I've never written a review for Amazon, so when I clicked on 5 stars and "I love it!" was the phrase, I thought PERFECT! This is an amazing book filled with delicious recipes, beautiful pictures for each elixir, and a wealth of background information to guide you on your journey to better health. Jessica Weston has spent years studying nutrition and food as medicine both at home and abroad. Reaching into this vast repertoire of knowledge and experiences, she has compiled the most outrageously delicious, but healthy tonics and juices for all of us to feast upon.
So far my personal favorite is the "Golden Goddess" mango smoothie. I have arthritis, so I already had tried turmeric paste and coconut milk in some another recipe, but while healthy, they didn't engage my palate. It was a medicinal drink. Ugh! But Jessica's smoothie is fit for a goddess. It is as advertised: "yummy and full of anti-inflammatories at the same. . . . and easy to make once. Yes! My new "go to" health drink.
Some of the recipes call for ingredients that I'm not familiar with. . . . I haven't explored the Mayan jungles yet. . . but Jessica Weston not only tells you about all the special herbs and spices, but which vendors sell these timeless remedies as well. Her glossary, sourcing and equipment sections at the back of the book provide invaluable information for beginning your journey to better health.
I have not gotten into cleanses yet, but for those of you who do, there is a whole section on nourishing and raw cleanses: again with spectacular pictures to go along with each delectable recipe. Whether or not I do all that's suggested with a cleanse, I know I'll be trying the Chocolate Avocado Mousse and Baked Paleo Lasagna somewhere along my journey through this truly inspired book.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Jessica Weston, and know that she passionately believes in everything she's written in this book. She lives this healthy lifestyle every day. She radiates positive energy and healing into everything she does. This book is no exception. If you are even remotely interested in becoming more healthy mentally and physically, you need to give Healing Tonics, Juices, and Smoothies a try.
