This is also a community recipe book! In each of my Crazy Sexy
books I always have a posse. When I was thinking about creating
this project I thought, What if my readers were the crew? Many
of them have been following my lifestyle from the start and have
treasure troves to share. Yes! It just felt so right. So I put the call for
recipes out to my Twitter followers, Facebook fans and newsletter
subscribers. As always, the response blew my mind. Can you say
over 300 submissions within a few days? Now for the problem: It
was incredibly difficult to choose! In the recipe section, youll find
their tasty and invigorating juice and smoothie creations. These reci-
pes work. They are tried and true. Use them to inspire your own.
Thank you, dear posse. I just love you.
Even though I love a mean green drink, you may nd that other
fruits and veggies are on your all-star team. The wide array of
recipes from our rock star contributors ranges from sweet to savory
to spicy. I know youll find many to satisfy your needs.
Speaking of fruits and veggies, most of your produce should be
organic (when possible) to get the most nutrients. I know organic
produce can seem more expensive in the short-term, but your long-
term health and longevity will benefit. The good news is that some
conventionally-grown fruits and veggies are perfectly fine to buy.
To make sure your dollars are spent well, check out the Dirty Dozen
and Clean Fifteen.

THE Dirty DOZEN THE Clean FIFTEEN
Benefits & Philosophy
Rejuvenating, green, alkaline juices and smoothies are the life-
blood of the Crazy Sexy diet and lifestyle. Juicing and blending
your organic fruits and veggies are the best and quickest ways to
reduce inflammation (the root cause of most chronic disease) while
hydrating your body, drenching your cells in life-giving nutrients and
even repairing your DNA. Yes, you read that correctly. Say hello to
boundless energy, glowing skin, clear eyes, improved digestion and
exceptional health and happiness. Say goodbye to toxins, excess
weight, sugar cravings, addictions, premature aging and a lacklus-
ter appearance.
Want to build an immune system strong enough to keep you vibrant
during cold season? Are you facing a health challenge and look-
ing for a way to participate in your well-being? Think of your green
juices and smoothies as your personal booster shot in a glass. In
fact, juicing is the cornerstone to the best disease reversal programs
in the country.
Respected wellness centers like Optimum Health, The Hippocrates
Health Institute and Ann Wigmore, as well as countless others build
entire healing curriculums around the power of juice. Nature heals
and repairs the body. We just need to get out of the way and allow
plant medicine to do its thing. But cant I just get the store-bought
stuff and be done with it? Sorry, Charlie. Theres no magic bullet.
We gotta keep it fresh and real. The heat-pasteurized, sugar- and
preservative-laden bottled varieties can stay on the supermarket
shelves, thank you very much.
Not all the recipes in this book will follow my personal 3: 1
formula, and thats OK.Variety is the spice of life, and even I get
bored from time to time. I give you my ratio because most people
add too much fruit. As you build your own practice, you may tweak
the ingredients of the recipes in this book. In fact, I rarely follow a
recipe as its written. Were all different. What you like and what
I like (or what my posse likes) wont always be the same. Get my
point? Its important that you do because I dont want you to worry
or bring fear/doubt into your kitchen: If I dont do it exactly right
it wont work, and I will fail. Oh my, dump that idea. Its small and
boring and just plain untrue.
The 3: 1 Ratio:
Whether Im juicing or making a smoothie, I try to
stick to a 3 to 1 ratio of veggies to fruit. Its a good
rule of thumb if you want to keep your drinks alka-
line (AKA health-boosting). At the same time, you
can make a plethora of nutrient-packed potions
without a ton of vegetables (I just like giving you the
inside scoop on my personal Crazy Sexy regime).
Example:
Cucumber, Lettuce, Celery + 1 Apple
I Sing The Body Electric
You (and all life for that matter) are a network of chemical reactions
and electricity. For your spark to ignite, you must get the proper nu-
trition. A nutrient dense, plant-based diet is the catalyst for these life-
supporting activities. When we lack certain nutrients, say calcium
or iron, imbalances occur. The longer we take to course correct, the
more damage is done. In addition, if we flood our bodies with anti-
nutrients (trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, etc.) or too many fats,
proteins, sugars, salt and so on, the excess creates stagnation and
blockages that result in clogged arteries, weight gain, poor circula-
tion, lack of oxygen and energyjust to name a few. Now for the
good news: When we cleanse our bodies with liquid nutrition, we
release the toxic blockages that halt our flow. We feed our cells and
tidy up our blood, tissues and organs. This process allows the spark
of life (chemical reactions and electric charge) to re-ignite. Guess
what happens next? Our body smiles, and the healing begins.

Spotlight: Chlorophyll
Our plant friends use chlorophyll to convert majestic sunlight
into pure energy. When we eat or drink veggies, chlorophyll
helps us perform the energy-boosting functions that allow plants
to thrive. Chlorophyllthe blood of plantsis actually quite
similar in molecular structure to our own blood. Think about
the power of adding these health-enhancing functions to your
daily life: healing and detoxifying your blood, increasing red
blood cell production (more oxygen!), easing inflammation, the
ability to bind and remove toxic heavy metals (like mercury)
and strengthening your immune system. How can you pass that
up? Plus, juicing and blending break down plant walls, which
makes the chlorophyll more accessible and absorbable, there-
fore increasing its ability to enter your bloodstream and work its
magic.
When was the last time you got your daily ve servings of fruits
and vegetables? For some people the answer is never. A recent
study revealed that more than 50 percent of adults had less than a
serving of fruit per day (defined as one piece) and no vegetables
whatsoever, unless you count French fries. And guess what? Many
experts suggest that we actually need more than the recommended
number of daily servings.
The variety and amount of produce you can pack into your glass
beats your plate any day. It takes over a pound of veggies to make
just one juice! If you sat down to eat the number of vegetables
and fruits that easily fit in one serving of a juice or smoothie, your
jaw would cry for mercy. For example, an average juice day at
Casa Carr includes a head of romaine and kale, 4 cucumbers, 2-3
apples, a lemon, 4-5 stalks of celery and so on. Thats a lot of pro-
duce! And a lot of nourishment. No way Im sitting down to chomp
all that.
Can you believe that you have the power to create a phenom-
enal healthy shift for your body and mind with fresh juices and
smoothies? These alkaline healers deliver a burst of antioxidants
and phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes; build
red blood cells; enhance brain function; balance blood sugars; sup-
ply plant protein and purge tons of icky poisons from their hiding
places. Acidic, chemical-loaded sugary drinks, soda, dairy, cof-
fee and booze cant do that. They pillage your body. Sadly, many
people grab a dehydrating coke when theyre thirsty or a danger-
ous energy drink when theyre tired. If they only knew they could
rehydrate and have explosive energy with juices and smoothies.
Oh, and how about good old-fashioned filtered H2O? Water is
sexy. Its better than any beauty product on the market. Make sure
you sip it throughout the day. If youve drinking lots of liquid nutri-
tion, you wont need as much, but youll still need it.
Tilting the pH scale in the alkaline direction is simple with a diet
lled with mineral-rich plant foods and low in processed foods
and animal products. Alkaline boosters include dark leafy greens,
wheatgrass, veggies, green juices, smoothies and certain grains.
Eating these goodies floods our bodies with chlorophyll, enzymes,
vitamins, minerals and oxygen.
While a slightly alkaline pH is ideal for optimal health, that
doesnt mean you have to eat and drink 100 percent alkaline
foods. Some slightly acidic foods are necessary for proper nutri-
tion, for example, certain beans, grains and nuts. Its the highly
acidic foods that you need to remove or at least drastically reduce
from your diet to create a healthy environment for your cells.

