Prior to reading this book I thought that preparing green smoothies may be too complicated or messy. I was more concerned about ease of preparation and clean-up time than I was about taste, but this book has simple, mouth-watering smoothie recipes. After considering several books on the topic, I purchased "Green Smoothies: The 50 Best Green Smoothie Recipes For Weight Loss: How To Make The Best Green Smoothies To Drop Pounds" by Daisy Williams. It was the Table of Contents that pushed me over the edge, specifically the snack recipes that caught my attention. I'm tired of those recipe books where the recipes require a million ingredients. I figured since I'm always in a hurry, I could deal with the snack recipes. After downloading and looking through the recipes, I knew I had made the right decision to buy this book. ALL the recipes are simple and most of the ingredients I already have.There are two reasons I became interested in green smoothies. First of all there are all the healthy diet benefits which are explained in the first few chapters of this book. Although I have never been on a "diet" in my life, I'm always on the look-out for "life-style" changes that I can make a permanent part of my life. "Green smoothies" seems like something I can stick with.The second reason I became interested in green smoothies is that my father has macular degeneration and just about every retina specialist in the world will tell you that consuming green vegetables like spinach is at the top of the list of things that "at-risk" people should do to prevent or delay this terrible vision disorder.I highly recommend this book whether you want to lose weight or just get away from sodium and sugar ridden prepared and semi-prepared supermarket foods. Go green.
