I like smoothies and was disappointed that there were only 15 pages of low calorie smoothies. For the most part the recipes were repetitive. I could have found that online.
I agree with other reviewers that the recipes are quite good, but the writing style is unnecessarily silly, and really distracts the reader from the recipe. Each recipe begins with a description that is full of bad puns. The recipes are good if you can ignore the intros.
I loved this book. I've been wanting to make smoothies at home for a long time, and when I got this book, I felt like I hit a treasure trove. There are plenty of recipes to keep you from getting bored with the same old smoothies, and the recipes themselves are simple and not overly ingredient-intensive. They're also very very easy to double or even triple the recipe for a party.All of the recipes call for an optional teaspoon or so of honey, but I've found that when I make these smoothies, the fruit is already sweet enough, so I'm able to leave the honey out, and the smoothies still taste fabulous.
I think this book is great and the recipes are delicious but there are some ingredients that I can not find like the peach nectar, mango nectar, unsweetened guava and mango juice.
Great book with lots of healthy delicious recipes with ingredients that are readily available. Quick and healthy alternatives to "meals on the go" at any time.
