The Smoothie Recipe Book: 150 Smoothie Recipes Including Smoothies for Weight Loss and Smoothies for Optimum Health

I originally purchased this book because I enjoy drinking smoothies as a post workout recovery drink and I needed some new ideas. Wow, was I impressed. There are so many recipes and every recipe I have tried is DELICIOUS. They creatively combine fruits and vegetables to maximize nutrition and flavor. “Super Berry Freshee” and”Fruity Vitality Smoothie” are my personal favorites. Yum! I appreciate that this book took the time to explain the nutritional benefits of each drink. Each chapter is dedicated to a certain health benefit like “Cleansing”, “Anti-aging”, and “High-Energy”. The authors thoughtfully explain how each ingredient will provide the designated health benefits. They even go the extra mile to spell out what exactly an anti-oxidant is and why they are so important. I love the fact that there is an entire chapter dedicated to smoothies for kids. And the recipes are all really easy to make. If you have a blender and some fruits and vegetables you are ready to go. This book would make a great gift. There is truly something for everyone. Whether you are a healthy eater looking for new ideas or someone who is starting a new diet, this book will inspire you to eat well. I can't wait to try every recipe!

The Smoothie Recipe Book has gotten me excited about adding smoothies to my diet. There is an introduction that explains just what a smoothie really is along with a broad spectrum of health benefits such as fighting diabetes, anti-aging and weight loss. The book is laid out in a very easy style so that you can find anything quickly. Each chapter contains a brief explanation along with recipes for various kinds of smoothies, such as Breakfast Smoothies, Antioxidant Smoothies, and many, many more. The recipes are simple, fun, and include unexpected ingredients. I never would have thought of combining asparagus and apples. Along with all the great recipes, there are inserts peppered throughout the book explaining "The Good" and "The Bad" about various ingredients. For example, one of The Good things about limes is that, in addition to being loaded with vitamin C, they are great for stimulating weight loss. The Bad thing is that they can damage the surface of your teeth - so rinse your mouth out after drinking anything with lime. The Smoothie Recipe Book holds a prominent place on my kitchen counter.

This is an awesome book. I saw alot of smoothie recipe books, large and small, I don't need a 300 page recipe book to make smoothies so I bought this one, its the right size & fits in my kitchen drawer, has plenty to offer, has the 150 recipes like it says & I couldn't ask for more. There are fruit, vegie, protein, energy, any type of smoothie you want. Of course you can play around w/ dif ingredients & make what you like. I'd say that this book is a good investment! One of my fav is the vegie smoothie w/tomato, celery, peppers, salt & pepper, it's like a V8 juice. I think there's something here for e'1. I bought a second book to give to my daughter, she & the kids love smoothies in the summertime, there are also gazpacho recipes but I don't think I'd like cold soup? It's worth the price.

Living in California my entire life, I grew up on smoothies during those hot summer days. It was very easy to just throw some fruit and juice into a blender and voila! However, that could get very repetitive and this Smoothie Recipe Book offered so many different options that I don't think I will ever get bored. Not to mention that there are great tasting smoothies in here that I could never even dream about! This book provides fun and innovative ways to create smoothies that are not only healthy for you but are surprisingly tasty. I never knew up till now that simply throwing together a smoothie is not only full of sugar but can be damaging to your teeth. These well thought out recipes help keep you out of the danger zone of making something unhealthy and instead actually help vital organs such as your brain and kidneys. There's even a section for kids, diabetics and people with digestive problems! I definitely recommend this book of delicious recipes for anyone looking for a convenient, fast and yummy meal on the go.

its a good book a lot of ideas

Great recipes! Easy to follow with simple ingredients.

This smoothie book has it all. I really enjoyed reading it. No matter your lifestyle or specific health conditions, you will find something to suit your needs. It has everything. From smoothies for weight loss, healthy skin and anti - aging, diabetic smoothies, and smoothies for brain nutrition just to name a few. Something I really liked is that it gives you the option to exclude any ingredients you may not like, as well as allowing you to add anything you would like to make the smoothie taste wonderful to you. Therefore the recipes in this book aren't set in stone, making room for you to create what's best for you or someone else. The recipes are very easy to follow. This book tells you exactly how to cut the foods for your smoothie, as well as if you should leave the skin on or peel off the skin on certain fruits and vegetables. It specifies whether to use a green apple or a red apple. Some smoothies are designed to be consumed in the morning or at night, and this book will indicate that. There is a secret ingredient that, when added to a smoothie, will preserve it so if you're going to drink the smoothie at a later time it's still as fresh as when you made it. You'll have to read the book to find out! The Smoothie Recipe Book is loaded with all sorts of information. It gives you "The Dish" on a variety of ingredients used throughout the book. "The Dish" provides you with "the good" and "the bad" on foods such as blueberries, broccoli, sweet potatoes, celery, spinach, sea salt, grapes, coconut water, and many more smoothie ingredients. Aside from that, there are several interesting facts about foods and herbs. Did you know that there actually exists something referred to as a negative calorie food? There is also a tidbit of vital information regarding apple seeds that everyone must know. I have learned much from The Smoothie Recipe Book. It definitely exceeded my expectations and was well worth the price since this is a book I can use for the rest of my life. Everyone can learn something from this book. And what a fun way to nourish your body and stay healthy!

The "Smoothie Recipe Book; 150 Smoothie Recipes" provides plenty of smoothie recipes - from all fruit to really tasty combinations of fruit and veg, including potato smoothies! The recipes are conveniently organized according to their health benefits and provide "easily digested" bits of information scattered throughout the recipes on the benefits of the individual ingredients. Covering everything from smoothies to nourish your brain to smoothies to help your digestion, as well as a kid friendly section, what I really like about this book is that it does not overwhelm you with scientific info and the info it does provide is actually accurate (which is not always the case). For example, there is a lot of hype about "alkalizing" diets that affect your blood pH. This book correctly states that there is little one can ingest that will change your blood pH but that the benefit of such diets is to other fluids and systems in the body. In the diabetic smoothie section it even wisely suggests you check with your doctor first as some smoothies contain a lot of sugar. A healthy recipe book with accurate information is really a hard thing to find. Looking forward to trying lots of these recipes!

To be fair it's clear in the product oage that it didn't have photos, but I missed that. In my mind a smoothie book has to have photos.

The book helps to me to make healthy drinks. Only thing lacking are pictures of an end product.

Ring binding covers the full letter S and R ( see photo). No photos or pictures inside. I have asked for a refund.

The recipes aren't that bad, but with some pictures it would have been a lot nicer! But for the price is a good product!

Lots of recipes. Not in color. Would've bought different one just for colors
