They're creamy, fruity, delicious, quick and easy to make, and, most important-they're good for you!

With easy charts that analyze calorie, fat, protein, and vitamin content, this guide will give you tips on choosing fruits and veggies, preparation, cleanup, storage, and more. Now you and your family can drink all the nutrients you need-and enjoy! I use a lot of fresh juices in my smoothie recipes. You may think that's just because I'm known as the Juice Lady, but my love of fresh vegetable and fruit juices goes back many years before the Juice Lady was born. I turned my health around from continual illness and fatigue to the vibrant health I enjoy today because I changed my diet and started drinking an abundance of fresh vegetable juices flavored with a little low-sugar fruit juice. Though all of the recipes in this book can be made in a blender, I recommend using a juicer as well. If you don't own a juicer, I highly recommend that you invest in one.

It's important to distinguish between a blender and a juicer. You will use a blender for making smoothies. It liquefies or purees everything placed in it and does not separate pulp from juice. A juice machine, on the other hand, separates liquid from pulp. If you think you really don't need a juicer and that it might be a good idea to have carrot, celery, or beet pulp in your juice for extra fiber (some manufacturers tell you that you should), I can tell you from experience that those residues taste like juicy sawdust. For the best texture and flavor, I recommend you use a juicer. Look for these features: Choose a machine with adequate horsepower (hp). I recommend one with 0.5 hp.
