The Smoothie Recipe Book for Beginners: Essential Smoothies to Get Healthy, Lose Weight, and Feel Great

As someone that finds eating fruit a faff and wanting to eat healthier I can recommend this book. It gives lots of advise on the process of making smoothies with health benefits explained. The recipes are great (note think the book is American as measures are in cups). I have a set of cup measures so finally get to use them. The recipe is detailed.. no photos but I don't think that matters. I have eaten more fruit and veg in last week than ever. I am loving it

Great book with simple to follow instructions! My 10 year old loves this and uses it to make everyone breakfast. Couple of less good points 1. Written for American market - all measures are in cups, and some ingredients use the American term 2. Definitely NO PICTURES Otherwise a great buy with some really tasty options!

Very nice book for smoothies some good ideas in it

When I took delivery of this I was suprised at the size of the book. For the price I was expecting a larger book, maybe with illustration. It isn't really what I want to give my daughter for Christmas with her nutrabullet so I will have to go out and purchase a further recipe book.

I have only recently started making smoothies as I wanted to increase the amount of fruit I eat each day and this seemed like an easy way to accomplish that. This book provided a wide range of straight forward recipes suitable for a beginner like myself. Once you know the basic recipe you can simply adapt it for whatever fruit you choose. I love berries so I am inclined to use a range of raspberries, strawberries, blueberries plus a banana and I add coconut milk and yogurt. This book gets you started and you can then do your own thing!

Very useful

Just what I was looking for, has a good selection of recipes

Great book, my first time at the smoothy and juicing thing, i found this book really helpfull, very easy to follow the pictures were fantastic, let's you know how it should look, would recommend this seller.

SMOOTHIE RECIPE BOOK FOR BEGINNERS By Merlene Bishop I would recommend this book for anyone who is interested in getting more nutrion into their daily diet. In today's world, many busy people choose processed, pre-packaged food for convenience reasons. The problem with this is that we give up vital nutrion for convenience. This problematic situation begs for an answer, and that answer, I believe is smoothies; Smoothies are drinks prepared at home with raw, all natural ingredients and a blender. This book has all the info one needs to create optimum nutrional levels, increase energy levels and to eliminate toxins from our processed food diet. A closer look at this would start with "why drink smoothies ?". Most people want to eat healthy, but many don't know where to start. Including smoothies in your diet is not complicated. A blender does the work, and we choose the ingredients from the recipes included in the book. Smoothies have no unwanted additives, are better than juices, have more fiber and whole raw fruits and vegetables. Sugar is absorbed at a slow even pace when we eat adequate fiber; smoothies promote a feeling of fullness and prevent overeating. They are ideal as a meal replacement and nuts, herbs, dairy and soy milk can be added. Smoothies use whole fruits and vegetables and any excess amount over what is consumed at a meal can be refrigerated. The health benefits of smoothies are endless and include better digestion, reduced risks from diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. As a diabetic I think smoothies can be a very vital component in lowering blood sugar. Their use can help manage diabetes by providing a healthy sweet snack or dessert. All of this information is included in the book. Now lets consider the tools needed to prepare smoothies: a good quality blender and several sharp knives, a colander, salad spinner and measuring cups. Additionally, smoothies are beneficial in weight loss since they lower our caloric intake. Overall, smoothies can benefit anyone and you can use them for occasional dietary supplement or incorporate them into daily meals. Smoothie preparation can be simple and inexpensive or involve an extensive financial investment in acquiring all the ingredients mentioned in some of the recipes. Smoothies ~ Bon Appetit !

For a free smoothie recipe book, it’s alright.

Bravo. A well written and very informative book. Lots of fun recipes. I'll go out on a limb and say that most of the recipes fit into the "drinks" rather than "meals" category.

This small book on smoothies packs a big punch. It covers absolutely everything from the tools you need, why you should drink them, advice on finding the best and freshest ingredients and much, much more. This is an easy, enjoyable read. They have made the process of making smoothies simple and easy. The recipes start with breakfast smoothies and include ones for health, weight loss, energy boosters and even desert smoothies. They also cover detox and cleanse recipes. We can all benefit from the smoothies especially with or fast paced lives and the way we eat on the run. Just reading the recipes makes me want to try them right away, not only to enjoy them but to reap all the health benefits, which they cover as well.

I have neither ever drunk nor even made a smoothie!! I start tomorrow. This book is amazing. The method of sharing the knowledge is logical, practical, and focused. The layout uses subheads and bullets, making learning exciting, so I now feel I have enough knowledge to start my daily replacement meal smoothie. It was compiled by the Editors of The Smoothie Recipe Book just for people like me, who felt unsure how to move forward to deliver healthy smoothies.
