Rebecca Fallon includes some lessons on nutrition in the opening pages of this beautiful little recipe book, giving us the history of the development of the green smoothie craze, the manner in which to approach adopting them into your food plan and daily nutrition and some solid information about the foods she includes in her ‘suferfood’ green smoothie recipes.Superfoods are foods that directly fight disease and encourage good health. They contain massive amounts of vitamins and minerals –essential nutrients – and phytochemicals such as antioxidants and other ‘medical’ type substances. Some of the superfoods she describes include spinach, nuts, green tea, blueberries and cranberries. Given this informational background she then launches into a series of green smoothie recipes, each carefully explained with preparation and ingestion and storage included.Examples of her green superfood smoothies are Raw Green Smoothie, Banana blueberry and Spinach Green Smoothie, Kale Blueberry and Flax Seed Green Smoothie, Veggie Fruit Green Smoothie, Lemon and Lime Green Smoothie, Honey Spinach Green Smoothie, Cinnamon Blueberry Green Smoothie, Matcha-Berry Green Smoothie, Pear Spinach Green Smoothie, Green Date Smoothie, Spicy Mango Green Smoothie, Strawberry Pineapple and Dandelion Greens Smoothie, Pomegranate Green Smoothie, Cashew Nut Green Smoothie – you get the idea of the variety and new ideas contained in this fine new book.This is a fresh, very complete new recipe collection for those who want to give the healthy benefits of drinking Green Smoothies a chance. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, November 13