Spotlight: Enzymes
Enzymes are your bodys work force. Theyre the busy build-
ers and demolition teams that constantly tear down and rebuild
the body. Thousands of enzymes are working in your body
right now to support everything from digesting your green
juice to healing your paper cut. Digestive enzymes help break
down food, while metabolic enzymes run the rest of the show
by orchestrating the biochemical reactions that fuel every cell
in your body. Since high temperatures destroy enzymes, its
important to incorporate lots of raw foods in your diet. Also, as
we age we produce fewer enzymes. Fresh juices and smoothies
flood the body with enzymes that can be used for digestion and
repair.
A pHabulous Refresher
Youll notice me throwing acid and alkaline education bombs
throughout the book. So what does that mean?
The quality and cleanliness of your inner ecology will determine
your overall health. Life is more connected than we think. You have
rivers, lakes, streams and terrain right inside your body. Everything
from cancer cells to healthy cells to ocean life is affected by pH (the
level of acidity/alkalinity). Our cells are happy and healthy when
they live in a slightly alkaline environment (a pH between 7.365
and 7.45). So what the heck does that mean? The chemistry of
your bodys fluids and tissues can be measured on a pH scale of
0-14. Seven on the pH scale is neutral. Your body becomes more
acidic as your pH drops below seven and more alkaline as it rises
above seven. Cells, whether theyre in your body or in your natural
world, are peak performers when living in a slightly alkaline envi-
ronment (a pH of 7.365). As with most health-related barometers,
balance is everything.
The standard American diet (SAD) is filled with inflammatory, acid-
ic foods, such as dairy, meat and refined sugar. On its quest for
balance, your body mines minerals from your bones, teeth, tissues
and organs to neutralize acids. This process leads to osteoporosis
and other health challenges.
The same dynamic occurs in your outer environment. Increased
carbon emissions have hiked up the acidity in our ocean waters
causing a dip in pH. To restore alkalinity, the ocean pulls minerals
from marine critters, specifically those with shells. This imbalance is
pushing many species toward extinction.
My Story
If youve been hanging around the Crazy Sexy scene, chances are
youve heard my story. But in case you havent, heres the nutshell
version: On Valentines Day in 2003, I was diagnosed with a rare
and incurable stage IV cancera hard to pronounce (and spell)
sarcoma to be exact. The cancer I have presents in 3 ways: 1) It
can just sit there, stable and dormant. 2) It can be very angry and
aggressive from the start, or 3) It can switch from stable to aggres-
sive at any time, out of nowhere, for reasons Western medicine
doesnt understand. Obviously I hoped for the stable, watch and
wait type. And I also hoped that it would never change. Only time
would tell.
This whiskey tango foxtrot moment (thats military lingo for WTF?!)
sparked a deep desire in me to stop holding back and start living
like I mean it. Since I couldnt do chemo, radiation or have surgery
(none available), I decided to look outside the box to feel better and
participate in my health and happiness. Doing nothing felt totally
disempowering, so I sold everything and hit the road on a deep
healing pilgrimage. To learn to live with cancer I had to first learn
to make peace with that very terrifying notion. What would that be
like? Would my life get stuck in a holding pattern? Would I be able
to sleep at night? Once I got my cancer sea legs, some interesting
ah-ha irony sank in. While learning to live with cancer was a nutty
idea, what I found more wack-a-doodle was that I wasnt really liv-
ing in the first place.
I was stuck and sad and tired. I struggled with my weight and
low self-esteem. I loved bad men, drugs, booze and anything that
pushed my personal edge. I had no idea how to take care of my-
self, what to eat, how to kick my insomnia, allergies and a long list
of isms or how to deal with negative emotions, limiting beliefs
Most of the time, all you need is a little common sense to identify
highly acidic foods, although there are numerous charts online that
list alkaline and acidic foods in detail. As previously mentioned,
refined sugars and grains, soda, coffee, meat, milk, cheese, alcohol
and anything heavily processed are just a few examples of acidic
foods that would fall below seven on the pH scale. On the flip side,
alkaline foods such as veggies, greens, almonds, sprouts, avocado,
millet, some fruits and of course, green juices and smoothies are a
pH of seven or above.
Want to gauge your pH level? I recommend using litmus paper
strips to test your urine. For best results, you should wait until your
second tinkle of the day (before breakfast). Your pH should fall
between 6.8 and 7.5 for ultimate vitality, but dont get obsessed
with numbers. Your pH level fluctuates throughout the day. Nothing
is black or white. This is just a quick snapshot. But this much is true:
Its not about what you eat or drink occasionally. Your body forgives
those digressions. Good, strong health is determined by what you
eat and drink (and think) on a daily basis. Thats why its so impor-
tant to approach this as a lifelong practice. Dont strive for perfec-
tion. Strive for overarching consistency.
Just remember this basic principle: Consume a diet filled with plant-
based alkaline foods and drinks and deal with the emotional stuff
thats holding you back and youll create an inner environment that
allows you to heal and thrive!
and so on. I basically had to rebuild myself.
What I learned transformed my life forevernow it can transform
yours. If youve read my previous books (especially Crazy Sexy
Diet) then you know what Im talking about. If you havent, what are
you waiting for? The philosophy and practice I lay out will change
your life. It may even save it. How can I be so sure? Personal expe-
rience aside, weve received hundreds of testimonialsobservable
evidence that this powerful lifestyle works. Big time.
If you take only one gem from all the jewels I teach, let it be mak-
ing juices and smoothies. Juicing and making green smoothies has
increased the quality of my life (and countless others), and I dare
say its probably increased my longevity as well. Its the one daily
practice that I will never abandon. Because at this point in my
journey, I feel off when I miss more than a day or so. And I dont
know about you, but I no likey feeling off. I have too much revolu-
tionizing to do!
This book is filled with everything I know about juicing and blend-
ing. Do this: Drink your fruits and vegetables. Do it daily. Start with
one liquid elixir per day and inch up to 2-3 over time. And as you
up your juice intake, feel free to reduce your crap intake. Trust me.
This is it. The medicine. The muse. The game-changer. It wont let
you downonly you can do that.
Its been nearly 10 years since my diagnosis, and thankfully, the
disease hasnt progressed. I feel fantastic (better than my pre-cancer
days), and Im so grateful to have a compass and blueprint for
healthy living. My wake-up call taught me how to listen to my bril-
liant inner GPS, brought me back to nature (my church), the garden
and the people and animals who set my heart ablaze. I learned
that a nutrient-dense, plant-based diet is superior, the standard
American diet kills, juice ROCKS, smoothies RULE, stress sucks (all
life-force), exercise is non-negotiable, joy is utterly contagious and
having fun must be taken seriously. Are you ready to learn what I
know? Fantastic! Lets start.
Getting Started
If youre new to green drinks, pace yourself for an enjoyable
experience. Try integrating a juice or smoothie into your morning
routine for a couple weeks and then up your game from there.
Your taste buds will also need some time to catch up, especially if
theyre used to Red Bull and mocha lattes. I suggest beginning with
gentle veggies such as romaine, cucumber and sweet pea sprouts,
and then experimenting with the stronger stuff like kale, parsley
and dandelion greens. Your green drink practice should make you
shine, not shudder.
One thing youll want to do rst is organize your kitchen. Set up
a juicing/blending station. Make sure your tools of the trade are
accessible. If they live in that useless (and hard to reach) cabinet
over the fridge, you may not use them as much. Over time youll
get in a rhythm. Youll build a system. And it will all flow from start
to easy, glorious finish. Above all, relax and have fun. Theyre just
juices and smoothies!
Juicing vs. Blending
Whats the difference between juicing and blending? If I had a
cucumber for every time someone asked me that question, Id be a
very happy (and alkaline) lady. Each method has its unique perks,
but they are both fabulous ways to feed your body lots of nutrient-
dense veggies, tout de suite.
The difference is simple. Juicing extracts the liquid (the heart and
soul) from vegetables and fruits leaving the fiber in the catch bucket
(great for veggie chips, compost or to sprinkle over dog food). Just
think of the volume of veggies you can pack in your glass, sweet
unicorns! As I mentioned earlier, even those of us with the heartiest
of appetites would find it challenging to consume the same amount
of raw vegetables and fruits with a fork. But I thought fiber was
good for you? Yes, beautiful. Youre right, and if youre following
my Crazy Sexy Diet recommendations (eating whole foods, low-
glycemic fruits and raw veggies), youre getting plenty of it.
Blending on the other hand blends! The produce is whirled and
pureed into scrumptious smoothies, fiber and all.
So whats all the fuss over which is better? It depends on what
youre looking for in your drink du jour. I have to say that juicing
is my main squeeze. Green juices and smoothies do share many
healthful benefits, but for the purpose of repair and renewal,
juicing takes the cake. Juices are easier to digest and assimilate.
Digestion uses an enormous amount of energy. This is one of the
reasons I tell people not to overeat or chow down late. Your body
does a deep clean at night. If youre stuffed to the brim, it must
suspend service to deal with your turkey leg.
Juices are predigested (the juicer does all the work!) Therefore,
juices need very little if any digestion. As a result, your body can
shift its healing efforts to other, more critical efforts. Juicing is the
easiest way to get phytonutrients in their most absorbable form be-
cause the concentrated nutrients go straight into your bloodstream.
Most days, I juice 16 ounces in the morning and save another eight
ounces for the afternoon (more on that later).
But make no mistake about itblending rocks too. Blending is a
surefire way to pack leafy greens into your diet (especially those
that you may not find all that palatable). Theyre also a great way
to sneak veggies into finicky kids meals. Some folks find green
smoothies to be more filling since they contain fiber, which is es-
sential for keeping your system clean and running smoothly (if ya
know what I mean). I whip up a smoothie a couple times a week to
mix up my routine and tickle my taste buds with texture and jazzy
ingredients that arent juicer friendly (Please dont juice your al-
mond butter). So do whats right for you. It may change over time.
Go with the flow as you embrace this new lifestyle.
Juicing: Ins & Outs
When?
Mornings are my favorite time to juice because it starts my day off
with a boost of alkaline, plant-powered nourishment. By drinking
veggie juice first thing, Im extending my nightlong fast and allow-
ing my body to continue cleansing and repairing. Also, due to the
process of metabolic waste and repair, were more acidic in the
morning. Rather than feeding the beast with a cup of acidic joe,
dial up your alkalinity with a glass of juicy goodness. Afternoons
are a great time to juice as well. When I experience a mid-day
energy slump, juice puts the pep back in my step.
Basic Crazy Sexy Juice Formula
The base of your juices will produce the most volume. I like to use
super-alkaline cucumber and electrolyte-rich celery. Next, focus on
your leafy greens. If youre new to juicing, add a handful at first, let
your taste buds adjust for a few days of juicing, then add more.
Any combination of kale, romaine, spinach, collards, cabbage,
dandelion, parsley and the like will kick the nutrients in your glass
into high gear. Romaine and spinach have a milder taste, so theyre
great for newbie juicers. Add some low-glycemic fruit if you like.
Remember the 3:1 ratio of veggies to fruits will keep you from peak-
ing on too much sugar.
As I mentioned earlier, not all of your juices have to be super
green. If a particular recipe tastes too sweet to you (or too bitter for
that matter), tone it down or dial it up to suit your palate with my
juice tips (below). Finally, after juicing your fruits and veggies, con-
sider adding some sparkle with a few fresh ingredients. Heres a
list of my favorite ways to give juices a twist. There are many more
clever touches in the recipes section as well.
Juice Tips to Combine Flavors for Your Tastes
Add spice with radish or a small knob of ginger (a little goes
a long way).
Tone down the green taste and add a zesty tang with a
peeled lemon or lime.
Give your juice a fresh flourish with a few sprigs of mint.
Kick up the protein with some sprouts, particularly sweet pea
and sunflower (the tastier variety).
If youve found yourself, as my dear friend Gina would say,
plugging and chugging, try mellowing out the mixture with
a carrot or a sweet bell pepper.

