Insights
Back cover:
Due to work and the frenetic pace of contemporary life, the majority of us have become accustomed to consuming quick meals based on packaged or ready-made foods. Therefore, few follow a diet that can be defined as balanced. As a consequence, even if we are not subject to serious diseases, we often suffer from lack of concentration, insomnia, indolence or other disorders caused by nutritional deficits.
To overcome this problem, Victoria Boutenko proposes the revolution of green smoothies, capable of restoring the right balance in daily eating habits.
Quick to prepare and rich in nutrients and refreshing substances, green smoothies are a simple way to reintroduce long-neglected fruit, vegetables and greens into our diet. With her over 200 simple recipes, Boutenko manages to simultaneously make our taste buds happy and allow our body to regain the correct need for raw, healthy and nutritious ingredients.
