Healthy Quick & Easy Smoothies: 100 No-Fuss Recipes Under 300 Calories You Can Make with 5 Ingredients

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!

Easy use simple recipes that taste really great my son loves making these we make them together they're healthy thanks

This is an extensive book with so many recipes that you can use as-is, or you can add things to for even more nutrition. There are many photos (though not with every recipe), and glossy pages throughout. Very nice presentation. Each recipe has basic nutrition info, but I did find that when I plug the recipe into nutrition calculators, most are accurate but some are way off. For example: the Dragon Fruit Dream smoothie claims 147 calories and 3g of fat (with all 3 g saturated). Yet, with the ingredients listed (which includes 1.5 cups unsweetened coconut milk) the nutrition info is 387 calories and 23g of fat (with 18g saturated). All the other macro info (protein, sugar, fiber, etc.) are pretty accurate, so I'm not sure how the calorie and fat content managed to be so off. So if you're watching your macros or calories, you're going to want to verify the info in this book. It is still absolutely worth it, though!

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 couldn’t 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 book….What’s not to love?? This book has it all!! I haven’t made any of the smoothies yet, however I can assure you I’ve already written a list of items I need to start making some of these smoothies and I’m headed to the grocery store!! I’m 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!!

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).

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

Great addition to my diet choices. Quick and easy. I can always have the ingredients on hand.

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.

Lots of quick and simple recipes.
