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

This very thin book tries to be all things to all people with multiple chapters on specific smoothies to alkaline your body, diabetic smoothies, cleansing smoothies, skin smoothies, to name but a few. I am new to the smoothie world and was just looking for a book that would introdice me to tasty and healthful combinations, as well as give me pointers as to what value a particular fruit or vegetable would bring to a smoothie. Looks like you would have to spend a fortune on various fruits, vegetables and herbs before you could simply whip up something that is enjoyable and tasty. And many of these smoothies do not at all sound tasty. Maybe if you have been into making your own smoothies for quite a while and have particular health concerns this will be a good book for you. But for just learning to make fun and tasty smoothies out of common ingredients that you have in your house, this book is pretty useless.

There is no author, thus no credentials.There are no suggested substitions, either as an appendix or within a recipe (for example, I don't like kale, so is it better to substitute spinach? Watercress? Arugula?)There is no mention anywhere whether fresh or frozen fruit works better. Assume most vegetables are presumed to be fresh (2 kale leaves. But how much frozen could be used as a substitute?)Lots of sweet potatoes in the recipes, but doesn't mention whether orange--technically yams--or white are recommended.Very limited recipes with yogourt. None with tofu.Overall, very disappointing.

For a first time juicer / smoothie person, this is not too bad of a little book. However, there are some details that have been left out that would greatly help with people (like me) who are using these recipes for health reasons. 1: There is no nutritional information for any of the recipes: no calories listed or even serving suggestions. Though the recipes state how many cups the recipes provide, non say how much is a serving. For those of us who are watching calories or other nutritional values such as protein and so forth, having a nutritional list would be beneficial. 2: It would also be helpful if there was a list of substitutions for certain ingredients (such as the honey and dairy) for people who are diabetic / lactose intolerant. Some recipes call for honey, but agave nectar is lower on the glycemic index and much easier for all bodies to digest. Common sense would provide a person the ability to substitute on their own, but some people do not know there are also healthier substitutions available. :) Otherwise, this is a great little book.

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!

Surprising recipes - very delicious and really different. So good you are happy to serve them to friends who don't understand your interest in smoothies or your blender a Vitamix) that sounds like low flying aircraft - the smoothies are delicious and definitely 'higher brow' concoctions than most smoothie recipes (and books). In particular, there is a fantastic bok choy smoothie with citrus juice which makes a fantastic margarita (add tequila for color). No recipe book like it, that I have found.

The use of fresh fruits and vegetables to promote good health is nothing new. Top clinics including Gerson incorporate raw fruits and vegetables into their treatment regimens. We're not talking the kind of spa where people go to drop a few pounds, although those places use fresh produce to help people tone and revitalize the body. Instead we're talking about places where major health intervention occurs through proper biotic nutrition.Fresh, raw fruits and vegetables are exploding with vitamins and enzymes. Enzymes act as catalysts.

Some of the smoothies are a little strange and don’t taste that great. We bought this book for the variety and it does have a big varoof smoothies. Great for beginners making smoothies.

Bought this in haste, without checking the details, and was disappointed to find it contains lots of dangerous, pseudoscientific nonsense about detox and changing your body’s alkalinity. I’d been hoping it was just tasty smoothie recipes. So I’ve requested a refund. For some reason Amazon don’t want the book returned, so it’s going straight in the recycling bin.

Me and my partner love our new smoothie book and we have one every day. There are some delicious ones in there however there are a few vile ones we actually gagged on and others we refuse to try, but everyone's taste is different. Would definitely recommend as there's so many in there for so many different things

Bought as a gift. Is filled with loads of recipes however i have to say was disappointed at no pictures inside

It's a nice book. It's all American though, not that it's an issue. I am just saying. It's very informative, explains all the reasons for a particular chapter, I.e. detoxing etc. Also pros and cons of certain ingredients. Very well thought out.

Good recipes and even although it collects dust most of the year, it is used when we bother to buy fruit for smoothies. Nice recipes and good buy. Thanks. Would recommend.

This book has been great for our entire family who all try to be healthy. The book is broken into catogaries which is useful if you need something more specific or you want to see how well it works. I also found it to be very detailed as it explains what that smoothie does and why etc. As for the recipes, they taste great and combine some ingredients I wouldn't expect, but they work well and go down well with all of my family. I definitely recommend this book.Arrived quickly with no damage.

This arrived yesterday and it’s great , has recipes for every type of diet or health issues , it’s packed with ideas and they are super easy to make , very happy and loving my breakfast smoothies

Was really excited to get this book. But there are no pictures inside, I really like pictures to get the taste buds going and excite the palate as to what’s in store.Didn’t bother read. Mrs said “if the paper wasn’t so rough I’d wipe my arse with it”.So yeah, top 10 worst buys of the year so far.

Arrived within the stated time. Many more recipes for fruit smoothies which are full of sugar. Would have preferred more healthy options

Well presented. Good book for my granddaughter.

Not a bad book and plenty of good recipes

Plenty of recipes to choose from

Very disappointing recipes. I haven't made anything from it. No colour pictures either.

Various blender recepies. Many are well known but the book is small & handy

Recipe are very basic. If you're a newbie or like precise instructions I wouldn't recommend it. If you're more experimental and looking for new combinations then its great.
