How many recipes are in the recipe book that comes with it? Is the recipe book useful and full of variety?

To be honest, I haven't used the recipe book. I mainly just use a frozen banana and perhaps throw in a strawberry. It is just a pamphlet, if I recall correctly. It is mainly to give you ideas and inspiration. I am sorry to say that I have misplaced it.

I feel you don't really need a recipe book. Once you find what will/will not work in the unit you're good to go.

Book is small and probably has a couple dozen of recipes. There is a good variety and you can get some good ideas of different flavor possibilities.

There are several recipes in the book...however, you will probably do as we have. You will find one that you really like and find yourself making that particular one

I bought this Vitamix and it did not come with a recipe book. After purchasing this I wish I had bought the one with more speed options. I think this is the bartender blender. I love it though. I use it almost daily.

There are a good many recipes in the book. It may be easier to just call their customer service and get another book. I have found them to be very reasonable to deal with.

This recipe book does not come with recipe cards. It is 8.5 x 11", so I chose a stationary/printer paper that I liked that coordinated with my cookbook. I have found it much easier to type up and print out recipes on paper versus trying to run card stock through the printer because cards tend to jam the printer. You can purchase sheet protectors in bulk from Costo, Office Depot or Staples. Finding decorative paper and sheet protectors are also much more cost effective than purchasing these things from the cookbook companies.

I don't know how many uses there are in each bottle, but there are plenty. The recipes are on the bottles and I think they call for 2 Tbls. of the mix. They are good but there is no noticeable difference in the different bottles. We like all of it.

Yes, the one we ordered from Amazon had one book that was a combined manual and recipe book.

It does include a recipe booklet. The recipes range from page 42-63. The first 3 recipes are spice blends and later there are 4 pages for dressing recipes. All of the recipes they provide are very basic like boiled/scrambled eggs or baked chicken. I don't find these recipes very helpful because of how basic they are but cooking on the 21 Day Fix is very simple - you're really only restricted from using salt. Everything else like herbs and spices are all okay to use and seasoning blends are okay as long as they have no salt. Starting on page 60 they give recipes for allowed treats - these recipes are very useful to me as it not only shows what a "healthy treat" is but it also gives the portion size you're allowed. Pages 64-69 they give Shakeology recipes. We really dislike Shakeology so we use a whey protein mix from Costco...we haven't tried the shake recipes yet but we'd really like to some of them sound really good.

There is but only a couple of recipes. I found some good ones online. Awesome product, perfect for 2-4.

I would recommend using one of the recipes from the included cook book or use the one from Betty Crocker cook book. But you could use either mix in a pinch though neither will come out as well as using a recipe.

My favorite sources of recipes are (free) Email/RSS feed subscriptions & Twitter for: Kalyn's Kitchen; SkinnyTaste.com; Once Upon A Chef; Food52. After that, do a Google Search for specific food items, entrees, food ingredients and look at a few of the plethora of recipes that will be presented. 'Save As. . .' these recipes into a folder in your computer 'Documents' library. I also print the recipes I like. There is a 'print' button in most recipes. OR, for practical prints with pictures-- I copy/paste the text into a Word Document taking each little section of text at a time. Some pictures will print to a reasonable size but most will take up whole pages of paper. 'Copy' or 'Save As' them to a working folder in your 'Pictures' library; use a picture editor like "Paint.net" (free download for individuals/personal use) if you do not already have a suitable editor to resize them. I find most pics can be reduced 50% or sometimes to ~30.0 KB and the final print will be easy to put on the print-out page so you can have a picture. Double-spaced text (Ingredients?) can be single-spaced, other editing done, a By-Line added so you will know later where the recipe originated. Comments that add to the recipe can be included this way with much editing to eliminate waste space and items. Then 'Print' the final version you made in Word, 3-hole punch the page(s) and store in a 3-ring binder. Most of my personally edited recipe prints take up one or two pages (printed on both sides of a sheet of paper) complete with one or two pictures and the comments that provide tips & variations. Clear package-sealing tape can be used on one side of these multiple sheets to hold them together in the binder. Punch holes after taping. The tape also reinforces the edge for the holes if needed. If you do not have Word, "Open Office" is good and it is a free download; be very careful where you download it from.

No recipe book. Just a sheet on how to use. You can use whatever you want. I've used mine a few times and used pickles, jalapeo slices, caramelized onions, mushrooms, cheese and salsa. Anything you want to stuff it with is ok.

Yes, it does. The cookbook has about 20 recipes for omelettes, poached eggs, two styles of green beans, chili and some other desserts and savories.

I haven't opened it yet, but it comes with a sampler book. I went ahead and bought a 5 pack off books for it.

There is a cook book already loaded. You can make your own adding recipes or purchase other digital cookbooks. The home page provides new recipes all the time that you can save easily. I have found this software very easy and love finding lots of new recipes everyday. Easy to capture recipes from almost any source.

It has an instruction booklet but it is only the basics. There are many great books available and the internet is a fabulous source for recipes. Have fun!

No, it doesn't come with a recipe book, but recipes aren't hard to find on the internet.
