As juice bars open across the U.S., the concept of healthy beverages is reaching more people than ever. Drink to Your Health offers over 125 vitamin- and mineral-packed recipes for both hot and cold beverages, including juices, smoothies, shakes, teas, infusions, soups, and more. Specifically formulated to help address - and possibly prevent - 40 ailments, from colds, headaches, and stress to cancer, HIV, and heart disease, the recipes include Tomato Veggie Powerhouse, Frosty Apricot Mint Cooler, and, of course, Classic Chicken Soup. Many recipes can be prepared with nothing more complicated than a hand whisk or long-handled spoon.
The focus of this book is the recipes, with health tips and benefits of various ingredients added in. The recipes are inspiring--and are part of the encouragement I need as I transition from coffee to herbal teas as my beverage of choice.
Inspiring!

I loved this book. While I've only used the smoothie/juice recipes, this book has provided me with great results. The recipes are excellent, but you also get a sense of what things you can use to create your own. In fact, it's the only book I leave out on my kitchen counter, since I know I'm going to use it at least 3 times a week!

This book is a must for everyone who wants to maintain good health as well as focus on recipes to improve well-being. Having recently learned a little about the benefits of green tea, I'm happy to see suggestions which add some variety to this beverage. I've always been a fan of smoothies, and there are plenty in this little (but powerful) book. Up until now I haven't used soy milk very much. But Anita Hirsch has included so many ways to prepare and blend this, that several are bound to become favorites.I also appreciate seeing many other types of drink: soups and teas as well as refreshingly cold beverages. Drink To Your Health has already become a ready reference in my kitchen.
