Product Description:
In search of the perfect human diet, Victoria Boutenko compares the standard American diet with the diet of wild chimpanzees. Chimpanzees share an estimated 99.4% of genes with humans, but their diet is dramatically different from ours. The most glaring difference is that chimpanzees consume significantly more green leaves than humans. Victoria developed a series of greens smoothies that enable anyone to consume the necessary amount of greens in a very palatable way.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - This will have you hooked on green smoothies...
The principles Victoria discussed in her book were interesting, but I was disappointed to see that she rarely included any references to back up the claims.That's why I didn't rate this book with more stars.
However....it will have you hooked on green smoothies!There's no denying that leafy green vegetables are good for you, and this is an unbelievably easy and painless way to eat them.My husband and I bought a VitaMix (also highly recommended) eight months ago and I'm still drinking ... Read More
Rating:  - Simple and cheap way to make a BIG change in your health
Even wild edible plants (weeds) can be used for greens, so it's not just for yuppies. What a great way to get more greens into your diet! I can understand wanting to see more scientific research like another reviewer, but I think the author's theory is strong - based on diet of chimpanzees.

Then you're on your way to better health. Easy, ... Read More

I loved this book.It was easy to read and love the reciepes in the back.I feel so great since I started eating my greens.Great purchase!!!
Rating: - Smoothies taste surprising good
The recipes for smoothies in this book taste surprisingly good.I say surprisingly good because they don't look like they would taste good.Some of the smoothies I made were bright green in color and others were a dark brown -- not very appetizing to look at, but once I tasted them, they tasted great!That's because the ratio of fruit is higher than the ratio of greens.So although you'd think a smoothie using kale might taste bitter, it actually tastes sweet.The funniest part about this experiment is ...

Rating:  - Educated Layperson's Rationale for Green Smoothies + Tasty Recipes
Although not a nutrition professional, Victoria Boutenko makes an excellent case for adding green smoothies into one's daily diet.Her strongest arguments include comparing the standard American diet and typical raw foodist diet with the natural chimpanzee diet, as well as dozens of testimonials.
There is at least one place, however where she got the facts wrong:On page 95 she says "chlorophyll provides iron to organs."In reality, the cholorophyll molecule contains no iron.While similar ... Read More
