In a hammock, under a shady tree, with a cool smoothie . . .

This book is for all of you who like to get outside on a warm summer afternoon, or watch the sunset at 9pm in early August - yes, it's an outdoor type of book. Get your blender out, try a few recipes and then run (don't walk) out of the house and into the fresh air. Sipping a refreshing rasberry smoothie, or a more exotic pineapple 'tropical' smoothie on a summer day is heaven. There are a lot of smoothie books on the market right now, but - as far as I know - this is the only one with recipes designed expressly for the lazy days of summer. I'm waiting with baited breath for winter smoothies, because, after all, it's just around the corner!

Am I glad I bought this smoothie book!

This is one of the best smoothie books I have seen. I use the recipes so often, the pages are getting worn. I'm the type of person who gets bored very easily and the recipes in this book have been a great way to add some novelty to my routine, which usually includes at least one smoothie each day. The smoothie recipes vary from very simple to a little exotic, and I can choose either type depending on my mood. The recipes are all very clearly written, and as an added bonus there's even some humor inserted in most of the descriptions. Between reading the recipes and then enjoying the final product, it really makes my day.
