss, whole-body cleansing, or boosted energy and immune function, a smoothie is a nutritional powerhouse -- and you can tailor it precisely to your needs. In The Plant Based Vegan Juicing and Smoothie Diet Cookbook, you'll find out how to do just that. You'll discover: 200 astonishingly simple smoothie and juice recipes organized by health outcome A complete nutritional profile (and that all-important calorie count) for every recipe -- plus eye-catching images so you can see exactly what your glass should look like An easy-to-navigate index of ingredients (so you can search for smoothies based on what's already in your fridge) The #1 moment of the day to have a smoothie for maximum health benefits Exactly how to ensure you're getting the most out of your ingredients A comprehensive guide to every kitchen utensil you're going to need (don't panic -- most of them are already in your kitchen) A complete guide to the best vegan protein powders -- so you can make sure every smoothie delivers a powerful punch Kid-friendly smoothies (get that goodness into your little ones by stealth!)

It works with your body, helping you to burn fat and weight without counting all the calories and while still being able to go on a diet that works around your schedule. The idea behind this diet plan is that you will pick two days during the week where you will keep your calories low, usually under 500 to 700 for the whole day. As long as these days are not back to back, they can be any day that you would like. Pick a few days during the week when you are usually really busy and it won't seem so bad. For the other five days of the week, you will be able to eat regular calories. You should be careful about not going overboard, but if you eat a relatively healthy diet, even if you splurge a little bit on these other five days, you will still end up taking fewer calories thanks to those two fast days. It is that simple! You want to lose weight, but if you feel deprived all the time, you will give in to the cravings and never see the results that you want. This is where this guidebook can come in!...

Description : Smoothies can be very nutritious and they taste delicious but not all smoothies are low in calories or easy to integrate into a wealth loss program. Because "rabbit food" fatigue can sabotage your diet, chef Daisy Williams collected the 50 best recipes for smoothies that are lean, "clean" low-calorie, and very satisfying to create this low-calorie smoothie recipe book. Daisy knows that if you don't like it, you won't drink it, so she selected recipes that are as great tasting as they are nutritious. Starting with the basics, Daisy explains why smoothies are an important part of a healthy diet and then teaches readers how to create the perfect smoothie. Of course, the recipes are the main feature of this book and there's plenty of variety here. If you love kelp, spinach, and other veggies you will swear you've died and gone to veggie heaven but there's also plenty of temping recipes for picky eaters who shun vegetables. Many of the smoothies taste like refreshing juice drinks while others taste as thick and creamy as a fattening milkshake. Doesn't a raspberry banana smoothie made with raspberries, banana, and almonds sound dreamy? Veggie haters won't even taste the cup of spinach that's blended in--but it's in there, keeping them healthy and trim. For high-protein diet fans, there are 10 protein-packed recipes with delectable names like Figgy Green Monster Smoothie. Plus, there's a must-have chapter containing 10 green low-calorie lunch recipes for dieters seeking a quick and easy, nutritious lunch. Problem solved! With 50 low-calorie recipes to choose from, you can enjoy a different smoothie recipe every single day of the month, with 20 recipes to spare....
