Reader Reviews:

American not so healthy option (3/3 people found this helpful)

This book, despite the interesting info on fruit at the begining and nice photographs, is very disappointing. I can get pasted the measures being american but the idea that Gatorade is a healthly nuturious ingredient? For me smoothies are about fresh fruit a healthier option than soft drinks or squash. Gatorade, canned fruit, flavoured yoghurt, concerntrate fruit juice & their instance on freezing everything removes these recipes from that concept. If your looking for healthly recipes do not buy this book.

Informative and interesting but disappointing style (12/13 people found this helpful)

Readers should be aware that this book is very American in style. Although measurement equivalents are listed at the end of the book, I was disconcerted to find that in all the recipes listed, measurements in cups were given. Also, the writing is just so cheesy and totally put me off - names such as Virility Vibe and Fountain of Youth. My first impression was very negative, despite the nice graphics and colours, however the recipes themselves are great, and the glossary is very helpful.

A great introduction to healthy smoothies. (7/7 people found this helpful)

I really enjoyed picking recipes from this book, and the end results are as delicious to drink as they are fun to make. The pictures are great, and the glossary is very informative. 2 things could have made this book even better. 1 - more vegetable shakes, and 2 - ideas of substitutes for ingredients like strawberry nectar or soft silken tofu, which I can't find anywhere.
