Ok, let’s be honest. Who looks at a “green smoothie” for the first time and goes, “Yum, I got to get me some of that!”? I thought so, but I have to say they aren’t at all what you’d expect and this coming from someone who swore I’d never try one, let alone make them a part of my regular diet!So, getting past the “fad” of green smoothies, you need to understand what a great health benefit they are. This is succinctly pointed out by the author prior to getting into the recipes section. Some of the benefits include weight loss, clear skin, and a boost in energy just to name a few. The author discusses all these and more as it’s laid out exactly why these green drinks are so good for you.I liked the sections discussing how various fruits and vegetables affect the taste and the “superfoods” discussion for giving you the full feeling while providing disease fighting nutrients. There’s even a section on blending verses juicing to create these beverages.I’ve only just begun to venture down this path so I have only tried a couple of the recipes, but can honestly say they were surprisingly good. I plan to try many more in the weeks ahead. So, if you want to get on the green smoothie bandwagon get this book for some great information and recipes.
