I love smoothies.  I also love sleeping late.  So when I get up and am dressed for work there's usually no time to make a traditional breakfast.  When I discovered smoothies I was thrilled because I could have a healthy breakfast no matter how late I was running.  I'm also really interested in anti aging and what some people call super foods.  So when I saw a book that combined smoothies and anti aging I was really excited.Sandra Douglas has done a really good job with this subject.  I loved the story about how she, her Mom and GrandMom got involved in exploring Smoothies and Anti Aging,  Many if the recipes are introduced with either a family story or more information about the health benefits of that recipe.  There are also tips about how to make a great basic smoothie.The chapter on which foods ward off the signs of aging was really interesting.  The author covers the building block foods that help us to age in a healthier way.  There's also a large list of fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds, oils, spices and some other healthy smoothie ingredients that you can add to smoothies to make them healthier.  I also learned more about the benefits of green tea and discovered that dark chocolate could help my health.The recipes all look delicious.  The All Green Smoothie is one that comes close to a smoothie I like to make.  But Sandra adds raspberries which I'm going to try this week.  The other smoothies that looked especially good were the Strawberry Smoothie, the Kickin Kiwi Smoothie and the Banana Blueberry Smoothie.If you're interested in smoothies that will not only make you feel better but will also help you to age in a healthier way then I would suggest you check this book out!  It's a winner!
