The Wholesome Smoothie Bible: Lose Weight, Detoxify, Struggle Illness, and Reside Lengthy

Creative, delicious, healthy recipes.
Best book I have ever found to add new recipes and ideas. Very easy to use.

Great for Beginners
Here are easy to prepare recipes, and explanations about the health benefits, for people like me, who are new to preparing drinks using fruits and veggies. I’ve had fun making and drinking most all of the recipes – my goal being to lose weight. In a little over 3 weeks, I’ve lost almost 15 pounds, using smoothies as meal replacements and having a traditional meal for dinner (I’ve also been working hard in the gym). I just needed to take off 20 pounds, so I’m almost there. I’ll continue to incorporate smoothies into my meal planning because they’re really tasty and have made me feel better in general (I have more energy, and my skin looks better than before I started). This book is really the only one I’ll need. It’s explained things to me about nutrition: which foods to eat and which to avoid. Enough so that I can now make up my own recipes now, and tweak the ones here.

Smoothie book,
The most wonderful parts of the book are the knowledge gains by the “food values” reallylisted for all the foods to know what drinking is indeed helpful nutrition

Best smoothie book!
I can’t figure out why this book is so much better than other smoothie books I’ve seen, but I am loving this book. The smoothies are so easy to make, don’t require a ton of ingredients, and are so healthy. I love how she doesn’t use dairy but is still able to produce thick “smooth” smoothies. Her writing style makes this a very easy read. I had no idea you could freeze avocados! She has great tips and I feel like I don’t have to buy a bunch of weird ingredients or fill my blender all the way to to top with random ingredients to render a great smoothie. She also adds spices to some of her recipes which is something I hadn’t really thought of (aside from adding fresh herbs, vanilla or cinnamon). I’m not a super novice smoothie maker, but I’m definitely not super experienced either. Sometimes making smoothies can be a little overwhelming because I think it’s easy to get in a rut and get bored with the ingredients (and I’m not creative enough to think them up on my own). She offers such variety that I don’t think that would happen. And I love that she labels them (such as Green Lover, Meal Replacement, Low Fruit, etc.) Oftentimes I’m looking to make a smoothie as a meal replacement so I can find those quickly without reading through all the ingredients. Love love love this book! 😉

This book is a gold mine of healthy and delicious Smoothiebrecipes…not to mention useful tips. I bought it because I’m always looking for easy ways to make sure I get enoigh of the fruit and veggies I need. I hadn’t really given too much thought to other benefits and was amazed when my weekly “weigh-in””revealed that I had lost 1-1/2 lbs. I have now been adding Smoothies to my diet for just over 5 weeks and have lost a total of 5 lbs…mostly belly fat. NO diet has ever produced such results. Best of all, though, all my digestive problems have cleared up and I feel energized and rejuvenated. To think all this could happen just by putting my blender to work!

I’m returning the book as it’s impossible to read with all the missing text!

I was trying to find a way to eat more vegetables and thought smoothies might help. I absolutely love the recipes in this book.
