Supercharge Your Immune System: 100 Ways to Help Your Body Fight Illness - One Glass at a Time [Hardcover]

Ellen Brown (Author), Karen Konopelski (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2008

It's now an accepted medical fact that the nutrients in certain fruits and vegetables make them "super foods" because they are the highest in the vitamins and other nutrients that naturally build our immune systems. Smoothies --frosty, thick, luscious drinks--are a way that all members of the family can gleefully boost their nutrition and maintain strong immune systems, and Supercharge Your Immune System is a book that allows them to do so deliciously.

One hundred recipes for special smoothies include a delicious assortment of food and flavors, take minutes to prepare, and are packed with the vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals that fight autoimmune disorders. Most importantly, they taste great-because readers won't benefit from what they don't drink.

Includes recipes that are delicious and kid-friendly.

This review is from: Supercharge Your Immune System: 100 Ways to Help Your Body Fight Illness - One Glass at a Time (Hardcover)

This book is out dated with the use of tofu, whey protien, soy milk and yogurt. Most of these food stuffs are mucus forming and processed or are GMO's. Be careful with food combining also. Protiens and fruit is not a good combination unless if you use all raw or live food. Before buying this book I would do your own research on food combining if you are really into staying well.

This review is from: Supercharge Your Immune System: 100 Ways to Help Your Body Fight Illness - One Glass at a Time (Hardcover)

this is a pretty tasty book of smoothies. the chapters talk about how nutrients keep you healthy, organic food, smoothie basics and recipes. the recipes are simple, delish and include every kind of fruit and vegetable imaginable. whey protein powder is used in many of the recipes. my only complaint is these smoothies are high in calories. majority of the recipes range from 175 to over 500 calories for one glass. of course these are so good, you'll want a couple glass fulls. if calories are not that important, these refreshing recipes will do the trick.
