Editorial Reviews

01/06/2014
Whether or not Eric Helms's, the founder of the chain Juice Generation, claim that "for too long, a daily juicing habit has seemed out of reach—a complicated luxury that only devout yogis and the charmed elite manage to pull off" is true, this attractive collection of over 100 healthy libations aims to bring juicing to the masses. Juicing is a relatively simple concept: add a handful of healthy ingredients, hit "blend" and you're done, and that's the fundamental issue with the book. Virtually all of his recipes for over 100 juice blends and smoothies can be summed up in just a few sentences. Once the ingredients for the "Citrus Super C" (pineapple, grapefruit, oranges, and mint), "Collard Cooler" (collards, green apple, cucumber, celery, lemon and lime) or "Island Blue" (the water and meat of a coconut blended with an ounce of blue green algae) are relayed to the reader, there isn't all that much else to say. Helms and coauthor Greevan attempt to circumvent this with lots of photos, lengthy examinations of pressed versus cold-pressed juice, digressions on key ingredients like kale, hemp seeds, and Himalayan sea salt, and celebrity endorsements from the likes of Edward Norton and Katie Couric. It's a perfectly acceptable, but enthusiasts will likely find themselves skimming from combination to combination rather than reading it cover to cover. Color photos. (Jan.)

Publishers Weekly

I feel like I'm being rewarded with every sip, especially with the green juices, and watching my children drink all those greens is the greatest feeling, knowing they are consuming all the right nutrients.

Naomi Watts

“Juicing is definitely a part of my regular diet. Having fresh juices is mandatory for me, because it makes it easy to get all your veggies down.

Kristen Bell

I am ruled by my juicer. Anything green that's not nailed down ends up being juiced. If my wife is right and you are what you eat; I'd rather be lean and green than hot and beefy.

Jason Bateman

“Making healthy food choices and preparing them takes a great deal of time, often time that I don’t have. Juicing takes the work out of the equation. I can’t think of anything that makes me feel as good and is as easy to do.

Michelle Williams

The Juice Generation is driven by the mission of making juicing and blending accessible, exciting, and even more importantly, a long-term, happy green habit.

Salma Hayek

Juicing helps feed my soul and feed my cells and the carrots help me read the fine print.

Katie Couric

Juice cleanses are the perfect way to get back on track after you've had a weekend full of consecutive pig-out sessions. They're also just an easy, great way to do something healthy for your body.

Gayle King

Juicing was the beginning of a deeper understanding of nutrition. I’m pushing myself to go as green as I can with juicing and keep the fruits to a more modest percentage. I feel better and it keeps my energy more even.

Edward Norton

I started a personal juicing program, which has had a profound effect on maintaining high energy levels, clear skin and fast-growing, healthy hair.

Martha Stewart

I come from a Southern family, so my taste leans more towards butter and sugar than veggies. A few years ago, I had a juice that changed it all for me—a mix that’s better than any po’ boy you’ll ever eat. The vegetables in their purest form are refreshing and palate cleansing.
