by Shell Harris, Elizabeth Downing

Smoothies are not only delicious, convenient, and fun to drink,but they're also a great way to get your daily requirements of fruits and vegetables. However, not all are created equal when it comes to health -- some smoothies from a popular chain weigh in at 500, 800, even 1,000 calories! Shell Harris and Elizabeth Johnson have tasted and tested hundreds. Skinny Smoothies features 101 original recipes for lighter drinks -- low in fat and calories and high in nutritional value -- ideal for anyone who wants to lose weight without feeling deprived. The book includes nutritional information and tips on foods and supplements to rid the body of harmful toxins. Try a Glowing Skin Smoothie or an Apricot Energy Punch, and get started on a delicious path to a healthier life.

Reviews

[Jennifer Denney]

A lot of variety

Easy to read and follow. Like all recipes some are great and others not so much. A lot to choose from.

[William Bevill]

This book is awesome! Totally do-able.. a realistic lifestyle change book, not a diet book. Make healthy & tasty smoothies but not do it to starve yourself or anything silly like all the diet fad books do.

Nothing earth shatteringly new in this one, but a good reminder of what combos of fruits and veggies go well together. Now I just need to get back in the habit of firing up the blender again.

Perfect smoothie recipes, especially for a beginner. So simple. Lots of options.