Need a little more sweetness? Add a piece of low-glycemic
fruit like a pear or green apple.
Just remember to go easy on the sweeter fruits if youre healing
from cancer, have diabetes or are prone to bacterial or yeast
infections. Sugar is sugar. And sugar feeds the nasty stuff. Now
that doesnt mean you cant use a piece or two of fruit (in my
humble opinion); just be mindful if youre in the midst of a medi-
cal life lemon. Let your own palate be your guide. To do that, you
cant be afraid to make mistakes. Play and create. OK?
Choosing a Juicer
Gearing up for juicing has never been easier.
There are plenty of green machines on the market to satisfy any
budget, although the cheapest ones may not make you happiest.
Think of your juicer purchase as an investment in your long-term
wellness and everyday energy and radiance. We want to squeeze
every possible ounce of goodness into our glasses. Crappy juicers
produce little yield. Youre going to be spending money on
organic (when possible) fruits and veggies. We dont want them
flying through your juicer with only a few swigs of juice to show
for it. Thats not great for your health or your piggy bank.
Centrifugal Juicers (GOOD)
I have three juicers, but my centrifugal juicer is my best bud. I
love it mostly because its easiest to use and clean, which means
Im going to juice more. Centrifugal juicers tend to have a wider
mouth, so you dont have to cut your produce into itty-bitty pieces
beforehand. Big timesaver.
As a rule of thumb, any food that has a GI rank below 60 is a
good choice, especially if you need to watch your blood sugar.
In fact, people who stick to a low-GI diet are less likely to de-
velop diabetes and other medical life lemons. And guess what?
Not only can low GI diets prevent nasty diseases, they can
also help to stabilize or even reverse them. Cartwheel time!
Common low GI fruits include: lemon, green apple, berries and
pear. For more information, check out books by Jennie Brand-
Miller or the work of Dr. David Jenkins (the founder of the GI
concept).
Spotlight: Glycemic Index
The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how quickly and how
high a particular carbohydrate raises your blood sugar level.
GI is a numerical ranking system that compares a given food
to white sugar.
Because white sugar is all carbohydrate, its designated 100
on a scale of 0 to 100. The GI is a measure of carbs only; fats
and proteins have no effect on the score. Foods with a high
GI value are almost always refined, simple carbs. These foods
break down quickly and rapidly release glucose into your
bloodstream.
Next, insulin levels spike. If youre body is continually bom-
barded, then over time you open the door to disease. Con-
versely, foods with low GI values tend to be unrefined, com-
plex carbs. They dont create the blood sugar/insulin spikes
that lead to imbalance.
The difference between high- and low-GI foods lies mostly
in how much fiber they contain. Fiber slows the digestion of
sugars and keeps you even and peaceful. Thats why a plant-
based, low-GI diet is one of the central tenets of the Crazy
Sexy lifestyle.
So how do these babies work? Your veggies and fruits are pushed
through a chute into a fast-spinning mesh basket with a grated bot-
tom. Next the produce is shredded and spun, sending the juice into
a pitcher and the pulp into a separate basket. Voil!
On the downside, high-speed spinning causes the juice to oxidize
(think rust) faster than it would with a masticating or twin gear
juicer. Since the enzymes in your juice begin to break down imme-
diately, its best to drink it within 20-30 minutes. Saving some for
later? Of course! But dont tell the raw food police who believe that
all juice must be consumed within15 minutes of juicing. Well, if you
live on a commune that might work for you.
If youre like me, theres only time to juice once per day, so make
the best of it. When everyone else is drinking coffee at 4 pm and
youre drinking your second juice (though you may have lost some
nutrients), who do you think is making the healthier, crazier, sexier
choice? YOU! In my humble opinion, your fresh veggie juice will
keep for several hours if you refrigerate it in a mason jar. Be sure to
fill it to the tippy top and secure the lid so its airtight. We want to
keep as much oxygen out of the jar as possible, since oxygen eats
away at the enzymes and nutrients in your juice.
What about overnight? Will a centrifugal force juicer allow your
beverage to last that long? Well, maybe, not really, sometimes
Most of the time it spoils. If your juice is stinky or brown, its gone.
Fully oxidized and rotting = P.U.!
Masticating Juicers (BETTER)
These lovelies operate a bit like our pearly whitesthey grind or
chew up the produce to break the pulp down. The juice is then gen-
tly squeezed through a stainless steel screen.
Since these juicers run at slower speeds than the centrifugal ma-
chines, the oxidation is slower, so more of the nutrients are re-
tained. Score! In a well-sealed mason jar, your juice from a masti-
cating juicer will keep in the refrigerator for a day or two.
Twin Gear Juicers (BEST)
Youll get the most liquid sunshine out of your fruits and vegetables
with this rock star. The produce is pressed between two interlocking
roller gears and the juice is slowly squeezed out. Slow and steady
wins the oxidation race once again, this time giving you up to 72
hours of nutrient-rich juice. The powerful gears can handle fibrous
veggies like wheatgrass, plus youll be able to make other goodies
like nut butters! If youre only interested in juicing wheatgrass, a
hand crank juicer is super-affordable, but keep in mind that it wont
juice your veggies and fruits.
Still, there are a couple of cons to consider with the masticating and
twin gear juicers. Youll spend more time juicing with these ma-
chines and more time cleaning them. Theyre also heavier and can
take up more counter space.
Norwalk Hydraulic Press (BESTEST)
If youre ready to flex your juicing muscles (and have oodles of
cash to spare), check out The Norwalk juicer. This machine literally
presses the juice out of fruits and veggies including tough-to-juice
grasses like wheatgrass. This powerful juicer provides 50-100
percent more juice, which contains 3-5 times the vitamins and min-
erals than juice from other machines. The Norwalk Press is mostly
used for commercial purposes. But I had to add it to the list. Hey, a
girl can dream!
Before you select a juicer, ask yourself the following questions,
and be honest!

How much prep time am I willing to invest in my daily
juicing?
How much cleanup am I willing to endure on a daily basis?
Whats my budget?
Will I be juicing wheatgrass?
Whats more important: The shelf life of my juice or the
time/effort it takes to make my juice?
How much space do I have?
My top choices for juicers:
Centrifugal Breville Ikon multispeed, Breville Juice Fountain
Compact, Omega 4000

Masticating Champion Juicer, Hurom Slow Juicer

Twin Gear Green Star Juice Extractor, Samson Ultra Juicer
Hand-crank Healthy Juicer (great for wheatgrass)
Look for juicer deals, discounts and coupons on Amazon.com,
eBay, Craigslist and at stores like Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Bottom Line
Ultimately, the best juicer for you is the one youre going to use.
You cant go wrong with any of the juicers Ive recommended as
long as youre ready to juice on a consistent basis. Keep your juicer
in a place youll see it every day. Clean it as soon as youre done
using it, so that its ready to go the moment youre ready to juice
again. Look at your juicer purchase as a fresh start. Youve taken
your first step toward a glowing new you! Celebrate by drinking
your first green juice in a champagne glass and toast to becoming
an active participant in your health.
Wheatgrass
Wheatgrass juice gets the Olympic gold medal in health. Widely
acclaimed for its nutritional and therapeutic properties, these mini-
lawn lookalikes contain one of the most potent concentrations of
chlorophyll in nature.
In The Wheatgrass Book, author Ann Wigmore (the big kahuna
of chlorophyll) explains that wheatgrass juice increases red blood
cell count and lowers blood pressure. It cleanses the blood, organs
and gastrointestinal tract of debris. Ann also points out the laun-
dry list of benefits youll experience if you add wheatgrass to your
repertoire.
Wheatgrass:
Stimulates metabolism.

Reduces over-acidity in the blood.
Relieves many internal pains, such as peptic ulcers, ulcer
ative colitis, constipation, diarrhea and other complaints of
the gastrointestinal tract.
Protects us from carcinogens.

