Several of Boutenko's books have been translated into more than a dozen languages.. In recent years she has become known for her development of the green smoothie. Dr. Gabriel Cousens predicted that her book "12 Steps to Raw Foods" was "destined to become a classic". As A. William Menzin, MD, Harvard Medical School stated of Boutenko's book "Green for Life": "In more than thirty-five years of practice as a psychiatrist affiliated with the Harvard Medical School, I have learned one thing very well: Human behavior is very hard to change. Now Victoria Boutenko is persuading me otherwise.… Thirty days of green smoothies will change how you feel, and how you feel about yourself. That’s no small achievement for one small book." — Bibliography Raw Family: A True Story of Awakening 12 Steps to Raw Food Raw Family Signature Dishes Green for Life Green Smoothie Revolution: The Radical Leap Towards Natural Health
