Squeeze Life: Your Guide to the Best Bare Body at Any Age

by Karliin Brooks

Overview

Cleanse your mind of all the outdated granola clichés about livin’ raw and get ready to feel good (and yes, look even better!).

The Squeeze features more than one hundred juice and snack recipes, along with completely customizable cleanses for you to choose from. Karliin’s nutrient-packed, lip-smacking juice recipes such as “I Have a Heart-On” and “Kale the Pain Away” are bound to get your blood pumping in all the right ways. And there are snacks! “Jalapeño (Dirty) POPS,” “I Want Candy,” and “Raspberry-Chia Fruit Roll Up” are totally raw, vegan, and comforting parts of your detox. Karliin strongly believes that “diets” (ewww) don’t work, so instead she will teach you how to adopt new habits to help you live happy and healthy.
