Summary: Diappointed in Number of Quality Drinks
Review: I purchased this book based on the number of recipes - wrong move! I found many of the recipes to be redundant in all the drink categories. And frankly, most just weren't that tasty. I don't know who Sally Ann Berk is, but it is evident that she isn't a chef. If volumes of marginal drinks are what you are looking for, perhaps you will find this appealing. However, you may want to save your money and buy a book with less recipes and more quality.

Summary: Awesome smoothie book
Review: My situation: I received a brand new blender and I had very few good recipes. My first smoothie book was decent, it was Super Smoothies: 50 Recipes for Health and Energy ISBN 081182540X. I was a little disappointed with this book. I knew from the title it would only have 50 recipes, but the money I was paying for this book really wasn't going towards recipes, but to the fancy design of the book and tons of pictures of the smoothies.I decided for my second smoothie book, I was doing away with the pictures and going for as many recipes as possible. When I stumbled across this book for about half the price and FIFTEEN TIMES the number of recipes (including shakes and frappes), I was in heaven. All recipes include complete nutritional analysis (so you know how good or bad it is for you!). Drinks are divided into alphabetical listings. Here are a few samples of the drinks in this book: Pineapple-Mint Sour, Fuzzy Pink Splash, Kiwi Quencher, and Chocolate-Raspberry Shake. With some recipes books, I worry that I'll never make a good portion of the recipes within. With this book and 750 recipes, I know I'll never get to that point...

Summary: Got any cucumber juice?
Review: Yeah, I didn't think so. I wanted a book on making smoothies with everyday items, and this wasn't it. It seems you should have a juicer to utilize the majority of the recipes in this book....I was unaware of that. Even if I had the juicer, I really wasn't that impressed with this book. A lot of the recipes seemed very similar to me. Well, I'm off to find the perfect smoothie book so I can get that VitaMix earning it's keep!
