This book is filled with information to help you achieve a healthier diet and get serious about losing weight. There are all kinds of recipes for smoothies and tips and guides you though a 21 Day diet plan. The most of the recipes are pretty easy to follow and starts with a 3 day "Detox" and precedes the 21 Day Plan. It is very thorough and covers everything from equipment to ingredients so you are not left with gaps in information. You will need to do some shopping though because there are ingredients you probably don't keep handy. It is a well written and thorough book that I found easy to follow and although I didn't do the 21 day diet (left for vacation 5 days after getting this book) I have picked up some great recipes that I an included in my diet and plan to get back on board.

milks and good fats is one way of doing this
Most of us want to be healthy. Smoothies made fresh with healthier fruits, berries, milks and good fats is one way of doing this. This book gives excellent info on these mentioned things. Alternatives to the not so healthy options and great recipes. They look delicious and are very easy to conjure up. Most of them use only a few ingrediants that you can easily get at any grocery store. I will say that following the plan to the T will be very expensive with all your other grocery items for the week so i only. Got ingrediants for a few smoothies a week that were most appealling to me. The jelly and peanut butter one made with almond butter is really delicious. I use smoothies as a lunch alternative or quick breakfast when i am groggy and dont want to cook. This book has great variety and winderful information for not only smoothies but changing how you look at foods, even a little. Note - I recieved this item in exchange for an honest review

Informative Book with Delicious Recipes - Try the Dandelion Green Smoothie!
What I love most about this book is that it is more than just recipes—I wasn't really expecting that. Being that I have a sincere love of learning and smoothies, I appreciated the additional information. There are lots of excellent tips in here for those of you looking to improve your health and find recipes that are just as delicious as they are healthy. The one thing that really stood out to me was the mention of drinking smoothies for breakfast. I am not a breakfast-kind-of-girl. I don't have much of an appetite in the mornings. With breakfast being the most important meal of the day, I find myself sluggish by lunchtime, so I started blending smoothies for breakfast. I cannot explain how much this has improved my overall mood and energy levels in the morning. It's SO much easier to drink something than to scarf down a large breakfast—and still get the nutrients my body needs. The Dandelion Green Smoothie freaked me out a little bit. Dandelion greens, to me, are quite bitter. However, with the addition of the other sweeter ingredients, it really transforms it into something pretty darn delicious. I highly recommend trying it if you haven't already! It is actually my favorite morning smoothie. Overall, I do recommend this book for smoothie lovers and those looking to find new recipes and other helpful and inspiring information about them. * Product provided free of cost for an unbiased review.

Nice smoothie book for people who are motivated to improve their eating habbits.
I am a big fan of smoothies and make simple ones regularly for my toddler and I. I mainly just use yogurt, banana and berries. I originally thought this book would give me some great ideas and recipe's to add more veggies and protein to my smoothies. I will say, that I would prefer a more simple book with recipe ideas. However, I did find this book very informative. The introduction was very thorough in providing great information regarding the health benefits of smoothies. Additionally, it provided tips on which ingredients are best for smoothies and which to avoid as well as providing some great information about using nuts in smoothies, which is something I never even considered. I also received some great information regarding using frozen fruit and vegetables. The book then offered a 3 day detox plan and a 21 day smoothie plan. Both of these options seem a bit overwhelming for me. I cannot imagine doing 21 different smoothies for every day. However, I do plan to utilize the book and get some great ideas for creating my own smoothies and I like having the option to pick one that I like, rather than having to follow a 21 day plan. Overall, this book is well written, pretty simply broken down steps and the ingredients are clear. I received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased feedback.

Easy To Follow Smoothie Plan For a Healthier Lifestyle
I have always to try smoothies at home but I have no idea where to start. I was delicious but healthy smoothiers and The 21 Day Healthy Smoothie Plan does just that. I like how it has an easy to follow daily guide that will help make a delicious smoothie, help me get more fruits and veggies into my diet and help improve my health. I found the trouble shooting guide very helpful especially since my 1st smoothie did not turn out like I had expected. I liked the snack section, very helpful information.I also loved the salad recipes and can't wait to try them out especially the Spinach Avocado Sprout and the Salad in a Jar, they seem easy to make and very tasty. This books is so much more than just smoothie making but a big help on leading a healthier lifestyle. The shopping list is beyond helpful and can help save you a lot of time and missing ingredients. I am on my way to eating clean and healthy thanks to this book. I received the item for free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are always my own.

A great start to healthier living
I've been wanting to "clean up my act", so to speak, beginning with diet and exercise and get healthy. This book seems like a great place to start with lots of interesting (and delicious sounding) recipes to try out. All of the recipes are plant based, and some of the combinations are a little surprising, but sound really good. Every recipe includes information about the health benefits of each smoothie and the Nutritional Info included at the bottom. The salads are very diverse and also sound delicious. Even the appendixes have some very useful information, don't skip them! I'm definitely looking forward to trying out the detox and then the 3-week plans. One thing to remember, any detox plan will have some side effects (headaches, digestion problems, lower energy and irritation are some that come to mind) but the end result is that your body's cleaner and ready to take on a healthier lifestyle!
