101 Juice Recipes

I love Joe Cross. Juicing changed my life. I lost 36 pounds in 3 months. I juiced everyday, but did eat, salads, veggies, and healthy organic foods. This juice book and Joe Cross's documentary had really changed my life. I am 49 years old. I went to the doctor in October 2015 I had all my blood work completed. I was Pre-diabetic, low potassium, low calcium, had no energy, couldn't focus, had overall malaise. The summer of 2015 was miserable, I hated going anywhere and even though I tried to diet and eat healthy, my body would not give a pound. It was like my metabolism just plopped on the couch and refused to budge. I was so depressed and tired. Then I watched the documentary with Joe Cross, Fat,Sick, and nearly dead while I was sitting on the couch with my slow metabolism lol. The next week. I bought the juicer the next month off Amazon, bought my veggies and tried out a few creations on my own. Gross! One I called War Water because it was khaki green. LOL. So I looked to Joe and I bought this book and started following the recipes and WOW, they actually tasted great and not one was khaki green. :) Now I'm just living and juicing. I still juice at least one of my meals three times a week and follow a Vegetarian and mostly organic diet. I still have more weight to go, so I'll probably pick up my pace a little. The thing is these recipes are delicious, filling and so good for you! The energy from juicing is unreal and went from nearly falling asleep at my boring job, to taking ownership of it and getting noticed for it, actually got a raise! Now I'm saying that juicing and Joe is going to lead to a raise, but when you are awake and feeling amazing, I think it attracts all the right stuff into your life.

I have been researching juice fasting and different recipes on Pinterest for the past week, and stumbled across this recipe booklet. I debated ordering this because let’s face it, there are a ton of recipes you can find online. However, I found myself getting a bit overwhelmed and decided to order it. I’m actually really glad I did. The recipes are organized by color (eat/drink the rainbow, right?), so I just went through them all, picked a colorful variety of juices, and easily made my menu and shopping list for the week. This booklet is no frills (which I like), however I do want to point out two features that Joe included which are awesome. First, each recipe lists what conditions/ailments the juice is beneficial for. Second, there’s a substitution list for all the fruits/veggies in the book which is great in case a fruit listed is out of season or I run out of something mid-week. All in all, I’m happy I purchased this recipe book and recommend it to others who may also feel overloaded with all the juicing info out there. I feel a lot more prepared to start my journey and look forward to feeling better!

I began juicing after seeing the "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" movie on Netflix. I have a family history of Cancer, Diabetes, Obesity and Heart Problems and recently had a health scare where all signs pointed to serious lung and heart Issues. Thank God, there isn't anything wrong that still can't be fixed, but it proved quite frighteningly that it was time to get off my victim-oriented butt and do something to change where my life was heading. I cannot describe the change that took place in my body and spirit after I began juicing. The first day, I was a little nauseated. But the second day, it was like I had cut 10 years off my life - my energy level had increased, thinking was clearer and my mental/mood state improved. One month later, I am a new woman, I've lost weight, I've gained energy and mental clarity. But most of all, I have hope that even at 54 years of age, I might get to experience the younger years of fun and energy I missed while caring for dying parents, working two jobs and raising a son as a single parent. The recipes in this book are amazing, simple and tasty. And unlike other books/recipes, etc - all of the nutrient values/calories/srvng sizes are included - as well as, the physical ailments/diseases they help address. It is a must have for those who wish to change their life for the better.

Great and EASY access recipes. If you're thinking of getting into juicing and smoothies - this is the best juice book we've come across! It has a picture, easy flip book recipes. I got his other book, which has it's place in the diet but this one - we were able to just open and start using without having to read any fine print. It tells you what to peel and what you don't have to. My only critique is the poor organization. The flip pages are doubled sided. There are green drinks, red, yellow etc. however, if I want to look at say, all green options I have to keep rotating the book to see both sides. It would have made a lot more sense to have all greens on same side of book and then, flip the book over to see next category. Chaotic to keep track of. Also, if u want a drink with, say broccoli or watermelon there is NO WAY to find the 2 that exist without flipping through half the book. A simple index of ingredients and page numbers would have addressed this.

