We all know how important it is to give our kids a healthy, balanced diet. But how best to make sure they are getting all the vitamins and nutrients they need when fruits and vegetables are some of the least favorite items on their plate? Popular food writer, blogger and mother of three Deborah Harroun has the answer in 100 delightfully flavorful and nutritious recipes for kid-friendly smoothies. Her newest cookbook, BEST 100 SMOOTHIES FOR KIDS offers up kid-test and kid-approved recipes that are sure to please everyone in the family. The book includes recipes for fruit- and vegetable-based juices, as well as a variety that combine fruits and veggies or get their flavor and nutrients from things other than produce. The chapters include Breakfast Smoothies, Lunch and Lunchbox Smoothies, Snacktime Smoothies, Smoothies for Dinner, and Dessert Smoothies. Two special chapters cover Holiday Smoothies, such as pumpkin-flavored smoothies for Thanksgiving or Christmas, and Bedtime Smoothies, made with tryptophan-rich milk bases and with soothing ingredients like chamomile, cinnamon, vanilla, and lemon. What's better than a well-fed and happy child who falls asleep easily after a busy day? Harroun also provides a variety of different options for creating the perfect smoothie, with recipes that include milk- and yogurt-based smoothies as well as dairy-free options made from juice, water, rice milk, almond milk, and soy milk. There are even numerous gluten-free and vegan options as well. Harroun serves up a hundred bright and colorful, healthy and satisfying drinks in this new four-color and photo-rich cookbook. The emphasis throughout is on providing a wide range of flavors, colors, and nutrients, guaranteed to broaden the horizons of any child who thinks carrots or apples are the only acceptable items from the supermarket's produce section. Parents - and doctors and dentists - can take heart in the fact that Harroun uses no processed or white sugar for sweetening her smoothies. With all these options for creating inspired smoothies, parents no longer have to worry about making sure their children are getting all the nutrition they need. The only challenge is figuring out which of these delicious recipes to try first!

Title: Use this book every day
Review: I've had this book for a few months now and make 1-3 smoothies a day. We haven't tried every recipe but we've tried a lot. Some of our favorites are the grape slush, the ones that call for pomegranate juice (now a staple in our house), snickerdoodle, the vanilla honey nut that tastes exactly like a bowl of honey nut Cheerios, the watermelon slushies, and most of the ones with strawberry. There's enough variety that I don't really need to look up recipes on the Internet and plenty of ways to customize the liquid portion. The only one we really didn't like had broccoli in it and was gritty because our very heap blender couldn't break the broccoli down enough. The carrot juice smoothies are yummy, too.

Title: This book makes a great gift. Kids love it and parents love it ...
Review: This book makes a great gift. Kids love it and parents love it too. I have given away more than twenty books . The pictures are colorful and appetizing. Beside creating delicious smoothies the recipes are easy to read and encourage healthy eating. Kids are also encouraged to learn fractions. No sugar is added to any of the recipes. Get your blender ready.

Title: Picky Eater Loves This1
Review: My child (12M) has always been a picky eater. Since this book arrived, he and I have been trying the recipes. Strawberry Banana Oatmeal is the smoothie of the day, today, and a big hit! So worth the purchase, and he's even interested in trying the smoothies with avocados and veggies. I am excited to continue to use this book through the summer as both he and I find hot meals less attractive when it is sweltering. Bonus: As we've been making the smoothies, he's been practicing his fractions to ensure we get the right amounts of all the ingredients (he's also a bit of a perfectionist). Would buy this again in a heartbeat, and plan to purchase one for my parents as well.

Title: Great Gift!
Review: My best friend was concerned that her son wasnât eating enough veggies and other good for you stuff. I purchased this book and a new blender for them as a birthday gift and they love it. She reports that he is trying a new recipe every day and is even being brave enough to add the leafy greens and avocado! He adds a sticker to the recipes he especially likes. Their only complaint is that some of the recipes call for too much banana. My remedying for thatâadd more avocado instead!!
