This book caught my eye because I start every day with a shake/smoothie ... protein powder, Greens+ Multi+, fish oil, frozen berries and water. I thought it would be interesting to get some other suggestions. I liked the fact that the focus is on recipes to get you slim and stay healthy.
The author starts by providing nutrition secrets for losing weight with smoothies (minimizing sugar, adding protein, glass is better than plastic, buying organic, sweetening with fibre, etc.). The next chapter has a list of the essential weight loss smoothie ingredients ... like almond milk, bananas, berries, chia seeds, hemp seeds, protein powders, etc. There is a description of their goodness and then how to prepare and store them. Then what follows are 365 recipes for smoothies ... one for every day of the year. They are organized by ingredients to make shopping easier and by season so you'll be using ingredients that are in season. Nutritional information such as calories, carbs, fibreand protein are included along with culinary tips.
I read this book on my ereader ... this would be a book I'd want a hard copy for ease of reference.
If you are into smoothies, you should check it out ... they sound delicious yet healthy!
