My boys and I have had a smoothie every morning for breakfast for the past two weeks--we're hooked! I'm a type 1 diabetic, and find that a smoothie like this works perfectly for a great meal replacement. They keep me satisfied until the next meal, and most importantly, they really taste great. The carb counts are accurate and my blood sugar remains stable after having one. My kids aren't on a restricted carb diet, but they love the taste too! If you're already a low-carb dieter, you'll most likely have all the ingredients in your pantry. Enjoy!

I love to have a smoothie for breakfast. I'm not a breakfast eater in general and I'm very tired of eggs, so I found this book to be very useful. I do replace most of the crystal lite drink mixes with kool-aid powder or extracts to minimize the amount of aspartame consumed, but they still taste great. This is not a book for people just starting out on a low carb diet, but its great for those who are steadily losing or who are maintaining their weight. Dana never disappoints us.

I highly recommend this book. I have tried most of the recipes so far and all are delicous, especially the chocolate raspberry smoothie and Eric's caramel-vanilla smoothie. I had to order some of the ingrediants on the internet, but I live in a very rural area, so others may find them more readily available.

These are so fun to make! There are a few ingrediants used in some of these you might not have laying around the house but they can easily be exchanged with something else.
Overall a great bunch of good for you smoothies

I purchased Dana Carpender's book 500 Low-Carb Recipes and was disappointed in the recipes and the ingredients. This book was no different. After reading the carb counts on her smoothies recipes as well as the ingredients she call for, they are not what I would consider low-carb.
