Title: GENIUS! Hands-down the best smoothie recipe book!
Review: I have been looking for a smoothie recipe book for a while and this one is IT!This book has GREAT, simple, recipes, what it does NOT have is a bunch of shilling for the author's blog or unnecessary biographical details about the author or extraneous information about the ingredients or the "smoothie lifestyle." A few smoothies have some unusual ingredients, but nothing you have to trek to the jungles of South America to find. There are just enough unusual recipes to switch things up every once in a while and enough recipes for which you can find ingredients in the winter such that the book is very useful.In essence, it has lots of tasty, straightforward recipes, attractive illustrations, good tips, and pertinent nutrition information included. So far, I've made about 9 of these (had the book about 4 days!) and liked ALL 9!! The tomato basil smoothie is very refreshing and a nice homemade substitute for V8. I was SHOCKED to enjoy the kale-banana smoothie. Previously, I have HATED kale, as in "why do people say mean things like 'here, try this kale'"-HATED. My husband, whose only plant consumption are starches, actually didn't mind the kale-banana smoothie; that's EPIC! The cauliflower-almond butter smoothie? GENIUS!I cannot say enough great things about this book. It was worth EVERY PENNY! My weight has yo-yo'ed for ten years and a couple years ago, I used smoothies as a way to finally lose a significant amount of weight, but I didn't use a recipe book, I just searched the internet (as many smoothie makers do) and fell into a less-than-appetizing rut of the same few combinations. This smoothie book has totally changed the smoothie game for me; I enjoy them again and more so than I ever did!

Title: Loving this smoothie recipe book!!!
Review: I recently purchased a Vitamix Blender, absolutely loving that, and I wanted to get a recipe book for making smoothies. After reading the reviews on this book I decided to purchase it. I just received it yesterday and I couldnât put it down, I am so impressed with this book! The variety of recipes, the vibrant colored pages, the thick glossy pages, the quick and easy instructions, the size of the bookâ¦.Whatâs not to love?? This book has it all!! I havenât made any of the smoothies yet, however I can assure you Iâve already written a list of items I need to start making some of these smoothies and Iâm headed to the grocery store!! Iâm glad I made the choice to purchase this book, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good smoothies recipe book that has it all!!

Title: Returned
Review: I almost kept this book as it looked like nice easy to follow recipes. But- my came with a ruined cover (grooves/gashes) . And the deciding factor was : How often will I have more then half the ingredients in this book. ?! For me- the exotic fruits are too expensive and hard to come by to make these. So- returning

Title: Great variety, some ingredients are expensive or hard to find.
Review: Most of the smoothies I have tried from this book taste good. I recommend it, it is a great way to add more fruit to your diet (and vegetables, but these are mostly fruit based).As with any recipe book, there have been a few smoothies I did not like, but most of them taste good to both me and my kids. There are many flavor combinations I would not have thought of but work well. The consistency of the smoothies is thin so they are easily drinkable (I have made smoothies before from other sources that were so thick they had to be eaten with a spoon). The book includes a great variety of smoothies, most with accessible ingredients but a few are very expensive in my area (e.g. dragonfruit, starfruit) or not available (e.g. guava nectar).

Title: Great recipes and love the spiral bound book
Review: First, customer service was excellent. I really like the recipes in this book. Exactly what I was looking for--simple, yet tasty recipes with a nice variety of flavors. If you find yourself stuck creating the same go-to smoothie recipes, try this book, it contains lots of great ideas.

Title: Good Variety
Review: This book has a lot of great ideas with minimal ingredients needed. However, there are some I wonât attempt due to ingredients I wonât keep on hand. I found some of the combinations interesting and something I would have never thought of making. Overall, there are enough recipes to make and I appreciate they can be halved or doubled.

Review: This is a great resource for anyone wanting to get into smoothies. The recipes are all simple and use easy-to-find ingredients that need little advance preparation. All the smoothies I've tried tasted great too, including the vegetable-based ones. Many of the recipes are accompanied by high-quality, full-colour pictures and bright, large-font text. As a disinterested, unskilled cook, I find that this format takes some of the pressure away from meal prep.Because of this book, I used my blender so much that I broke it.

Review: I bought this for my granddaughter's 12th birthday to go with her smoothie maker. She has been delighted with it and is working her way through large parts of the book. What makes it so good for her is that the recipes are easy to source, the instructions are clear and it contains largely fruit smoothies which is what she was seeking.

Review: I bought two of these one for myself and one for my daughter. The book has nice glossy pictures, the recipes are quick to make and products are easily found at your local supermarket. Delivery was also very quick. I'm very pleased and would highly recommend this book to others looking for healthier alternatives to high sugar beverages.
