Home cooks can now introduce even more antioxidant fruits and vegetables into their daily routine. "The Smoothies Bible" makes it easy. More than 400 healthy smoothie recipes that include fruit smoothies like flu fighter #1 and berry bonanza to mango madness and nectar of the gods.

Gord and I have a Nutribullet and we use it every day for our morning smoothies ... I put almond milk, frozen berries, powdered greens, baby spinach, fish oil and protein powder in mine.

The chapters are:

• Recipes - smoothies with fruit, veggies, healing herbs, dairy, dairy alternatives, hot and frozen, and dessert and cocktails

There are a lot of delicious recipes that I'm going to try and the pictures make them even more tempting!

If you have a blender and you want some ideas for some healthy smoothies, you'll want to get this book.

I received a copy of this book at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
