• Number of recipes: 100
• Other highlights: I really like Jessica’s attitude in this book. She’s not about knocking you over the head with nutritional information or even making you feel bad for the sugary drinks that may or may not currently be in your cupboard. Her goal is simply to have fun! Kids love juice, so let’s give it to them! Apple juice! Berry juice! Sports drinks! Let’s do it! But let’s also make sure that juice is made with the ingredients that we want in there.
A juicer is definitely a required piece of equipment for this book, though Jessica does talk about how to make blender juices by straining out the pulp. Beyond that necessary equipment, the recipes are all quick, easy blends of fresh ingredients. Most recipes have between three and five ingredients, tops.
The recipes all sounds incredibly tasty and satisfying, especially as we start heading into warmer days. Some of them replicate common commercial juices and sports drinks, while others veer further afield with spices and combinations of vegetables. Although the target audience is parents with kids, there are plenty of ideas and inspiration in here for all juice lovers.