Strengthens our cells.
Detoxifies the liver and bloodstream.
Neutralizes environmental pollutants.
Basically, wheatgrass has got it going on, and youd be wise to
get some liquid sunshine for yourself. You might assume that wheat-
grass would be hard to come by, but thats not the case. Many
health food stores carry it, and you can even get a shot at Jamba
Juice. Id be surprised if almost all juice bars and raw food joints
didnt have wheatgrass on the menu.
There are numerous home delivery services as well. Pop wheat-
grass delivery into Google to find a local provider and get fresh
wheatgrass sent straight to your doorstep! There are also a few
websites listed in the resource section.
You can also shop online, where youll find a number of sources
that will provide you with inexpensive, easy-to-use wheatgrass
growing kits (some even come with their own soil) or ship the live
stuff right to your front door. My go-to wheatgrass guy is Michael
Bergonzi (wheatgrass wunderkind and sprouter extraordinaire).
Check out his website at wheatgrassgreenhouse.com to discover
everything you need to know about this celebrated green.
If you decide to juice wheatgrass in the comfort of your own
kitchen, use a twin gear juicer or an inexpensive hand-crank
model. I use the latter. The Healthy Juicer is compact, lightweight
and only $28! Its simple to operate, easy to clean and ideal for
travel. Wheatgrass may not taste like sunshine, but it will make you
glow from the inside out. By the way, taking a sip of pineapple or
apple juice as a chaser will help to balance out wheatgrass eau de
earthiness!
Blending: Ins & Outs
When?
A tall glass of blended green goodness is my idea of a Happy
Meal anytime. If only there were smoothie drive-throughs.
These badass blendies balance the bodys pH and blood sugar
(thanks to our pal ber). Plus, said fiber soaks up toxins and ush-
ers them out of your system. When Im looking for a hearty break-
fast, an easy snack, am pressed for time and cant make a decent
meal, need to quell a craving for Oreos (Double Stuf) or if I want a
little mood booster (from good fats and superfoods), I go the blend-
ed route. Also, if juices bother your tummy, smoothies are a great
alternative.
Smoothies allow you to use foods that your juicer wouldnt appreci-
ate but your body will thank you for. For example, unless you have
a masticating, twin gear or press juicer, sprouts will go to waste.
Centrifugal juicers are useless for sprouts. You put them in, and they
shoot outmostly untouched. Unless you have a top-shelf juicer,
toss them in the blender instead.
Smoothie Tips to Combine Flavors for Your Tastes
Here are some of my most coveted smoothie additions. These in-
gredients are also helpful if youre trying to offset the veggie taste.
My contributors have many more fantastic smoothie ideas in their
recipes, too.
Avocados are one of my staples. They add good fats, which
lower blood cholesterol, plus Vitamin E, B vitamins and folic
acid. They also make your drink creamier.
When your bananas are yellow and firm, peel/cut them up
and put them in your freezer before using for super creamy
smoothies. The potassium in bananas helps fight high blood
pressure and they are known as a natural antacid.
Frozen melon is heavenly in your blended drinks and pro-
vides a healthy dose of Vitamin A (great for your peepers)
and Vitamin C (boosts immunitytake that, free radicals!)
Nut butters give your smoothies a protein pow. Check the
ingredient label to make sure your jar contains nuts only.
Almond butter (organic and raw, when possible) is my favor-
ite variety, but you can try everything from sunflower to ca-
shew.
A teaspoon of cinnamon adds flavor in a snap and helps to
balance blood sugar.
Cacao adds a chocolately zing, which could be a lifesaver
for those transitioning from coffee.
Coconut water (loaded with electrolytes that kick Gatorades
ass) and meat adds a tropical taste.
E3Live is blue-green algae that is said to restore overall
body/mind balance by improving immune, endocrine, ner-
vous, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular systems. E3Live
provides 65 easily absorbed vitamins, minerals and en-
zymes and contains a powerful kick of chlorophyll.

Heres how I use it:

Thaw the bottle (it comes frozen) and pour the con-
tent into ice cube trays. Freeze. Then pop out a cube
or two, and toss them into your blender for a fabu-
lous boost to your smoothies.
Basic Smoothie Formula
Use the following guidelines to build your best smoothie:
Spotlight: Superfoods
Remember when we were gabbin about fabulous phytonutri-
ents in the juicing vs. blending section?
Superfoods are chock full of these anti-inammatory disease
slayers. Your smoothies enter the blender as Clark Kent, tango
with superfoods like maca or blue-green algae and emerge as
the sexy Superman of drinks. Superfoods certainly arent essen-
tial to creating thirst-quenching allies in your path to vitality, but
they will electrify the journey, offer an array of added health
benefits and keep your recipes fresh! Check out the Nutrient
Density Guide for my most treasured superfoods and their
greatest benefits.
Liquid base (ex. filtered water, coconut water or nut milk)

3:1 ratio of veggies to fruit (suggested, but not necessary!)

1 fat (ex. avocado or a heaping spoonful of nut butter)

Optional bonuses (ex. protein powder, raw cacao, cinna-
mon, flax, maca, spirulina, MSM, hemp, chia, goji berries,
and the list goes on).
Spotlight: Nut Milk
Buying your nut milk can be a timesaver; so dont sweat it if
you cant whip up your own. I like Living Harvest, Pacific Natu-
rals and Whole Foods brands the most. But there are many
brands out there, and to be honest, I havent tried them all.
When shopping and comparing, let the sugar content be your
guide. Because as I said in Crazy Sexy Diet, you are sweet
enough! Homemade nut milk is preferable if you have some ex-
tra time, since you can skip the additives and tweak the recipe
to please your palate.
Heres how I get my nut milk mojo fowing:
1. Add 1 cup of soaked nuts (I like almonds best) and 2
cups of purified water in your blender.
2. Blend baby, blend, til the mixture is silky smooth.
3. Pour the mixture into a nut milk bag (cheesecloth, a
super fine strainer or panty hose works too!), and
squeeze out the milk.
Added bonus: Use the pulp for raw nut crackers. There are
an abundance of simple recipes onlinejust do a search for
nut pulp recipes.

A few more nutty tips:
If youre pressed for time and need a shortcut, mix a
tablespoon of nut butter with 1-2 cups of filtered water.
Blend the mixture in a blender and bam. Nut milk. No
bag needed.
If you want to accent your nut milk with a pinch of spice
and sweetness, add a dash of cinnamon, stevia and/or
vanilla extract, etc. If youre super cheffy, use a vanilla
bean. To open the vanilla bean, split it lengthwise using
a paring knife. Then scrape out the meat (also known as
the seeds) for use.
Nut milks add creamy yumminess to your smoothies, but
theyre also refreshing and delish on their own. You can
also enjoy them with your cereal, oatmeal, in your tea
or as a substitute in baked goods.
One of my favorite AM blended power potions includes: one
cucumber, a large handful of romaine (or any other leafy
green mix), an avocado (or almond butter), a banana and a
handful of frozen blueberries. If sunflower or sweet pea sprouts
are in the fridge, theyll be added as well. Coconut water adds
an antibacterial bang. But plain ole H2O works too. When I
choose almond butter instead of avocado, I use almond milk to
blend the smoothie. OMG. Thats all I have to say. If Im look-
ing for some added sweetness, Ill throw in a smidge of stevia
(an herbal sweetener).
Still craving sugar? Dates bring sweetness via natural fruit
sugar to the party. Just go easy. While dates are high in fiber
(which, as we all know, keeps the trains moving on time) they
are also high is sugar. So a little goes a long way. My most
loved non-fruit sweeteners are stevia, lakanto, yacon syrup and
occasionally a drizzle of agave nectar.
Lastly, remember to chew your smoothies. Digestion starts in
your mouth!
Choosing a Blender
Blenders have come a long way from their pia colada begin-
nings. The best ones are expensive. Trust me. Save your pennies.
Go without. Do what you have to do, and make it a priority to get
one when you can. A top-shelf blender will last you a lifetime. These
days Im cruisin with the Cadillac of blendersthe mighty Vitamix.
In addition to creamy, delectable smoothies, you can also look
forward to making raw soups, sauces, ice cream, nut butters and
the occasional margarita with this killer blender. The sole drawback
is the cost. Vitamixes range from $340 to over $600, depending
on the model. Rest assured that youll be investing in a machine that
will stick with you through many years of blending adventures, es-
pecially since Vitamix provides a lifetime warranty and will fix any
issues that may pop up along the way.
The Blendtec is another quality smoothie-making mama. Blendtec
model prices are comparable to those of the Vitamix, so it really
boils down to personal preference. Before buying, do your home-
workresearch, read consumer reviews and comparison-shop for
the best deal.
If these premium blenders are out of your price range, you can
still make tasty smoothies with one of the many moderately priced
machines out there. Breville has three models ranging from $150 to
$300. Warings MBB518 goes for under $200 and gets user raves
for its strength and durability. I have several raw foodie friends that
swear by it. The five-speed, 56-ounce KitchenAid KSB560 receives
high marks from owners and reviews alike, retailing for under
$100.
Helpful Tools
After juicing and blending veggies for a decade, Ive looked inside
and outside the box for ways to make the process as clean, easy
and quick as possible. Bottom line: Even though these tools make
blending and juicing easier, its still not going to be as quick
as a spin through the fast food drive-through. If you want health and
beauty thats more than skin deep, its going to take some of your
time. Guess what? Youre worth it.
Heres a list of my most coveted little kitchen helpers:

