5.0 out of 5 stars A BRILLIANT INVESTMENT

Quite a few reviewers were negative about the amount of ingredients that you need to get started. I decided to get it anyway. I am SO glad I did! I am having such fun making smoothies, and they are so tasty! My husband is delighted with my new hobby and we are both getting the benefit of the high nutritional value of the mixed ingredients in a very palatable way. The information at the beginning of the book is excellent. I have learned a lot about ingredients I hadn't even heard of, such as camu and acai and have invested in buying not just these ingredients but a range of other ingredients, such as cacao nibs and powder, hemp seeds, flaxseeds, chopped dates, etc. I have bought in bulk, mainly organic, from an online company, and it works out far cheaper than buying in the supermarkets or health food shops. Yes, the initial cost mounts up, but it is so worth it and the ingredients will last. (I bought some Kilner jars to store the products in.) I bought a cheap grinder from Bolo and am grinding the chia seeds, flaxseeds and hemp seeds. I am also making my own almond milk (so easy) and coconut milk/water, ingredients required for some of the smoothies. I have made several of the smoothies, in the short time I have had the book, and have made some adaptations here and there. So far so good. The book is inspirational and the high nutritional value of the smoothies ensures that they not only taste good, but they do you good too.
5.0 out of 5 stars High quality book. Makes for a great gift.
I bought this as a gift to accompany smoothie maker. The book is a physically very good quality. The photos are stunning and the recipes, from what I hear, are a nice mix.
4.0 out of 5 stars The additional supplements to buy can be hard to find and Amazon has been great for this
I've nearly made every single smoothie in this book. They're delicious, sometimes unusual. The additional supplements to buy can be hard to find and Bolo has been great for this. These supplements are an investment and they'll last you a while so not like you have to keep buying them regularly. I am still slightly sceptical that some of the superfood benefit statements made generally are actually true. Still, as a smoothie fan, this is a fantastic book and highly recommended.
5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly tasty and healthy!!
I love this book so much!! There is so much good info at the beginning to help you to get into the swing of how to go about making superfood smoothies and what all the different veg, fruit and powders have to offer!I have been using the book as part of a healthy lifestyle and vegan plant-based diet and I have tried at-least 12 of the recipes! I have to say I’m always a little sceptical when authors make healthy versions of classic recipes but honestly the “Key Lime Pie” smoothie was incredibly similar to the real thing! The cacao smoothies have been hitting the spot whenever I feel like chocolate and I am a big fan of the “Mint Choc-Chip” smoothie! You will not regret buying this book! I have been having so much fun with it! Some people have said it’s hard to get all the ingredients but I found most things locally in supermarkets and health food shops and then a couple things online! She uses a lot of common ingredients like fruits, veg and nuts so you can always skip something that you don’t have too! I have found my favourite powders to be cacao powder and maqui berry powder for their taste! I also think the hemp powder doesn’t taste bad at all and is packed with protein and goodness!Hope you enjoy the book as much as I have!
3.0 out of 5 stars Very American but interesting
I love juicing and making Smoothies and am a Jason Vale devotee - so I am always on the look out for a new juicing/smoothie book. This book looks great - the photography is very appealing, colourful and appetising. The begining of the book was very informative and helpful from subjects such as how to 'build' your smoothie in the blender, to super food staples and a key to the benifts of the particular recipie such as detox, bone strength or heart health.The recipies can be a little left of centre however (Chocolate and Cauliflower anyone?) Also, I found I had never heard of some of the ingeridents. For example Sea Buckthorn Juice, Lucuma Powder, Mulberries, Maqui - all of which I am sure I can source, but it makes the cost, and the bother, start to increase. Saying that - there are some very nice recipies in the book that are more than accesible and appetising, for example -1. Peaches and Cream2. Grapefruit Pomegranate3. Strawberry Cucumber4. Mango Chilli5. Pineapple Watercress6. Green Protien7. Lemon Lime8. Pumpkin Pie9. Creamy Orange10. Chocolate Hazelnut....and even a smoothie for Dog's!The author finishes by including a substitution chart (Mulberries = Raisins), Making your own nut and seed milks, weights and measure conversion chart and a smoothie by benifit section.As per some of my previous reviews, this is one for people who are already well into their healthy eating journey and who are prepared to go the extra mile and have the resources to locate less common ingredients. If you are just starting out with superfoods and juicing I would recomend starting with Jason Vale or Joe Cross.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift
Bought as a Christmas gift for my mum who recently bought herself a smoothie maker. This book is jam packed with recipes to make fun and healthy smoothies and juices. I will update further after she has received the gift :)
5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious and healthy!
I love this gorgeous book! So many delicious and healthy smoothie ideas that I've enjoyed and also been able to share with my clients as a nutrition coach; one of them has managed to kick a coffee addiction thanks to the maca oat smoothie! It's a beautifully presented book and a great basis from which to create your own recipes. Recommended.

Lecker!
