Summary: Best Smoothie Book I've used yet!
Review: After trying several smoothie books and shops, this book has the best recipes! The recipes are categorized by the juice used in the smoothie, with an index list in the back, making it easy to find recipes using ingredients on hand. I generally like smoothies to be made with sherbet, but there are substitution suggestions throughout the book which help you to adjust the recipes according to your own tastes, like if you prefer to use tofu, yogurt or ice instead of sherbet. And the page with crunchies and supplement suggestions helps to make the smoothies into meal replacements. There are also recipes for homemade sorbet, smoothie pie, salad dressing, dips and more. Not only is it all easy, but extremely delicious. I just couldn't get enough of this one.

Summary: Great book!
Review: I love this smoothie book. It has everything you want in a great cookbook. Each smoothie is easy to make and a beautiful picture of every smoothie is provided with the recipe. Ingrediants are very simple and easy to find at the grocery store. This book is a must for smoothie lovers.

Summary: Sherbert or frozen yogurt in every recipe!
Review: I was very disappointed to find sherbert or frozen yogurt in nearly every recipe, more than 55 of the 60. I was looking for healthly drink recipes, which I've gotten from several other smoothie recipe books. If I wanted sherbert or frozen yogurt, I'd just eat that and not go through the trouble of mixing up a smoothie. If you want to snack on sherbert with mix-ins, the recipes probably taste very good, and the pictures are attractive. I prefer the fresh and frozen fruit smoothies, making this book pretty useless for me.

Summary: 60 Tempting and Easy Recipes!
Review: This book has 60 tempting creations, indexed by title. There are no categories. However, information is offered for stir-ins and supplements. In addition, there is a section called "Let's get started", which provides basic information to get anyone making smoothies. There is also a nice index at the end of the book that lists ingredients. This would be very helpful if you wanted to make a particular smoothie from something you had on hand. The degree of difficulty of these recipes is minimal. Most, if not all, of the smoothies could be made from ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. They utilize sherbet, fruits, juices and yogurt. There are no recipes that include tofu or soy milk, though you could make your own substitutions. All can be made in minutes with no preparation required ahead of time. Finally, if you like pictures, this is the book for you. Every drink is showcased in glasses from around the world. Ms. Clarke also invites you to her web site for free recipes. By P. Everett.