Peeler: If your fruits or vegetables arent organic and have
a skin, peel em, especially if theyre on EWGs dirty dozen
list. Youll lessen the amount of pesticides that make it into
your glass and your body.
Debbie Meyer Green Bags: Keep your produce fresh
longer with these magical bags. Less waste. Less time shop-
ping. Nuff said!
Mason Jars: Perfect for storing smoothies and juices: Fill
to brim and screw on top. You want as little oxygen inside
as possible, since oxygen chomps away at your drinks
glorious enzymes. Youll find them at craft and hardware
stores.
Scrub Brush: Dried veg and fruit shreds are stubborn little
buggers. I recommend scrubbing your juicer and blender
parts as soon as youre finished using them. This simple act
will chop your cleaning time in half!
Canning Funnel: I have to give my hubby credit for this
genius idea. Hes a frugal fella. After your produce goes
through the juicer once, send it through for a second trip.
Pop a funnel into the juicer mouth and dump in the pulp.
Ta-da! Youll get at least 2-3 more ounces, which equals
extra goodness for your body and pocketbook.
Sharp Knife: Some of your ingredients will need to be cut
smaller to fit in the juicer or blender. A high quality knife
makes the process a breeze. My favorite knives are made
by a Japanese company called NHS. Ceramic knives are
also pretty popular amongst my chef friends, but you dont
have to get super fancy. Just make sure your knives are
sharp and comfortable in your hand.
Cutting board: If you already have this kitchen itemterrific.
If not, or if youre in need of an upgrade, try bamboo,
which is easy to clean and more eco-friendly. Also, if youre
using a plastic cutting board, keep in mind that tiny pieces
can break off and find their way into your glass. Yuck.
Strainer and salad spinner: Need I say more? Theyre
kinda essential for all things Crazy Sexy.
35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (vegetable soak):
In case youre going through a treatment such as chemother-
apy, you may want to clean your produce with food grade
hydrogen peroxide to remove bacteria. Make sure to dilute
it to a 3 percent solution before using. Search online for a
food grade hydrogen peroxide vegetable soak recipe.
Food grade hydrogen peroxide is the only type of peroxide
that should be used. However, I cannot stress careful dilu-
tion enough. If not diluted, 35% hydrogen peroxide
is TOXIC! And make sure not to get it on your skin.
White Vinegar (vegetable soak): You can also try white
vinegar. Fill your sink with water and add about a cup of
vinegar. Let your veggies sit for about 20 minutes.

If all else fails, do a boil bath, also known as flash pasteur-
izing. Bring a pot of water to boil, then dip your veggies in
for no more than 20 seconds. Fragile greens only need
about 5 seconds. This procedure will kill most if not all the
germs while keeping the nutrients intact.
Shopping
When you hit the produce aisles, natural/health food stores, farm-
ers market stands and CSAs (community supported agriculture)
choose a wide variety of veggies and fruits that are organic (when
possible), super fresh and, in the case of fruit, ripe. Ripe pro-
duce contains peak nutrition. Unfortunately, the majority of our fruits
and veggies are plucked before theyre ready. Early harvesting
is common in mass production and transit. Yet another reason to
try and shop local as much as possible. Steer away from limp or
slimy greens, super mushy avocados (the meat should be green not
bruised) and brown/spotted bananas (leave those to the banana
bread bakers). This handy chart breaks down the physical charac-
teristics you should be looking for when choosing fruit.
Once you get in the groove, the produce section, bulk food bins,
and shelves lined with superfoods will become a happy haven. If
you feel timid or clueless picking vegetables, fruits and other ingre-
dients for your juices and smoothies, start with one or two simple
recipes and use our Nutrient Density Guide as a reference guide.
The lifestyle section offers many more tips on smart (and frugal)
shopping. Dont sweat it cucumbers dont bite! Oh, one last tip:
Plan to go to the store twice per week. Youll want your produce to
be as fresh as possible. Two trips make that dream a reality. Make
a list, check it twice and get in and out as fast as possible. Youll
save time and money!
LifeStyle
Cha-Ching!
Wanna save some dough? Itll take a little extra time and effort, but
if youd like to make juices and smoothies less of a strain on your
purse strings, try adopting a few of these helpful habits. Youll also
be doing Mama Earth a solid by following some of these
suggestions.
1. Pick up produce at your local farmers markets. If youre an ad-
venturous juice or smoothie chef, adjust your recipes to the seasonal
produce offered at local markets. Get your haggle on, compare
prices and sweet talk your way to low prices! Find one near you:
Farmers Market, USDA Farmers Market Directory, Farmers Market
Online.
2. Join a CAS farm. Look for a nearby farm offering community
supported agriculture (CSA). Heres how it works: In the winter, you
buy an advance share of the produce the farmer (or a nonprofit
coop) plans to grow. When the crop starts coming, you swing
by the farm and pick up your share on a designated day. Its just
amazing what a share gets you, starting with bag after bag of
lettuce, spinach and other greens in the early spring. In fact, your
share might be too much to get through. If thats the case, find
someone to go halvsies. A share in a CSA farm usually runs about
$400 to $500 a year. That may sound like a lot, but once you start
collecting sexy sacks of fabulous produce every week from May to
October or even later, youll realize its a huge bargain. But dont
just take my word for it. Crunch the numbers and see if it makes
sense for you. Remember to factor in the investment of your health,
the well-being of your community and the future of the planet.
Check Local Harvest.

3. Budget and plan. First, examine your fridge and cup boards.
What can you build on? Youll start saving right away if you let
your crisper guide your recipes. Plus, remember what I said earlier,
making a list and checking it twice helps you to avoid a cacao nib,
goji berry, macadamia nut butter (and gossip magazines) shopping
spree.
4. Substitutes. Leftover broccoli stems from last nights stir-fry?
Start your juice there! Have half an avocado from your scrumptious
lunchtime salad and a cup of almond milk in the fridge? Lets build
your next smoothie by adding to this foundation. Creative substitu-
tions will keep you on budget and allow you to flex your artistic
culinary skills.
5. Review the Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen. Organic can be
pricey. I get it. But we can still be savvy about which conventional
fruits and veggies make it to the shopping cart. Check out the
Environmental Working Groups lists to determine your priorities for
organic purchases. Choose organic for produce on the Dirty Dozen
list and conventional (when needed) for the Clean Fifteen. They
even created an iPhone app.
6. Grow greens indoors. Greens are the centerpiece of my smooth-
ies and juices, but theyre also the most expensive part. Its expo-
nentially more economical to grow your own food. Start greening
your thumb today by reading Urban Gardening for the Everyday
Person. You Grow Girl is also a fantastic resource. And dont
forget to join the Crazy Sexy Gardening group at my.crazysexylife.
com. Want more? Check out Garden Girl TV, Urban Homestead
and Four Season Farm.
7. Make your produce stay fresh longer. When you arrive home
from the market or grocery store, wash and store your fruits and
veggies so that theyre organized and super accessible (Debbie
Meyer Green Bags extend life expectancy.)
8. Buy used, or barter. Buying a new juicer or blender may not
be in your budget right now, but what about a used one? Craigslist,
eBay, not to mention your friends and family, might have an afford-
able gently used model. Amazon.com, eBay and Bed, Bath and
Beyond offer sales and competitive prices, so take time to do your
homework.
9. Skip the bells and whistles. Instead of buying every trendy
superfood that can fit in a blender, try one at a time and slowly
build up your arsenal. Once in a while, go ahead and splurge, but
if you are looking for somewhere to cut corners, skip the packaged,
prepared goodies.
10. Tighten your belt in other areas. Do you cruise Target looking
for sparkly tanning lotions, huggable hangers, deals and cheap
gadgets? I know you do, because I do. If you think about it, Im
sure youve got some frivolous spending habits you could lose. Re-
distribute your funds. Use them where they matter mostyour food!
11. Know that your actions make a huge difference. Massive
change and shifts occur as a result of societal tipping points. This
means we need you. And you and you and you. This isnt just about
great thighs, more energy and better health report cards. Its also
about revolutionizing our healthcare system, rebuilding big agribiz,
the environment, fossil fuels, world hunger and of course, govern-
ment spending. Nothing will change if we dont demand it. That
burger is cheap because its subsidized. Smoothies and juices will
be cheap one daybecause of YOU! Your voice, actions, and vote

