Best smoothie book!
I can’t figure out why this book is so much better than other smoothie books I’ve seen, but I am loving this book. The smoothies are so easy to make, don’t require a ton of ingredients, and are so healthy. I love how she doesn’t use dairy but is still able to produce thick “smooth” smoothies. Her writing style makes this a very easy read. I had no idea you could freeze avocados! She has great tips and I feel like I don’t have to buy a bunch of weird ingredients or fill my blender all the way to to top with random ingredients to render a great smoothie. She also adds spices to some of her recipes which is something I hadn’t really thought of (aside from adding fresh herbs, vanilla or cinnamon). I’m not a super novice smoothie maker, but I’m definitely not super experienced either. Sometimes making smoothies can be a little overwhelming because I think it’s easy to get in a rut and get bored with the ingredients (and I’m not creative enough to think them up on my own). She offers such variety that I don’t think that would happen. And I love that she labels them (such as Green Lover, Meal Replacement, Low Fruit, etc.) Oftentimes I’m looking to make a smoothie as a meal replacement so I can find those quickly without reading through all the ingredients. Love love love this book! 😉

Some Higher in Fruit, Fat…Some Great, Some I Wouldn’t Make Again
I purchased this book over a year ago, because I tend to do a lot of veggie/protein powder smoothies (I have one at least every day post work out), and I tend to get bored pretty easily, so I like to try a variety of different things, though I do have a few favorite concoctions I make regularly. None of them are from this book, but overall I did like most of the recipes in here.So for me, because I strength train, and I have a pretty high activity level, and I’m a vegetarian, I added protein powder to everything I tried. I also reduced fruit amounts on many of them, because some of them contain more then my recommended daily allowance of fruit, and I also lowered fat content on some of them, because I have to be more careful about the amount of fat I consume for health reasons. Some of these I actually really liked, and even my sweet veggie smoothie averse hubby enjoyed some of them. Some of the ones I tried I can unfortunately honestly say I would never make them again, for myself or others. I think this book does a good job of incorporating a fair number of veggie recipes that are palatable, but some of that may be a matter of preference. I have a harder time with most recipes that incorporate parsley, and there is a decent number of those in this book. I have made a fair number of the recipes in here, and I do think it could be a good resource for you, but you may need to modify them as I did to meet any special dietary guidelines you have to follow.

Some good recipes but lots of filler
When it comes to smoothies, I’m more of a fan of (relatively) uncomplicated recipes with easy to grab at the local supermarket ingredients like yogurt, milk or juice, and fruit. These had more adventurous ingredients including figs, jasmine rice, etc., though there was an array of easy to procure veggies. Some of these I couldn’t see myself assembling, such as the ones with salad ingredients (including garlic and carrot tops). Like I said, I was looking for more basic recipes. Also many require powders that must be ordered (I assume) online if you don’t happen to have a local source. There are guest sections as well with interviews from other smoothie enthusiasts with their web sites and favorite recipe, as an added bonus.I also noticed something odd in passing about the photos. I made a smoothie (Chocolate Raspberry Joy) which was yummy but did not resemble the photo next to it. For some reason, the photo bugged me, until I realized I had seen it before in a slightly different form in another smoothie recipe book I own called “Metabolic Boosting Smoothies.” The same for a photo that also appeared in “MBS” under the recipe “Strawberry Almond Smoothie.” Until then, I’d assumed the photos were actually finished products of the various recipes on the page. Ah well. Now I know better.I must admit the author is genuinely enthusiastic about smoothies and getting people to have a healthier diet/lifestyle, so I’ll give her points for that.

Overall the book itself is good but many of the sentences on new pages don’t follow on from the previous page. I will contact Amazon for a replacement and hopefully it will be better
