Clean Green Eats: 100+ Clean-Eating Recipes to Improve Your Whole Life

This book is great, tasty health recipes that are easy to follow with beautifully pictures. I'm glad I bought it.

Great book. I really like that she explains what goodness in all the different salads, vegetables and seeds/nuts is.

Very interesting recipes

Ce que j'aime avec les livres de Candice Kumai est qu'il y a une bonne variété de recettes et elles sont toutes bonnes pour la santé.

Loved this book; great recipes.

I cannot recommend this cookbook highly enough! I'm not much of a cook, but I'm trying to learn, and I want to cook healthy food that actually tastes good. My fiance loves butter and cream and fried foods, but I want to eat healthy, and the recipes in this cookbook make BOTH of us happy! He loves all the avocado and the tangy salad dressings; I love the cleansing soups and smoothies. I heard about Candice through a recipe featured on darlingmagazine.org and I also tested some recipes from Candice's blog before I broke down and bought the book. It is WORTH IT. I use it to plan my meals each week. The recipes are super flavorful and simple to make. Many of the recipes use similar ingredients, so once you pick up the basics you can mix and match to make them all. There is an awesome introduction giving interesting descriptions and facts about all the ingredients she recommends. The chapters on soups, salads, mains, and veggie mains have enough recipes for variety but not so many that you feel overwhelmed. The salad dressings are my favorites! With only 4 or 5 ingredients, I can make DELICIOUS dressing without any added sugar, preservatives, or random soy or corn products. There is also a great introduction to green drinks and smoothies. If you like those, you can get more with another book by Candice Clean Green Drinks: 100+ Cleansing Recipes to Renew & Restore Your Body and Mind A couple of people have complained about the lack of calorie counts in the book, but Candice explains that this is not about counting calories. Honestly, if you eat these recipes, you can eat until you are full with NO GUILT because everything you're putting in your body is good for you. Basically, if you are looking for a book to help you cook with flavor without using a ton of butter and cream, THIS IS THE ONE.

This is a very well written and informative book that is more than just a "cook book". It's not about going vegan, vegetarian, or about going on a diet, although I'm confident weight loss will be a side effect of following these easy and healthy recipes! Candice spends the first part of the book explaining benefits of the key ingredients she uses in her recipes, as well as how to properly store them for maximum shelf life. A lot of the ingredients are new to me and aren't cheap since they come from specialty organic markets, so this book paid for itself with the first recipe when I finally started properly storing nuts, grains, seeds, etc. She has many great tips on making smoothies properly and choosing good produce as well. For a former junk food junkie like me who is now trying to get healthy as a result of an auto immune disorder, this book is a wealth of knowledge because I don't know a lot about the ingredients and what you don't know can hurt you if you try to cook with expensive, foreign ingredients that you've never used. I'm ashamed to say that I don't have much experience with Brussel sprouts, fennel, and quinoa, but no worries! Candice explains it all before diving into her well organized recipes! Another reason why I like this book is that she repeats ingredients. There is a lot of variety, but when you're buying expensive organic ingredients, it's nice to be able to use up what you've purchased. I hate "cleanses" and other books that have you buy a ten or twenty dollar novelty food item that you'll never use again. Candice has carefully thought out her recipes, and she won't leave you with half eaten anything! I also appreciate that she doesn't dump peppers into all her recipes. I have a sensitive stomach and most healthy recipes I find are loaded with all sorts of peppers and spicy fare. She does add curry and spice here and there, but it isn't EVERYWHERE. it's nice to finally find something that works for me and that I can actually manage! There are no strict rules, just great information and recipes!

Very healthy and interesting recipes. Enjoyed this book very much.
