Crazy Sexy Juice: 100+ Simple Juice, SmoothieNut Milk Recipes to Supercharge Your Health by Kris Carr
3.0
9-15-15
Overall Crazy Sexy Juice is a beautiful book with gorgeous photos and a nice layout. However, the juices and smoothies themselves are not terribly new if you have been around the vegan or healthy food community for very long. The juices especially are quite common, though there were a few gems in there (such as Crimson Dawn). Unfortunately Carr relies heavily on cucumber as a base in her juices, which I personally cannot drink. This is easily remedied but I do wish she had more variety in bases.
The smoothies, again, are common combinations found in the health food and vegan community, though Carr's measurements are her own at times. My favorites were the Body Builder, For the Love of Nog, Strawberry Fields and Chocolate Avocado.
Disclosure: ARC received from Netgalley & publisher in exchange for an honest review. (They may regret this.) Any and all quotes were taken from an advanced edition subject to change in the final edition.
