Reviews of Wai Lana’s Favorite Juices
Over 85 of Wai Lana’s Favorite Juice and Smoothie Recipes
Reviewer: Lyda Whiting, Awareness magazine, March/April 2004

The health benefits of natural antioxidants like vitamins A and C are still being discovered. While supplements can be useful, the most complete source of vitamins and minerals is fresh food, especially fruits and vegetables. One of the most interesting and delicious ways to enjoy the benefits of fresh produce is juicing.

Wai Lana, a well-known yoga instructor with a nationwide PBS television series and numerous yoga videos to her credit, makes juicing seem easy and delicious with this appealing book. Over 85 recipes are included, all beautifully illustrated with luscious photographs. Many of the recipes will appeal to kids as well as the rest of the family. The pictures alone will entice you into trying these intriguing combinations. Each recipe includes a list of benefits as well as ways to boost nutrition and flavor.

There are separate sections for fruit juices, vegetable juices, smoothies, and desserts. There is even a section on how to use the pulp left over from juicing, including recipes for patés, vegetarian burgers, and muffins. There are fact-filled charts on vitamins and minerals, details on finding the best produce, and on storing your juice, as well as information on supplements and herbs to add to your juice for taste and added nutrition.

If you have been thinking about adding fresh juices to your life, or if you are looking for some new and interesting juicing recipes, this is a great book to explore. While the recipes require a juicer or at least a good blender, most of the fresh ingredients are readily available in Southern California. Recommended.

A Colorful and Tasty Delight
Reviewer: New Age Retailer Magazine, May/June 2004

Tantalizing is the perfect word to describe both this book and its juice and smoothie recipes. Wai Lana, a popular television yoga instructor, shares her recipes for healthy fruit juices and vegetable juices in this attractive volume.

I have been juicing for years, and this book is excellent. One of my favorite concoctions is Carrot Cake Cooler. With its mixture of carrots, apples, pineapple, ginger, and pumpkin pie spice, this healthy drink really does taste like carrot cake. Lana stresses healthy living and eating throughout the book. I could not find a juice recipe that sounded unappealing. For many of the juices, Lana includes recipes for smoothies and desserts, and she also describes ways cooks can use leftover pulp. I made Lana’s Veggie Hazelnut Burgers using leftover carrot pulp, and they were very tasty. An excellent chart details vitamin functions; symptoms of vitamin deficiency; and the best sources for vitamins.

Fantastically bright and colorful photographs fill every page, giving the book exceptional eye appeal. The cover image reflects the book’s strikingly bold color scheme and will display well. The celebrity of the ever-smiling Lana also will boost sales. The book makes a wonderful gift for people who want to transition to healthier eating; who already are eating in a healthy way; and who prepare food for children.
