Nice pictures and solid smoothies information. I've used some of these smoothies so far (I tend to stick with my favorites instead of experimenting) and I use them with the Ultimate Diet Guide The Ultimate Diet Guide - For Busy Women! No Starving, No Food Restrictions, No Gym Workouts Required! and I've been losing a ton of weight over the past 3 weeks combining that diet with 1-2 smoothies a day.

This deck is one of the most practical ways I've ever seen to get healthy...and enjoy it! I've been so excited ever since I got this deck to try a new one every day. The fact that each recipe is on a card proves very efficient: it is small enough to store in your kitchen without taking up space, and you can organize it so that your all your faves are right towards the front. The cards are catagorized to meet certain needs, and color coded. For example, there are recipes to boost you immune system, smoothies that are particularly suited for men and women, smoothies for kids and babies, etc. On the bottom of each card the nutrition values are broken down by gram (ie. how much protien, carbohydrate, etc. per serving) so you can be very intentional about your goals. Whether you're looking for a high protein breakfast , or something to help you relax and unwind at the end of the day, this deck allows you to get exactly what you want, when you want it. The cards themselves are thick and durable, and easy to wipe off if you get a little crazy. :)
My advice for getting the most out of this deck is to be adventurous. These recipes use a wide variety of ingredients, which keeps it interesting. Many ingredients can be frozen overnight, and the advance preparation is convenient if you're pressed for time when you are actually ready to make your smoothie. The only downside I can see to this is that there's not a lot of room to be spontaneous. Because there are so many ingredients and the freshness of those ingredients is a factor, you need to plan out your shopping trips accordingly. I don't typically have apricot nectar around, for example, or tofu, so I need to put a little effort into it. But, it's well worth it. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed in this purchase.

it's user friendly style, simple fruit/vegatable index, unusual smoothie ideas, and bright images motivate the reader to drink healthy.
