Product Description

Jamba, from the African word "jama," meaning to celebrate, is the philosophy of Jamba Juice, a nationally known chain of smoothie and juice stores. Reasons to celebrate include good health, happiness, and of course, delicious, nutritious, all-natural energizing smoothies.

In Jamba Juice Power Jamba Juice founder Kirk Perron shares dozens of his easy-to-prepare smoothie recipes (a blender is the only equipment required), his nutrition advice (developed with a team of scientists and physicians), and his twenty-one-day lifestyle-changing plan with daily tips for mind, body, and spirit and a relevant smoothie recipe. Jamba Juice Power is filled with Jambaisms-"Do unto your body as you would have it do unto you" (Jambaism #3), health fast-fact sidebars, illustrations, and testimonials, all delivered with the hip, irreverent attitude that has made Jamba Juice a phenomenon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different than I was expecting - but a wonderful book!, January 22, 2005

By	Katie C. Nelson "Katie the Scrapbook Lady" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I honestly picked this one up because I just wanted some good smoothie recipes. I wasn't expecting to get a comprehensive 21 day life changing health plan or a brief history of Jamba Juice. I might not have bought it if I had known that was what more than half the book contained.

Good thing I didn't know that because I think the book was well worth the price. There are great recipes in it like I was hoping. Also, the lifestyle advice and the 21 day plan are all very practical and doable and simply focus on getting more produce & fiber in your life and exercising more. Much more sound "diet" advice than everything else out there right now.

A good read and a fun recipe book that is motivating!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book I've read in a long time. A must for all., March 26, 2004

By	Kirsten H. Kennedy (cambridg, mn United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Jamba Juice Power is a must read. I am forty years old and the last program I tried was Dr. Phil's, to no avail. This book changed everything. I learned that well being is not just physical but emotional and spiritual also. The recipes were realistic and my family loved them. The authors touched on many great tips that perhaps we all know are correct, just hard to put into practice. This was also made easy to digest by a 21 day program that was easy to follow. (Not a bunch of prepacked food to buy, meetings to attend and money to spend). After I write this review I plan to write the publisher and give a thank you for a book that every person should read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed even after reading other reviews, February 22, 2005

By	M. Parsons (Olympia, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had read earlier reviews about the book being more of a "life style" book than a recipe book (there really are only about 40 smoothie recipes), but my biggest disappointment was that ALL of the recipes include either sherbet or frozen yogurt. For me a real smoothie is all fruit.
