From the Author

Why a book about smoothies?

Juicing books currently on the market do not provide "professional" smoothie recipes nor, do they provide a historical view of the "smoothie". They word smoothie can mean anything. The book contains a smoothie ranking system (see Chapter 2) that defines and ranks the different kinds of smoothies.

The juice/smoothie industry is growing at a steady rate. Smoothies aren’t a fad; they are solid trend. The juice and smoothie industry addresses consumers need for alternatives to fast food and is driven by customer demand for healthier meal alternatives. What is the staying power of smoothies and fresh squeezed juice?

Most cultures of the world recognize the virtues of juice. Therefore, the juice/smoothie concept has international appeal. The products sold have customer appeal and satisfy the need for a healthier alternative to conventional fast food. The products appeal to a large demographic span: From children to grandparents. The smoothie can positioned as a: Meal replacement, meal enhancement or a dessert. In simple terms, the juice/smoothie business is fun!

Hi my name is Trevor. I am a smoothie fanatic! I bet I have every smoothie book ever written in my collection. But, NONE compare to, Smoothies! The Original Smoothie Book - Recipes From the Pro's, by Dan Titus.

If you are looking for REAL smoothie recipes that are the kind made in REAL juice bars, I highly recommend this book. Mr. Titus not only includes industry recipes, he also includes a history of the juice and smoothie business.

Dan Titus, thank you for writing such a work of art!
