I'm giving this 4 stars for the author's independent spirit in researching greens and in seeking ways to heal her family's illnesses when the doctors failed them. The book is inspirational in that way (and the recipes seem good, haven't tried them yet). I've been about 50% raw for a while now. I sometimes think 100% raw is the way to go but some things I've read hold me back, and this is why I'm "conflicted." For example, if you look at the nutritional content of raw and cooked collard greens, you have to wonder if maybe it's better to lightly cook the greens before making a smoothie out of them:
The protein in one cup of cooked collards is 4 grams while the raw provides 1 gram.
Fiber in cooked collards lists 5 grams and only 1 gram for raw.
Vitamin C is higher in cooked collards with 34.6 mg over the raw with 12.7 mg.
The vitamin A content of cooked collards is 5945 I.U. and raw contains 1377 I.U.
Cooked collards are higher in the B vitamins than the raw.
Folic acid content for that same one cup of cooked collards provides 177 mcg, while the raw offers 59.8.
Calcium jumps well ahead in cooked collards with 226 mg over the raw that contains only 52.2 mg.
While the cooked greens have .87 mg of iron in one cup, the raw provides only 0.07 mg.
Cooked collards burst ahead of raw with 494 mg of potassium over the raw that contains 81 mg.
Even the trace mineral zinc comes out ahead in the cooked with 0.8 mg over the raw with less than 0.1 mg.
[...]
So, while I'm not saying that green smoothies aren't a good idea (I'm going to start drinking one a day), I do believe that maybe we should also be eating cooked greens with oil and lemon. Maybe 50-50 is the way to go, after all. Also, I read somewhere that the fat in olive oil makes some of the nutrients in greens more bio-available to us. The vinegar that we use in fresh green salads neutralizes the toxicity in some greens, too. So these more traditional ways of eating greens can be good for us.

This book changed my life for the better and was part of the inspiration for writing the book "How Green Smoohties Saved My Life". I give Victoria credit in my book for bringing me to green smoothies. They are one of the best things that has ever happened to me and I am forever grateful that Victoria wrote this ground breaking book.

This book is great! I bought it after a coworker reccommended it. It's helped me so much that my parents, grandmother, uncle make green smoothies and they pass it along to their friends. I have had ezcema (or so all my dermatologists and allergists have said) for over 9 years. I've tried multiple creams, steroid creams and other junk and it has not helped. After reading Green For Life I started making green smoothies. It's been a year and I no longer have ezcema. I'll make green smoothies about once a month ( I'm lazy about making them). If I go too long without a green smoothie i start itching again. They actually taste good and are good for a "snack" during the day. I haven't actually followed any of Victoria's recipes. My favorite is a few handfulls of spinach, two apples and some cinnamon and a bit of water. It tastes just like cinnamon apples. This is a good book and green smoothies are an excellent way to incorporate more fresh greens and fruits into your diet.

I purchased Green for Life when it was first published. The smoothies have made such a difference for me and so many others. However, what I enjoyed the most is the presentation of the information!!! I have purchased other books about raw foods and cannot get through them. From my point of view, Victoria writes from her heart and that comes across in the read. I was equally impressed with her second book, Green Smoothie Revolution. Thanks for taking the time to document your Passion!!!
