Smooth and creamy, or fresh and invigorating, or hearty and clean: there's a drink for every mood here, and I find myself using this book almost daily.

Uncomplicated but good suggestions for juices and smoothies. There are a couple of coffee/chocolate type drinks as well, and one alcoholic drink: a Bloody Mary. He will also help you find the right ripeness for juicing as opposed to for eating, from "obscenely ripe" for a mango to "quite a way from perfect ripeness" for a pear.

You will need a juicer and/or a blender for most of the recipes - it actually made me buy a secondhand juicer. It numbers the recipes instead of the pages. Some of the recipes are essentially doubles.
