Green Smoothies. 50+ Recipes for Nutrition, Life and Health Paperback – October 4, 2013

This book not only has plenty of great recipes but it concisely reviews the nutritional aspects and science of ingesting the veggies used in the smoothies. The quick read in the beginning sections of the book are very concise but each important to fully understand the concept. The personal comments such as, "... I imagine the bits and pieces of the greens and fruits swirling around in the blender. I think about how this particular Green Smoothie is going to taste," adds to a more complete understanding and thus enjoyment of the various recipes and their health benefits.Due to the concise style and the quality in which this book was written, I took the liberty to buy a few more copies to send to some of my family. Lastly, for the price, it is an outstanding value. For just the few dollars spent, you can share this wisdom with others you care about.

I love any kind of smoothie, but I can be kind of a health nut when it comes to providing for my family. I bought this book in search of recipes that were not only tasty, but healthy too. We all know how easy it is to find something that'll please your taste buds, but how hard it can be to make sure it's good for you too. In this book, I've managed to find both! I've particularly enjoyed the kiwi orange swiss and chard green smoothie, as well as the avacado apple green smoothie. I'm still working my way through the book, so I'm sure I'll find even more favorites.

I thought this would be a good way to start learning about smoothies but this seems more for juicing. I don't want to invest in expensive equipment.

I read this through and then went back and read it again, including all of the recipes. This is a very helpful book (and the price was right!) I may not follow all of the smoothie recipes exactly, but the information in this book made me feel very confident about creating my own smoothie recipes. A lot of the recipes in this book call for adding ice, which I don't use. Instead, I use frozen fruits and sometimes frozen vegetables. I have always adjusted any recipe I've read in just about any cookbook, so it was inevitable I would adjust these recipes, too. Worth getting, worth reading, definitely worth trying out the recipes! Eat healthy!

I really like this book, it's presented in a very positive, upbeat way. If I weren't already juicing and doing the green smoothies thing, I would definitely be doing it after reading the book. I think Nadia has an excellent way of getting her readers to "want" to start doing something healthy. And I would recommend this book for those who want to incorporate a healthy habit into their lifestyle, and for those looking for additional ways to build on an already healthy lifestyle, I think this is a great motivation. I love reading about new ways to add to my regiment and that is why I decided to get this book.

Not what I was expecting. It was more discussion about smoothies, ingredients, appliances, etc. than the recipes. In the 50 recipes, it included puddings, applesauce and pet recipes. What a waste! The recipes that were included for smoothies are the same old usual ones that you can find online.

How about listing calorie counts on all smoothies? How about uniform outcome size? "Paged" through it on my Kindle and kinda forgot about it. Keep looking for a better book on the subject.

I am enjoying this green smoothies book,not only because the author explains in detail the reason for the ingredients,and their health benefits,but because she is so exuberant and excited by healthy food.She has nearly inspired me to put on a bathrobe over my jammies at 3:50am,hop in my car and buy all the ingredients ,go back home and blend away! Her joy in explaining and promoting smoothies is infectious. Tomorrow morning is going to be a game-changer for me.I recently went vegetarian,and am committed to live a healthier life. So off to the organic food store it is.I think I will do just fine!! Thank you,Ms.Joyner!!