There are a lot of juice recipes in this book. The book is constructed in a notepad style which can sit on top of a table or countertop and be easily paged through. The recipes are divided into the following categories: Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, and Purple. Basically, the fruits and vegetables are categorized into different color groups and you use this system in conjunction with his website to lose weight. His website is a big resource and he has a lot of free stuff on there to help you reboot your lifestyle. The website even has nutritional plans and guides online to help you get started. You just have to pick the one that fits your lifestyle and goals. They even provide a shopping list and time schedule on the website. I also like how the book just has recipes right on each page. It is simple and to the point. No need to read through endless prose or paragraphs of history that you see in other books. You can also supplement this book with free juice recipes online. Just checkout the Reboot website and do a simple Google search. If you just need some simple juice recipes without the fluff, then this book is for you.

I love this book and it helps me when I need a good juice recipe. I am using it with my 30day juice plan, and it coordinates well with that, although a few of the juices are labeled as 2 servings when they are obviously only one serving, about 2 cups. I like trying new ingredients in juices, and this book does offer some nice new combinations along with the usual mixes that i found in the Reboot with Joe Juice Diet book. The pages are thicker and less absorbent, and there is a fold out stand for the book to be upright and easier to use when juicing and flipping through recipes. I have never owned a juicing recipe book before, but I think it would be easier for me to use if it had an ingredient index in the resource section, like recipes in a cook book are listed by a main ingredient and then page numbers for all the recipes that contain that ingredient. That way, when I have excess of one vegetable, I can find recipes for it quicker than flipping through the entire book and scanning all the ingredients in each juice. But other than that, I love this book. It even has a produce preparation guide and produce substitution guide in the back.

DO NOT hesitate to get this book!!! I have never juiced before in my life and did not have a clue as to what I was doing. There is a short explanation at the beginning of the book to help you understand the IMPORTANCE of juicing, how the book is set up, the meaning of a few icons to help you navigate thru the recipes and that's about it! The recipes are simple with ingredients found at a normal grocery store, and so far everyone we've made have been TASTY!!! I've never had so many different kinds of vegetables and fruits in my kitchen ..... EVER!!!! My husband & I eat things we would have never eaten before, heck I don't even know how to pronounce some of these things!!!! I wish I would have started juicing sooner and I am so glad that I have this 101 Juice Recipes book. Each recipe makes enough juice for two servings (sometimes I drink the whole thing) haha!! Honestly, I'm a for real customer and telling you that this is a great book.

Periodically, one or more members of my family will go on a juicing or smoothie binge. Normally I juice and drink smoothies regularly and I use whatever we have in the house. However, when a family member wants to get healthy on his/her own, I get excited. Earlier this year, my least healthy child, my 16 year old daughter decided she wanted to try to clean up her diet a bit and do a short juice fast. We found plenty of recipes and support on the Reboot with Joe website, but I wanted to make sure she had whatever she needed for success so I purchased a couple of Joe Cross books including the “101 Juice Recipes” published September 16, 2013. I didn’t expect it to be that useful since Joe Cross publishes so many of his recipes online, but this cardboard stock book loaded with beautiful pictures amazed me with its usefulness! Just about all of the 101 Juice Recipes were brand new to us and most of them used produce we could easily source even in southern Alabama. Recipes are organized by color and provide information about which ones are useful for fasting, for energizing during workouts, for avoiding if you have diabetes, etc. The provided recipes gave me, an extremely confident and adventurous cook anyway, the confidence to try juicing foods I never would have considered previously. In fact, so many of my current favorite juices came directly out of or were inspired by this book! My absolute favorite contains fennel, kale, celery, and orange and I never would have tried this combination on my own! I am extremely glad I purchased this recipe book and I constantly recommend it to friends who decide to start juicing.
