I love the smoothie recipes

I love the smoothie recipes. They are so fresh and I am not the best at creating my own smoothies so I really appreciate the time and effort that went into the recipes.

You can have a cool time with Pauline Harding's book, "Chilled Out Fruit Smoothie Recipes." I do, but I admit I'm hooked on smoothies. I want to hurry to the kitchen and get out my blender every time I look through this new ebook. Pauline's recipes are creative and tweaked with just the right ingredients to bring out the unique flavors of the fruits. She apparently knows a lot about those seasoners that, with just a "few drops" or just a pinch, can bring out the best in a cold fruit drink. These smoothies are not just tasty; they're good for us, and Pauline tells us about their nutritional value. They refresh and give a quick healthy pickup. Pauline gives some helpful general tips for blending her fruit treats perfectly. We all have our favorite flavors, of course, but the very first recipe just grabs me - pineapple, passionfruit and pear cold, cold, cold. I love it. And there is the honeydew melon and mint, the raspberry rum, and the watermelon wonder. That's right for me. I'm here in Louisiana where a beautiful crop of watermelons is just coming in. I think almost everybody can find recipes in this book that they will enjoy. I'd like to try the vegan fruit smoothie then work my way through the rest of these original treats over the hot months ahead. This is going to be a cool summer for me - and then a scrumptious winter. Smoothies are always yummy. I heartily recommend this book. And the price is right. You'll get way more than your money's worth.

I bought this book after getting home from a cruise and wanting to slim down and get healthy. My husband and I also immediately bought a Ninja (72 oz) and stocked up on some of the more obscure ingredients on amazon mentioned in the book (Mag07, Cacao, Chia Seeds, Coconut Oil, Goji Berries, Raw Protein). I started using the Yogi Detox Tea in the AM and we replace breakfast and lunch with a Green smoothie and snack on only fruit, veggies, boiled eggs, and unsalted nuts during the day. Then we have a healthy dinner. My husband and I love it! I feel better. I haven't had bread or coffee in almost 2 weeks (I'm already allergic to dairy so giving that up was easy).

The smoothies are easy to make and the recipes are great.

Let me start by saying I am 44 years old and a stay at home mother of 4.  I have been making smoothies for 3 months now for the entire family.  My kids love how I can incorporate fruit and veggies into one smoothie and it still tastes sweet and delicious.  I was very excited to read the Green Smoothie Magic book.  This book is very well written with wonderful explanations as to why smoothies are so fabulous for your body both inside and out!  I love how she goes into detail about what kind of blender you should get and why and makes it clear as to why smoothies are better for you than juicing (which seems to be popular at this time).  I am so excited to try all the recipes as I am getting bored with my Vitamix recipe book.  The only thing I wish Gabrielle would have discussed more of in her book is why protien's are not important.  I have always thought/believed that you need some milk/yogurt/cottage cheese or the like in your smoothie to make your smoothie a well balanced meal.  Maybe I missed that somewhere in the meat of the book. All in all, I would highly recommend to my friends and family!

Thanks to Julie's book, I'm now obsessed with superfood smoothies! When I first looked at the recipes, I was a little intimidated by the ingredients because I'm relatively new to smoothies. But I discovered that this is not just a recipe book. She gives such great information about the top superfoods - benefits, how to use them, how to buy them and what to substitute. I've made about ten recipes so far, and the have all been good. Not all great or for everyone's taste, but I'm having a blast exploring new combinations.

I did have to purchase most of the superfoods, but I consider it an investment in my health. Some of them are a bit pricy, but they are not hard to find. I bought everything from either Costco or ordered Navitas Naturals from amazon. I started with smaller quantities to see what I like and how quickly I use them. With Julie's descriptions, I feel better spending the money knowing exactly what I am buying and how I'm going to use it. Otherwise, I would not typically pick these items out at a health food store. I HATE to cook and this book has motivated me to spend more time in the kitchen than I EVER have. Maybe I'll try Superfood Kitchen next!

i bought this book when it was only $0.99. well worth it. some books for the same price will only have 20 pages and this one was packed with good information. I love making smoothies and my favorite recipe by far has to be the BERRY BLAST SMOOTHIE, and I haven't tried the Strawberry and yogurt smoothie but it is definitely next on my list. Buy this book if looking for good smoothie recipes at a good price.

This is a great recipe book. I really like the author's style too. I am a big fan of breakfasts, but I wasn't always like that. I love some of the neat twists she put on some of these recipes. I never thought about putting peanut butter in a smoothie but that is absolutely delicious!

Now there is no excuse to skip breakfast! Even if you are not a vegetarian, this recipe book is perfect for anyone wanting to start their day with a healthy meal.

I am very excited about this cookbook. I have a hard time getting enough protein in my diet. I am not a big meat eater and am lactose intolerant. I do not like drinking shakes. They do not seem like a meal to me. I can't wait to try many of these recipes.  They are easy to follow and most of the ingredients are already in my kitchen.  All I need is the protein powder.  I can't wait to try the peanut bread pudding recipe. I will be substituting rice or almond milk instead of cows milk.  I really like the fact that each recipe has the amount of calories, grams of fat, carbs and fiber and the amount of protein for each recipe.  There are also many recipes for breakfast foods.  This is the hardest meal of the day for me because I am not very hungry in the morning and like to skip it.

I love smoothies of all sorts for the most part, I tend to drink more green smoothies when i feel i need to "detox" and avoid whole food. I was excited about this book to give me more options and choices and diversity when making my green smoothies. The recipes are obvious and easy to follow. I tried a few and they were great and ok.

Overall great book and recipes, i was given this at a discounted rate for my honest opinion.

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

If you're trying to live a healthier life, lose weight, detox, etc., this would be a great book for you to pick up. Not only does it give tons of awesome-sounding recipes for smoothies, but it also provides a great deal of information regarding just why these smoothies are so helpful, what the ingredients do for your health and well-being, and why just eating healthier in general will help you in the long run.

I have not tried any of these recipes because I don't have a blender (sadly), but I will be getting one ASAP so I can!

5 stars, can't wait to try them =)

I am not a big smoothie fan and never really drank them much, except the morning fruit/veggie mix I would make in my VitaMix but it always tasted the same. If you want to start healthier or just looking for 365 different smoothies, I highly recommend this book. I haven't made one that I haven't loved or at least really liked.
I find myself looking forward to making one each day and have a hard time deciding which one to have.
I most definitely would recommend this to anyone who wants to have smoothies or just wants to have some recipes.
