Great American Smoothies: The Ultimate Blending Guide for Shakes, Slushes, Desserts & Thirst Quenchers

Rating:
Summary: Recipes are fine, but the book is hard to use.
Review: All of the drinks have cute names like The Picasso, Bottoms Up, etc, which don't give a clue as to what is in the recipe. If you want to use up your last mango, for instance, you have to either page laboriously thru each recipe or memorize the book. Neither the table of contents nor the index cover the ingredients.

Summary: This book is fun and good
Review: I was intimidated at first. There are ingredients that I had to go out of my way to find, but they are good and contribute to making smoothies that are really great. I've lost weight because I drink some of the smoothies in place of a meal. I also get a lot more fruit into my diet this way... I find that I can do all the work with my blender. For instance, if the recipe calls for chopped apricot, instead of chopping the apricot myself I put that in the blender first and let the blender do the chopping, then add the rest of the ingredients. If I add things that need chopping first I get a smoother smoothie. A very good book. Worth every penny.
