Conventional wisdom today is that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer.  On top of that, such a diet can help us lose weight which lowers the risk of diabetes and other diseases.  However, many of us find that getting the five plus servings of fruits and vegetables can be a challenge.  That is not the case for me after reading this book.  With 147 recipes from which to choose, I can follow my whim and the availability of ingredients on a given day to end up with a delicious smoothie.  So far, I have only tried two of these, the Mint Grape Berry Banana Smoothie (#4) and the Raspberry Banana Smoothie (#55), but they were refreshing and both mint tea-based.  I look forward to trying more and with 147 in total, it will be awhile before I run out of ideas.
