First Impressions:
Lots and lots of yummy smoothie concoctions!
But only found a small handful of "real food" ones. A lot called for flavored yogurts or frozen "fruit & yogurt chips."
Traditional fruit or fruit & veggie recipes + frozen smoothie pops + alcoholic smoothies + juicing section (with "recipes" for good juicing combos)
Color pictures of every smoothie.
Ones I Tried:
Watermelon-Kiwi-Banana Smoothie: Sweeter than I'm used to, but definitely good!
Berries and Mango Smoothie: So it was supposed to be strawberries, raspberries, and mango, but I ran out of strawberries so I doubled the raspberries. Maybe not the best problem-solving. A bit tart. But I would definitely do this one again with the proper ingredients!
Tropical Papaya Smoothie: Pretty good, but I think maybe papaya just isn't my favorite fruit. It came together great, just not my fave.
Overall:
I'd recommend. Lots of great ideas, and I could probably get creative and find subs for some of the non-whole foods ingredients. And I'm always a fan of cookbooks with lots of pictures!
*I checked out my copy of Smoothies from my local library.
