Google+0Twitter0Facebook0N is a natural for nature. The word “natural” always makes me think of health and today, I am thrilled to introduce you to my friend and best-selling author, Farnoosh Brock’s second gorgeous book “The Healthy Smoothie Bible: Lose Weight, Detoxify, Fight Disease, and Live Long“.
I absolutely enjoyed and reviewed Farnoosh’s first book “The Healthy Juicer’s Bible” a few months ago and soon after, when she mentioned working on another book, I thought, wow! Now, she’s the sort who is blessed with focus and in turn, I am fortunate to have received an advance review digital copy of her second book, The Healthy Smoothie Bible where she talks about easy-to-make healthy delicious smoothies made from all-natural ingredients.

No shopping at fancy health food stores, no going organic. In fact, just healthy living with your normal every day shopping on a decent budget. That’s the USP of this book.
Whether you are a smoothie-newbie or a smoothie-pro, you’ll fall in love with this book. You can choose to read the book from page one, or just skip over to the recipe index and then come back to the valuable information via the step by step guide on the preparation and set up process.
The Healthy Smoothie Bible is an excellent reference that inspires you to create variety to keep you hooked to your smoothie habit.

The book begins with a good dose of inspiration where Farnoosh shares her personal journey from not being happy with her body image to choosing a healthy and natural lifestyle without going on fad diets. She explains how she switched to green juicing and then to green smoothies. The point to note is, besides green juicing and green smoothies, she also enjoys solid food.
The Healthy Smoothie Bible is full of practical information for anyone interested in getting started on smoothies. It has 108 delicious recipies with tips to create your own.

In short, The Healthy Smoothie Bible is just what the name suggests.
Filled with delightfully attractive photos that made me drool, the book is a great inspiration to heal your body and get on the path to healthy living.
What I like about the book is this: just about anyone can start the smoothie habit without stressing over counting calories or finding fancy ingredients. If you have access to a grocery store, veggies, fruits and greens and a blender, you are all set.
The main reason this book appeals to me: Farnoosh practices what she preaches. Her updates are there to see for anyone who follows her on Facebook where she keeps her community engaged. Also, as a diabetic, smoothies make a great in-between meals snack for me, especially now, when the weather is warm enough to melt us.

If you believe that health is wealth, The Healthy Smoothie Bible makes for a great guide. That we must eat healthy including fiber and raw foods in our diet is something we all know – and smoothies can fit into just about any kind of diet and lifestyle. Who wouldn’t want a tasty way to lose weight and stay healthy?
Farnoosh recommends adopting smoothies as a lifestyle and a habit where you crave for the healthy stuff. And she shows you how to stay motivated when your enthusiasm starts to wear off. What can be better than that?