Schöne, gut nachzumachende Rezepte. Allerdings sind die Mengenangaben immer für zwei.
Delicious
Just happy to have ideas for smoothies
My new favorite recipe book
In the 2-3 months I've had it, this book has provided me with so much emotional - and physical - fulfillment! As a single person with not much in the way of an appetite and limited energy, you quickly discover that making standard meals just doesn't make sense in terms of the energy and effort (and then you end up eating the same leftovers for days!) It turns out that smoothies are one of the few things in this world that actually make more sense to prepare when you're single- a blender full of smoothie doesn't go far for a family of four, but it's perfect for a single smoothie-loving person! And... smoothies just make me happy! There's something very self-nurturing about sitting down with a fancy glass full of frozen healthy goodness.I have seen some people here say this isn't the best book for a beginner, but I'd have to disagree. I was a complete beginner to making smoothies when I bought this book, and after just a few months of smoothie making, I've easily learned enough from Morris to craft and adapt my own recipes. Some say the ingredients are hard to find, but if you have the internet and know how to use a search engine, you can find ingredients easily enough. It is true that many of the ingredients Morris recommends are expensive (maca and maqui powders, I'm looking at you), but she includes a substitution table near the back of the book so (for example) if you can't afford hemp seeds or just don't want to wait for them to ship across the country, you can use sunflower seeds from your local supermarket instead.Some of the recipes in the book are better than others. For example, Rhubarb Mint fell flat for me, as I felt like the dates and the orange juice overwhelmed the more delicate flavors of the rhubarb and mint, and I also felt that the date and orange flavors just didn't go well together. But for every one recipe I found that was only okay, there are about 3-4 others that are outstanding. Blueberry Maqui may be the best smoothie I've ever had in my entire life, and I've hunted far and wide for good "smoothie bars". (And I even omitted the maqui powder from that recipe, because I am still in the process of acquiring some of the more exotic ingredients!) Mayan Chocolate (a spicy cacao blend) was so outstanding I was moved to make a second batch the next day, because I couldn't stop thinking that night about how wonderful it had been the first time around. Sweet Pea was marvelously, vibrantly green, although I added three times as much parsley as the recipe called for, because after tasting it I just wanted more parsley flavor.That's actually one of the strengths of the book- Morris encourages readers to cast aside perfectionism and strict adherence to recipes with her "It's a smoothie, not a science" mantra. I have usually been the sort of person to stick closely to recipes. (Some might say "stick closely" would be an understatement.) With this book, I have felt so free to substitute, adapt recipes to my own personal taste, and just generally say to myself, "ah, that's close enough." It's been delightful to discover that, the vast majority of the time, what I make tastes wonderful regardless. It's rare that something as basic as a cookbook can free a person to really step outside of their comfort zone and grow new confidence.Being a perfectionist, there are still one or two small ways I think the book could be improved. Morris is thoughtful enough to include a recipe for a dog smoothie, but there is no cat smoothie recipe. My cat tries to steal my smoothies all the time (just today I turned my back on a citrus smoothie for a moment only to find him up on the counter, his face shoved into my glass as he eagerly licked up the citrus flavors that the internet swears repel all cats. Yeah, not mine.) I would really love to be able to share some of my smoothies with him without having to look up each ingredient's "cat-safety" on the internet first. Even a table in the back listing which ingredients are and are not toxic to cats would have been greatly appreciated. Also, while I love the convenient little icons next to each recipe indicating that a particular smoothie is supportive of cardiovascular health or bone health or beauty or detoxification, the academic in me is murmuring "citation needed." There is a basic list of references in the back of the book, but it is not clear which parts of this book are connected to which sources Morris references. However, this is a recipe book, not an academic paper, and as such these drawbacks are quite minor.Other good points... The majority of the recipes are very tasty and healthy (I've never eaten so many leafy greens per week in my life). The protein smoothies I've made (there's a good mix of different smoothie "genres" represented here) really are as filling as a standard meal would be. No nonfiction book is complete without good indexes, and this one has two, both helpful.Overall, this is a wonderful book, accessible to beginners, with beautiful colorful pictures that are likely to inspire readers to make their own "superfood smoothies."
Teoría interessante, pero recetas difíciles
Compré este libro en Bolo.es después de haber leído muchas opiniones en Bolo.com.Lo que más me gustó fue la teoría. La autora explica muy bien la teoría de los super alimentos y he aprendido muchísimo, sin embargo, la teoría no lo es todo, las recetas de smoothies también son muy buenas, me encantan, aunque creo que hay que tener cuidado porque las medidas están en tazas (US) y hay varios ingredientes que son difíciles de encontrar o son demasiado costosos.En Barcelona hay tiendas ecológicas pero aún así es bastante complicado encontrar ciertas cosas, otras simplemente no hay, quizá en Estados Unidos sea más sencillo.En fin, decir que me han encantado las recetas de smoothie, yo las hago a diario. Os lo recomiendo aunque necesitaréis dinero para comprar los ingredientes.
