I got this one back in the summer and I LOVE IT! Sarita and I have been enjoying a different smoothie almost every day and so far they've all been fantastic. What a great way to get fruit and sometimes calcium in our diets. A bonus is they're actually healthy.
All the recipes are easy to make and call for just a few ingredients. Place
them in the blender and in seconds you have a delicious, nutritious, frothy
drink that sometimes has to be eaten with a spoon.
Some of the ones we've tried so far are Frosted Strawberry Smoothie,
Strawberry Colada Smoothie, Strawberry Romanoff Smoothie, Fuzzy Navel
Smoothie and Tri-Fruit Smoothie. I made so many this summer, too many to mention them all and I have so many more marked to try.
There is even a chapter called Blender Bonuses, with recipes for other things
you can make in the blender. Sarita made the Pimiento Cheddar Cheese Dip and
it was good but a bit more mayonnaise than we like. If we make it again we'll
just use less mayo.
Some of the smoothies we've made call for Diet Mt. Dew and since neither of us
care for Mt Dew we subbed diet 7 up instead and they were delicious. Some of
the smoothies call for yogurt, some skim or soy milk and some fat free ice
cream in addition to either fresh or frozen fruit.
If you like smoothies don't miss this book. I know this is one that won't
spend much time on the shelf here.
