Juicing for Your Health Dear Friends,
As a mother, vegetarian, and yoga practitioner, the quality of the food I prepare for myself and those I love is naturally very important to me. And since you’re reading this web page, I know that you can also appreciate the connection between the food choices we make and the health we experience.
When I first started juicing a couple of decades ago, I was fasting every Monday and wanted something light but sustaining to drink on those days. So, after hearing about the wonders of juicing from a knowledgeable friend, I decided to invest in a good juicer. On my first juice fast, I was amazed by how much energy I had. I was also excited by how completely delicious and satisfying the fresh juices were—I didn’t experience any hunger at all. Most importantly, I noticed how easy it was to bend, stretch, and focus while practicing yoga and meditation.
Quality nutrition and self-control are both an essential part of a yoga diet and lifestyle. So whether you’re fasting, trying to lose weight, or just getting healthy, a juicing habit can curb your appetite and make a yoga lifestyle easy, energizing, and delicious.
After years of personal research and experimentation, I’ve put together 88 of my favorite recipes to share with you. Some of these recipes are my favorites and others are my kids’ favorites—yes, my kids have been drinking their favorite fresh juices and smoothies since they were little.
It is my sincere hope that this book will inspire you in your effort to improve your own health and the health of those you love by bringing everyone in your family nourishment, vitality, and lots of pleasure.
Let’s drink to our health!
Wishing you the best,
Wai Lana

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.

 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.
