Appealing presentation with simply styled pictures of delicious looking smoothies and a wide range of unique flavors. Some include less common fruits than you usually see in smoothies like apricots, lychee, blood orange, passion fruit, and red currants, and there are also some options that include veggies such as peas, jicama, kale, cauliflower, beet, sweet potato, and more.
Most recipes don't feature a picture alongside, but the ones that were pictured were beckoningly attractive. I like the flavor options, especially for this time of year when you want a cold, refreshing beverage that is different from your usual lemonade or iced tea. These smoothies make me feel good for fitting in more fruits and veggies and also for making a choice that at least seems healthier than other potential choices.

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!

I'm trying to understand how this book can include the word HEALTHY in the title when the vast majority of the recipes have such high sugar content? Double-digit grams of sugar in many, many recipes, plus more grams of added sugar? One recipe (with only 3 ingredients) has 43g of sugar; another recipe (with only 2 ingredients) has 44g. And yet another recipe (again with only 2 ingredients) has 38g sugar plus 18g added sugar. I'm dumbfounded. Unless I'm missing something, somehow? I'm so disappointed with this book, not to mention the money spent on it (spiral bound $$). I didn't want to buy a HEALTHY smoothie book just to consume loads of sugar in my smoothies.

Has sections on tropical, berry, combo and green smoothies. Some recipes offered new suggestions for my daily smoothies including adding fresh pineapple which I had not thought of since had been raised to not add it to gelatin recipes. Also suggested roasted grapes in recipes. Must give them a try.
Disappointed that ingredients' lists do not include water that she has in the actual recipe.
Disappointed in poor editing of this book eg. had great suggestion listing "Making modifications
& Adding Boosters" except one is Nonfat "Green" yogurt instead of "Greek"

Increased my fruit intake
I have enjoyed the smoothie I have made. I have even learned to improvise when I didn't have all the ingredients. I have wanted to increase my fruit intake and this book has certainly helped with that. The smoothie made with green s and vegetables have not yet appealed to me but maybe someday in the future
