Carbs & Cals Smoothies: 80 Healthy Smoothie Recipes & 275 Photos of Ingredients to Create Your Own! Paperback – 4 Jan. 2016

I'm delighted with this book.Every smoothie has a beautifully illustrated coloured page and photo of the finished drink, showing the ingredients used. Each smoothie is for 1 person therefore you don't have to make reductions to adjust the recipe.It provides the gms of carbs, protein, fat and fibre in each smoothie advising you of the total calories and how many of your 5-a-day it uses, with tips too for each drink.If you've only got specific fruit vegetables available if you refer to the index it will direct you to the pages you'll find relevant recipes to use up your ingredients available.This is a great buy.

I bought this book off of Amazon for info and recipes as I have no idea how to combine ingredients to drink....to eat yes .. but drink noI love it because:1. It was written by a health professional in the nhs2. Gots loads of pics of the finished, smoothie, the ingredients and the benefits of the ingredients3. Got the nutritional content such as Calories, Fibre, Carbs of each finished smoothie as per the recipe and also a section of the calories on each ingredient if you wanted to make up your own concoction4. Reduced price. I paid £6.995. Nice and compact...looks good on the kitchen counter or can fit in my handbag6. All the ingredients are readily available in any supermarket. ..I don't have to go to a specialist shop to get stuff7. You can search for a recipe by any ingredient. For example I had some bananas that needed using up before they went off and I was able to find all the recipes that contained bananas via the index at the back of the book8. Good variety of recipes. I have not got bored as yet in the 2 months that I have been using the book. I have one smoothie a day for breakfast.9. The recipes makes it easier to consume at least 5 portions of fruit and or veg a day as lots are blitz together

A good book, lots of detail on all ingredients and some excellent recipes included. Caters to those looking for reducing calorie intake, increasing fiber in your diet or wanting to try something that little bit different.Only negative would be that this book seems to peddle another book referring to the 5:2 diet and my personal thoughts would be to include space next to recipes so that people could write their thoughts on the flavors once they had tried an option.

I don't usually give 5 stars as nothing is perfect, but this little book deserves it.A very nice pocket A5 size book, with loads of good information, well presented & thought out. A good book for beginners, 80 recipes to start you off and a well laid out section covering cereals, fruit, both dried & fresh, nuts, seeds and pulses together with calorific info. to enable you to go further if required.Well done the Authors!!!

it good because it has lots of nutritional recipes. Pictures are good. gives good clear information. help you know what mixes well together.

Awesome advice plenty of picture ideas

Little A5 sized 'book'. Bought it as a gift but it looks more like something you'd get free if you buy a posh blender. Recipes look nice though

Good buy easy to use with pictures
