The Blender Girl Smoothies: 100 Gluten-Free, Vegan, and Paleo-Friendly Recipes Paperback – June 30, 2015

Tess Masters has a true gift to share with you in this book and on her gorgeous website: healthy blender recipes. This beautiful book has been a staple in our house, along with it's cousin, the app, since it first came out.Since I have trouble following anyone's directions, I use this beautiful book and app as a guide for amazing tasting, unique and very healthy smoothies - far from the strawberry/banana boringness I've made for our family in the past. The photos are gorgeous, the recipes ARE EASY - simply chuck in your blender and flip the switch, and they taste absolutely delicious! The "boosters" add a dimension you won't find in other, more common, read boring, smoothie books. Tess has seriously raised the bar on our smoothie and soup making so much so that even the pickiest of guest eaters to our home absolutely love our new blender creations! Don't be afraid to try these recipes and try the unique ingredients - you'll definitely be back at the store buying them again.

Amazing book, no surprise there. I have so far only tried about 4 of the smoothies, but each one becomes my new favorite. Tess really knows her stuff. Not only does she provide a plethora of delicious, healthy treats in this book, but there is also lots of other great information like how to build your own smoothies and information about how individual ingredients benefit us nutritionally and work in the smoothies. She is definitely the master of smoothies. I honestly though' "I don't really need a book about smoothies, I have my favorites and am happy with those recipes or can find other on blogs". I only ordered this book because I like Tess and wanted to support her. However, I was so wrong! I did NEED this book. There are really amazing recipes in here, I can't believe how delicious these smoothies are and am trilled with this book. It stays out on my counter and I like a very clean kitchen so that alone says a lot.

absolutely love this book!! I especially love the way she explains the components of what makes a delicious smoothie as it totally empowers you to create and tailor to your tastes and available ingredients. I have been making her taste like ice cream kale smoothie for a year now and It finally hit me that the book must be full of amazing others. I've made the raspberry lemon cheese cake and the avonanna so far and they are both amazing!!I took of one star because there is a type on page 182 for the tastes like icecream kale smoothie because it says "Serves 2 1/2 cup raw cashews" this should be 1/2 cup only and is really misleading. 2 1/2 is way too much and gets to an unhealthy level and I have to imagine doesn't taste as delicious. It looks like the Serves 2 is just inadvertently pasted from above. This is just a heads up so that the next print set can be corrected!Other that that - I'm a total fan :) now I'm thinking of getting the original book too to see what Tess has up her sleeve in the none smoothie world!

That's it! I can't wait anymore to review this book. Tess Masters, you are AMAZING! Each blend I've tried thus far has been surprisingly and wonderfully delicious. I was already a fan of your "tastes-like-ice-cream-kale" and your "raspberry-lemon cheesecake" and so many others from The Blender Girl Cookbook, and now these recipes: "appcelerade"; "avo and cuke cooler"; "pecan pie"; "brownie batter"...have just "upped the ante" and I've not even had your book in my kitchen for a week yet! What prompted me to finally sit down and write this review was, believe it or not, your "choc-orange-nana"! It tastes EXACTLY like the chocolate mousse I used to make and it's so much healthier! By the way, thank you for including the section on complementary flavors. Girl, I am worshiping at your altar!

I really love this book. I like smoothies but was getting a little bored with my own combinations. The ingredients are easily obtained and many recipes have combinations of fruit, greens, herbs and add-ons that are very unusual and delicious. I use it several times a week and really enjoy my smoothies. She offers recipes for fruit smoothies, green smoothies and dessert smoothies and includes information regarding nutritional value and health benefits for each blend. Highly recommend this one!

Wow !! What a fabulous cookbook (or should I say blendbook)...... everything smoothies (I might be in heaven) !!! This book is like an encyclopedia of all things blended !! I absolutely love the layout.... fabulous pictures, easy guide to find what you want, and simple instructions. Tess Masters is a smoothie goddess!!

I always made smoothies without a receipe, but this book is helping get out of my smoothie comfort zone. I enjoy trying new flavors. I love that the receipes make 2 servings (4 would be too many for us). These are easy and delicious!

So, need a new meal option? You might consider a smoothie out of this book. The prep for every recipe here approaches a lifestyle but the results speak for themselves.