truly count. Who knew you had so much power? Well, I did.
On The Road
While away from home for work or play, it may be tempting to
stray from your angelic alkaline ways. You might think that hotel
living, unfamiliar cities, air travel and jam-packed itineraries are
perfect excuses for skipping your super drinks. Sorry, jet setter.
Were Crazy Sexy health warriors who scoff at such easily avoided
pitfalls.
There are plenty of creative solutions for staying vibrant and
strong while away from the homestead. Whether youre sippin vino
in Napa, camping in the Rockies or playing the slots in Vegas, you
can still enjoy nourishing and energizing juices or smoothies, espe-
cially with my tried and true tips. Read on!
1. Magic Bullet blender. Find the nearest grocery store or farmers
market to pick up some of your beloved blending ingredients. Then,
head back to your hotel, B & B, or cabin to give em a whirl in your
handy, lightweight Bullet. P.S. Bring a cooler to keep your fruits,
veggies and any other perishables fresh overnight.
2. Local juice bars. If youre lucky enough to have a juice bar
in the vicinity, skip the Starbucks latte and treat yourself to a juice
or smoothie. No fuss, no mess, just effortless goodness in a glass
without lifting a finger.
Do some Googling before your trip and download some helpful
phone apps for last minute searches. My favorites are Yelp, VegOut
(Happy Cows love child) and Vegan Steven. Jamba Juice is a
popular chain, and although Im not a fan of their juices, you can
get fresh wheatgrass there!
3. Amazing Grasses (or other green powder). Cant find a juice
bar? This tasty and convenient powder is the next best thing to
green juice. Mix it with some filtered water and voil!
Tick Tock
And because I know you are busy, here are my favorite timesavers:
1. Juice & smoothie packs. When Im really on my game, Ill divide
my produce into individual packs that I can pull from the fridge at
a moments notice. Smoothie lover? Pop your packs in the freezer.
Frozen bananas or cantaloupe make for a super creamy smoothie;
plus, you can skip the ice!
2. Cleanup. In a perfect world, we would clean our juicers and
blenders right away, but that doesnt always happen. If youre in a
time pinch, fill the sink or a bucket with soapy water and leave the
parts to soak. You and your scrub brush will thank me later.
3. Buy frozen or prepared. If youre trying to cut corners, peruse
your frozen foods section for organic fruits. Often, Ill pick up a bag
of organic berries to add some frosty sweetness to my smoothies.
Since the produce goes straight from the farm to the freezer, most of
the nutrients are preserved. Another way to shave minutes off your
juice or smoothie routine is to buy pre-washed, organic greens. Just
dump em in the juicer or blender, add the other ingredients and
drink em up!

conquer! Many hands make light work and more play.
Fasting | Detox
Fasting, AKA detoxing or cleansing, is a great way to kick off
or renew your commitment to long-lasting personal health. If
youre ready to go a bit deeper, you may want to consider a one-
day fast at the turn of the season or whenever you need a good re-
boot. By juice fasting for a day, youre giving your body bonus time
to sweep up and throw out the debris thats built up over the years.
Your body uses the enzymes, oxygen, phytonutrients and chloro-
phyll in your juices and smoothies to mop up the waste deep within
every cell of your temple. But heres the thing, ya gotta fast with lots
of liquid nutrition. Sugary water isnt fasting. Its foolish. OK?
Heres the Crazy Sexy fasting philosophy: Were not depriving
ourselves. Were simply giving our body a break from solid foods
and enjoying a day of hydrating and deeply nourishing vegetable
juices, detoxifying herbal teas and purified water. Youll feel like a
phoenix rising afterwardsmind clear and body strong!
My basic one-day fast approach is not written in stone. Feel
free to tinker. In fact, I insist. In fact, I insist. I also recommend
having a variety of produce on hand for your fasting extravaganza.
That way, you can keep things interesting and well rounded with
a variety of juice recipes throughout the day. You wouldnt eat the
same thing every meal, so why drink the same juice?
When I fast, I enjoy a juice-only experience to give my digestive
system a lengthy rest, but Ive been rollin with the big boys for a
decade now. If youre ravenous by noon, blend up a rejuvenating
green smoothie to keep your belly and brain happy and satisfied
for the rest of your cleansing day.
Spotlight: Phytonutrients
Think of phytonutrients as your personal bodyguards against
free radicals and diseases that threaten your health on a
daily basis. Its best to consume phyto-packed veggies and
fruits raw since heat degrades their healthful benefits. Slightly
steamed or gently sauted is the next best thing. Phytonutrients
give plants their show-stopping colors. And check this out:
Phytonutrients have at least one extra electron. Why is that so
valuable? The electron attaches to aforementioned free radi-
cals deactivating their destructive potential.
To name just a few phytonutrient-rich foods: carrots kick ass
with beta-carotene, tomatoes take down bad guys via ly-
copene, blueberries bust bullies with resveratrol, broccoli
dazzles with glucosinolates and spinach saves the day with
lutein (along with beta-carotene). Youd notice beta-carotenes
orange hue in dark green leafy vegetables if it wasnt for our
dear friend chlorophyll being such a ham. The list goes on, but
the message is clear: Get them in your belly fast!
Psst all the produce in our Nutrient Density Guide is packed
with phyto-goodness.
Crazy Sexy 1-Day Fast
Wake up! Upon rising, I enjoy a warm cup of water with a squeeze
of lemon and a pinch of cayenne. This gives my circulation a kick
and cleanses the liver. Enjoy all the herbal tea youd like throughout
the day.
Early Mornin: 16-20 ounces of fresh juice.
Mid-Mornin: More juice! 16-20 ounces of juice again, mon ami.
Lunch: Encore! 16-20 ounces of juice.
Mid-Afternoon: Hmmmm, could it be? Yes! 16-20 ounces of juice.
Dinner: This is where things get interesting. Want to break your
fast? You have a few options. If youre craving a meal of solid food
right away, ease into chompin with a salad, lightly steamed veg-
etables or warm soup. You could also blend up a smoothie or raw
soup.
If youd like to continue fasting overnight, savor a glass of juice for
dinner and have another serving before bed if your tummy is growl-
ing. Introduce solid foods into your diet gradually the next morning
by starting your day with a juice or smoothie and eating simply
(whole foods, lots of veggies) for the remainder of the day.
Look at your one-day fast as a time to rest your mind and
rejuvenate your physical body as well. If possible, treat yourself
to some gentle yoga or schedule a massage. Go for a stroll in the
woods and soak in a tub. Bottom line: Treat yourself! Fasting isnt
self-torture; its self-care.
This is a day for you to heal and rejuvenate from the inside out. By
nurturing yourself, youre not being selfish, youre staying healthy
and happy so that you have the energy to care for others and give
the world the best you when you walk out the door.
Detox Symptoms
Sometimes during a fast, our bodies pull toxins from our cells
and tissues faster than we can eliminate them. If I was your body,
I might say something like this, Holy sh*t! Shes (hes) giving us
a great opportunity to get rid of all this garbage. This never hap-
pens; lets GO for it! The quick release of buildup can lead to
yucky detox symptoms. Dont worry. You can always slow it down
or buckle in and bear it. The amount of discomfort is usually tied to
the current state of your diet and lifestyle. Most often, a one-day fast
experience shouldnt be too tough, but if youre used to a junk food
fueled, sedentary existence, you may experience temporary nui-
sances such as constipation, mental fogginess, fatigue, breakouts,
headaches and stinky toots.
Heres a list of my favorite ways to alleviate or lessen these
uncomfortable side effects. The more we assist our bodies in the
cleansing process, the less toxins will build up in our system and
cause detox symptoms. These are merely suggestions. Try none,
one or all of em! Whatever feels right for YOU. Get this: My diet
is very clean and yet when I fast I still feel the hit. Why? Because
we live in an ever-increasing toxic world. Not a bubble. Discomfort
is par for the course. But its better than pharmaceuticals, surgeries
and scary chemical treatments. Thats radical, not fasting (or plant-
based living for that matter).
1. Infrared Sauna and Steam Bath. Heat stimulates organs such as
your liver, kidneys and lungs, kicking them into high-gear cleansing
mode. Sweating impurities in the sauna or steam bath helps you
dump waste faster through the largest organ in your bodyyour
skin. Along with all the toxins youre shedding, youre also losing a
lot of water. Avoid dehydration by drinking as much water as
possible before, during and after your sauna session.
2. Colonic. Im just gonna say itpoop, crap, sh*t! We all do it,
so lets start talking about it. While detoxing, your colon releases
waste that has been building up forbrace yourselfyears. This
may be more junk than your exit route can handle (hello, constipa-
tion!)

