Slurp up icy treats like kiwi frappes, strawberry daiquiris, or have fun freezing creamy raspberry ice pops, tangerine sorbet, plum granita, and much more.
Chapters are organized by color, and are filled with gorgeous photographs for plenty of inspiration. Flip to the front of the book for information on the best fruits and vegetables for juicing, from spring cherries to autumn pears. Check out tips and tricks for getting the best performance out of your juice extractor and blender (and protecting your investment).