Colon hydrotherapy is a gentle process that slowly sends water
flowing deep into your colon via a tube. When youre ready to re-
lease, the flow is reversed, taking toxic byproducts down the drain.
By assisting your body in waste removal, youre greatly decreasing
the severity of any detox symptoms that may have crept up during a
cleanse.
The entire process is odorless, clean, monitored by a certified thera-
pist and performed within a closed system. Be sure to find a well-re-
spected practitioner and research the different methods. I prefer the
closed system described above, but there are other options, such as
LIBBE. Check out the resource section for more information.
3. Enemas. Enemas are based on the same principle as colonics,
but since they are performed at home and the water volume and
pressure is limited, youll only be able to access the lower part of
your colon. That doesnt mean they arent helpful. Enemas are a
great way to assist your body in eliminating waste and alleviating
constipation. Also, if youre intimidated by colon hydrotherapy, this
is a nice baby step.
4. Massage & Light Exercise. Lymphatic fluid is our partner in
the fight against disease, and it helps to pull waste from our cells.
Massage improves circulation of the lymph,therefore giving your
bod a hand in the cleansing process. Light exercise like gentle yoga
and walking also helps lymph flow through our bodies more effi-
ciently.
5. Bath. Picture this: soothing music, pillar candles, cell phones off
and book pages crinkled by the steam from your decadent bath.
Deep sigh. A warm bath with 1-2 cups of Epsom salt and cup
of baking soda will help remove acid waste from your cells and
tissues. Plus, youll be soothing achy muscles and improving circula-
tion. Relaxing while cleansing is a win-win situation for your mind
and body, not to mention your spirit.
6. Dry Brush. Did you know that we dump between two and
five pounds of toxins per day out of our skin? We need to keep
the pathways, AKA pores, open so that waste can exit with ease.
Dry brush from head to toe before showering with a natural bristle
brush (which you can find at any health food store) or loofah. Au
revoir, cellular rubbish!
7. Snooze. Your body goes into repair and recuperate mode while
youre in dreamland. Since your sexy vessel is working overtime
while cleansing, its extra important to get between the sheets an
hour or two early.
Overcome Emotional & Mental
Hurdles
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes! Be prepared to face some personal bat-
tles and resistance from friends and family when you alter your
diet and lifestyle. It seems counterintuitive that positive changes
would attract negative energy, but traditions and addictive habits
dont give up without a good fight. Your mind may rebel and your
pals may scoff at even the smallest adjustments to your daily habits.
Whats the green sludge youre hauling around? Gross!
Im here to help you stay strong in the face of these challenges.
Even though were just talking about juices and smoothies right
now, my hope is that one healthy modification will lead to another.
Its a delicious game of dominoes. Once people begin riding the
juice and smoothie wave, they usually get the itch to improve other
areas of their diet and lifestyle. Please review Crazy Sexy Diet if
you want to know how to upgrade the whole kit and caboodle!
Ive encountered criticism, skepticism, cross-examination and con-
demnation for my plantstrong ways (and truckloads of praise and
thanks!). Im here to tell you that its worth overcoming these tem-
porary discomforts to reap the brilliant benefits of a clean, green,
nourishing diet. They dont call us wellness warriors for nuthin!
You
Food can be used as an emotional stopper, keeping fear and pain
stuffed inside. We dowse our feelings in sugar and dunk em in
a deep fryer til theyre unrecognizable. Exhausted? Coffee! Sad?
Milkshake! Scared? Martini, barkeep!
Now is the time to have a heart-to-heart with the person in charge
you. This isnt just about learning how to make a mean juice or
smoothie. If you want to reap the long-term benefits Ive been shout-
ing from the rooftops, it takes time. You have to be patient and bite
off just what you can chew in this moment. Be honest about your
starting point and take this journey day by day. No need to slam
the gas and speed from zero to 60. This is about upgrading your
life, not ruining it.
So what if you slipped up and started your day with a cup of coffee
instead of a green juice. Brush it off, and get your veggies ready
for your comeback tomorrow morning (or that afternoon). No big-
gie. The stress of it all can be just as acidic as the six-pack in your
fridge.
By reading this e-book, youve already committed to change and
youre on the path to healthier living. Give yourself a break, and
most of all, always try to have fun and be super kind to you. Laugh-
ing at yourself helps, too.
Friends & Family
When you start asking for club soda with a lime before dinner
rather than a brewski, certain friends or family members might look
at you like you have two heads. Dont you want some gin in that
glass? Remember that these types of reactions are coming from
within and are not a reflection of your sanity.
You might be grilled with questions about your health and nutrition
choices or given a cold shoulder for passing up your ole pal Bloody
Mary at brunch (Who does she think she is?!). Unfortunately, there
isnt much you can do about other peoples behavior. Just keep your
head up and focus on the big picturelong-lasting health and hap-
piness.
In these situations, the quicker you shake off negativity and march
forward, the better. Slap on your toothiest smile and send compas-
sion, love and forgiveness to the person attacking you. Maybe they
woke up on the wrong side of the bed, but its even more likely that
theyre insecure about their own poor diet and lifestyle habits. Your
glow is going to make others see where they might be going wrong
and that puts peeps on the defensive.
Whatever the case: Never let their junk bring you down. Depend-
ing on the situation, you could casually suggest a few helpful web-
sites or books and change the subject. Youre probably not going to
turn your pal into a juice and smoothie enthusiast on the spot, so be
patient and try not to let their attitude clog up the sunshine youre
giving the world. The best strategy is to lead by example. The proof
is in the puddin!
Heres my last tip and I dare say, its the most important. If you
want to succeed youve got to get clear and focused. When were
wishy-washy, we are more likely to fall short of our true potential.
How do you want to feel? Look? What kinds of relationships do you
want to magnetize into your life? What line of work would be most
fulfilling? And heres the biggie: Whats really holding you back? Is
it unfinished business, anger, resentment, an inability to forgive? If
so, then its time to tidy up your emotional life.
My friend, when this lifestyle is too hard its never just about the
kale (so to speak). Forget about what youre eating and drinking
and work on whats eating you. If you can do that then you can
do ANYTHING. Focusing your attention on your goal will help you
with juice and life. Speaking of life, may you have a magical one.

All of the ingredients in this emerald elixir (except the salt) can be
found late summer and into the fall harvest season at most farmers
markets.
I make it a daily practice to eat the food that we grow on our land
first, getting whatever else enlivens me from the local farmers mar-
ket, trying not to buy produce shipped in from other states and sold
at a larger venue.
This has become an amusing and challenging game where I always
end up the winner (except in the colder winter months!) The seduc-
tive woody aroma of roasting green chili that permeates the New
Mexican air at harvest time inspired adding the chili as a spicy
treat.
Makes 56 - 64 oz.
3 large cucumbers
1 large head lettuce, whatever looks best
1 large bunch kale, any kind
3 - 4 apples
1 small bunch celery
bunch parsley, cilantro or mint
1 fresh green chili, mild to medium, split and seeded
(or a shisito pepper)
teaspoon Celtic sea salt

Ravishing Rhubarb Refreshment is an energizing start to my day.
I started beginning each day with juice in early 2011 and, when
rhubarb season came, I thought Well, I love rhubarb. I love my
green juice. How can I make my juice healthy and rhubarby?
I had some strawberries, blueberries, and the ever-present kale in
my fridge and decided to put them all together. The result was so
amazing that I immediately told a few friends how wonderful it
was.
I dont think its a surprise that
since I started juicing this year,
Ive lost weight, had more energy,
and run my first marathon! I think
juicing truly is an important part of
the foundation that allowed all of
this to happen.
Makes 20 oz.
1 bunch kale
4 stalks rhubarb
Handful of strawberries
Handful of blueberries
Prep and wash all produce.

throat inflammation, to sooth me and to help bring up mucus. Ever
since, Ive made this as soon as I feel even a little under the weath-
er; its always a great source of comfort. And it goes without saying
that its great even if youre feeling well, too!

I love Mexican food and anything with cilantro works for me. I
know how many great health benefits cilantro has and how cleans-
ing it is.
This Mexican Afternoon juice is the perfect start to a beautiful
sunny, happy day. The juice also works great as an afternoon pick-
me-up. I came up with this recipe while I was craving fresh toma-
toes. I added some celery, cilantro, fresh lemon juice and some
carrots for sweetness. This juice is more on the tangier side. You
could always add an apple for more sweetness.

My husband would reluctantly down the green juice I made him or
would add so much fruit it was sickly sweet and I couldnt drink it. I
was desperate for a recipe we could both enjoy.
I tried adding fennel since we both like licorice. Fennel is a good
source of Vitamin C and potassium, so it was perfect for his post-
bike ride recovery. It turned out to be a tasty pick-me-up either in the
morning or on a hot afternoon after riding 200
kilometers.

threw some leftover ingredients togetherplus the lone jalapeo in
my fridgeand BAM! Spicy juiciness was created!
This juice gives me a kick in the butt at 6 AM when Im headed
to work. Bright, refreshing, sassy and spicy, it gives me the heat I
crave and the greens I need. My dog, Tuffy, always wants in on the
action too, but I think this is too rich for his bichon blood. Enjoy!

My day begins with this nutritional powerhouse. It has all the detox-
ifying ingredients and essential vitamins and minerals. The celery,
cucumber and sprouts make a good alkaline base for any green
juice. The bok choy is a great cruciferous vegetable, containing
phytochemicals that help fight disease. Ginger is therapeutic and
adds a special flavor and zest. E3 Live is the blue-green algae that
gives this juice its vitality. Savor each sip of this refreshing, purifying
very green juice. It has become a part of my routine. Love it and
crave it.

feel extra special.

A mild, savory, Italian juice to feast on! Enjoy this aromatic,

and one-half lemon, peeled.
Makes 32 oz.

3 celery stalks
3 fresh basil leaves
3 cups leafy greens (kale,
spinach, romaine)
1 large cucumber

Drinking veggie juice every single day requires creativity if I want
it to continue being something I look forward to ... as if the green
juice high wasnt enough. This juice was the result of a desire for
something different and spicy. And you can never go wrong with
cilantro!

I was inspired to create this recipe while on a 10-day green juice
fast recently. Although I typically go with super simple recipes, this
is like a meal with its large range of ingredients and real taste
depth, which is why I named it Kaleidoscope. It is fabulously
yummy!

Makes 48 oz.

1 bunch of dandelions (as sold in store)
1 small head romaine lettuce (as sold in multi-pack)
4 cucumbers, unpeeled (peeled if not organic)
1 red pepper, de-seeded
1 carrot, with lovely greens attached
1 fuji apple
1 lemon, trim just the yellow skin off to keep pith intact
2 cloves garlic, peeled

Best served up in a fun wine glass, this ultimate Mama Juice keeps
my head cool and my bod healthy while wrangling my busy life as
a mama and entrepreneur. Having had fibrosis, polyps and endo-
metriosis, and a couple of not-so-fun surgeries to boot, drinking this
juice along with Kris Carrs Crazy Sexy Diet has kept me out from
under the knife and kept all my girl parts healthy.
The apple and carrots sweeten the bitter greens; the radish adds a
kick; the beet is an excellent detox buddy and the cucumber keeps
it cool. Enjoy!
Makes 16 - 20 oz.
1 bunch beet greens
1 bunch radish greens
1 large beet or 2 small
ones
2 large radishes or 3 - 4
small ones

My lovely green juice is made from all our own organically home-
grown vegetables and fruit (except lemon and ginger!) I wanted to
create a juice that was balanced in flavor but also as
seasonal as possible. This for me is a serious green juice with veggies

system and starve my stage IV cancer.
When we have one of our juices our family knows our insides are
smiling and thanking us for some wonderful raw nutrition! Go green
juice!

Its easy to come up with a sweet green juice that is yummy and
flavorful, however, when we did our 10-day juice fast recently, we
were craving delicious savory juices at dinner time. This recipe hit
the mark for us. This magical juice helped us feel full and satisfied
as if we were eating a dinner instead having just another sweet
green juice at night. This recipe made a lot of juice for us. Think
of it as a juice feast. Feel free to halve the recipe if you want to
make a more reasonably sized juice for two peopleor invite some
friends over and have a juice party!
Makes 64 oz.

bunch kale
1 small cucumber
1 red bell pepper
bunch flat Italian

Greens 4

Watercress is an often over-looked vegetable that really packs a nu-
tritious punch. In addition to Vitamins A and C and beta-carotene,
watercress contains high levels of antioxidants and micronutrients
that work together to fight against free radicals in the body and
fight inflammation and diseases like cancer. Many people consider
it to be a superfood.
Greens 4 is almost absent of sugar, and also includes a potent com-
bination of ginger and cayenne to the mix. Due to its savory
flavor and mild celery notes, juicers often liken Greens 4 to a
bloody mary, minus the vodka of course!
Makes 16 oz.
3 whole cucumbers
6 stalks of celery
1 handful of watercress
of a lemon
1 ounce of fresh ginger
(approximately the size of
your thumb)
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
Juice each vegetable and fruit
together and add the cayenne
pepper. Serve.

The mix of sweetness with a hint of gingery zip provides me with
the perfect boost of energy when I need a kick in the pants. Its
beautiful amber hue provides an eye-catching change from the
green norm I am used too. I chose to create this recipe after some
health troubles that were causing me to feel bloated, toxic and uber
tired. I decided to do some research and found out what a sweet
and healthy treat beets could be. Adding them to the mix of tummy
tamers and powerhouse detoxifiers, I felt my stomach settle and my
energy return.
Makes 10 oz.

I began making this delicious smoothie when I started my own busi-
ness. I couldnt believe how crazy stressed out I got! Running the
ship took a lot of time, energy and patience, so I needed a quick
pick-me-up that also calmed me down. I did a little research and
found out that bok choy, which is the most beautiful leafy green
(in my book!) helps the body deal with stress hormones. I needed
me some of that quick! I did a little experimenting, and since Im a
huge fan of avocado, I added one to make it a bit thick. Voil! A
tasty drink was born.
I drink this at least once a day for a mid-morning snack to keep
me feeling even-keeled. I can feel the green goodness entering my
veins, which helps with any stress that might come my way. Drink
up and enjoy!
Makes 12 oz.
3 broccoli bunches, chopped
into chunks
1 bok choy, quartered length-
ways
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
Press alternate chunks of broccoli
and bok choy through juicer.
Blend broccoli and bok choy
juice together with the avocado
until smooth. Serve.

This recipe was inspired by a mango-basil smoothie at my favorite
juice and smoothie bar, The Stand, in Norwalk, CT. Its so refresh-
ing! It reminds me of those sorbets you get to cleanse your palate
between courses at fancy dinners. The combo of lemon and basil
makes me think of summer, and the mango gives it just enough
sweetness. I added kale because Im always looking for a way to
sneak in more greens. The lemon makes it an uplifting snack after a
sweaty yoga class or a light yet indulgent breakfast!
Makes 8 oz.
8 ounces almond milk
2 - 4 leaves of kale
(stalks removed)
cup frozen mango
5 - 6 basil leaves

When I first heard about green smoothies, I was skeptical. Very
skeptical! I began by adding five spinach leaves to my fruit smooth-
ie. Within a few weeks I was stuffing handfuls of greens into the
mighty blender. Now I drink a green smoothie every day. I usually
bring one to work in a clear glass bottle. Several colleagues have
asked what Im drinking. I happily provide instructions and free
sniffs. Its fun spreading the word on healthy living one smoothie at
a time. Enjoy!
Makes 48 oz.
3 big handfuls of spinach or bunch kale
1 banana
1 apple
2 handfuls of frozen blueberries
5 - 6 frozen strawberries (or handful of your favorite
berries)
5 - 6 slices of frozen peaches (or a handful of pineapple
or mango)

This smoothie is so, so grounding. I like to think that all of the
healthy, polyunsaturated fats from the avocado is what leaves me
feeling so content after I sip one. It doubles as a terrific dessert, too!
Makes 16 - 20 oz.

1 cup nut or rice milk
1 heaping cup frozen blueberries

Small handful of spinach

small young coconut instead, and it will be delicious.

20 years and was one of 100 patients in the country accepted to
the National Institutes of Healths Undiagnosed Disease Program.
We still dont know what I have, but through recipes like this, eating
whole foods and making positive lifestyle changes, I have opti-
mized my health. When I drink this it gives me energy and I envi-
sion myself healing right down to my cells!
Makes 12 oz.
Handful of organic kale (I like to use a mix of different
colors of kale.)
1 small organic apple, cored
and cut in chunks (I prefer crisp
and slightly tart.)

1 - 2 tablespoon organic, raw
tahini butter (I use Artisana in
the small travel packs.)
Dash of organic turmeric (optional)

Luscious Lemon Basil
Rachel Handel
Fort Wayne, IN
The combination of crisp citrus, cool cucumber and sweet basil
quench summer thirst and warm up wintery mornings. On a summer
morning when it seemed my kitchen only housed a bag of lemons, I
was determined to make lemonade or something like it.
I went to the garden and picked from an abundant crop and I was
hooked! Even my dear veggie-hatin mom (who often does not like
to try my concoctions) asked for more. This is a go-to smoothie,
summer in a glass, warm winter treat and glowing green goodness.
Enjoy!
Makes 24 - 30 oz.

Place the cubed sweet potato, avocado flesh, spice and juice in a
blender. Add 3 dropperfuls of liquid stevia and blend well. If you
have a low-speed blender you will need to blend for an extra min-
ute or two to ensure the smoothie is smooth and creamy.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the stevia and spice to your liking.
I like to add a full tray of ice cubes and blend until smooth and
creamy again, but this is optional. Alternatively you can serve over
ice, straight up or warmed slightly.

banana for sweetness and creaminess. My masterpiece was born!
In the summertime, when nectarines are in season, I drink it every
morning to get the day started. I feel nourished, hydrated and the
best thing is the Saturday morning glow that gets me ready for the
weekend with my husband and lasts far into the night!

impending apocalypse and rescuing cats from tall trees, I was in
dire need of a drink that quenched my thirst and gave me an immu-
nity boost so I could keep myself in fighting condition in case Super-
man needed a female sidekick. I also wanted a drink that didnt
taste like grass clippings and twigs. This did the trick! Its the color
of Kryptonite, but its sweet, delicious and on a hot day. It dances
on my tongue with the grace of Michael Flatley in a tutu!

with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease as well as several can-
cer types, including breast, uterine, ovarian and prostate cancers
Limonoids: have been shown to help fight cancers of the mouth,
skin, lung, breast, stomach and colon
Linoleic and Linolenic Acid (Alpha-linoleic & alpha-linolenic acid):
essential fatty acids required by the body to produce prostaglandin
which regulate blood pressure and immune responses which sup-
press inflammation; they can lower chronic inflammation, such as
proliferative arthritis, regulate blood pressure and the menstrual
cycle, and prevent platelet aggregation
Magnesium: promotes muscle and blood vessel relaxation, thus
improving blood flow
Manganese: used as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme superox-
ide dismutase; enzyme promoter; helps to build strong bones

and helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, increase meal satiety, and
stabilize post-meal blood sugars
Sulforaphane: an Isothiocyanate which supports the bodys detox
process and is a powerful cancer-fighter
Taraxasterol: may contribute to liver and gall bladder health
