4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but. . . ., July 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Ultimate Smoothies: Delicious Recipes for Over 125 of the Best Smoothies, Freezes, and Blasts (Paperback)

I love this book, such a wide variety of smoothies to choose from. The author was very creative with the names for each drink. The ingrediants are very simple and easy to find. I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and every ingrediant is stocked all year round. My only complaint is that the book contains no pictures at all. Only the cover has a picture of a smoothie. Basically, the book is great. Try the Ultimate Fuzzy Nazel, yum!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious drinks... entertaining book..., March 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Ultimate Smoothies: Delicious Recipes for Over 125 of the Best Smoothies, Freezes, and Blasts (Paperback)

It's difficult to choose from the many smoothies books out there, but this one is far more thorough and entertaining than any of the others I've looked at. With over 125 recipes, you never get tired of drinking smoothies -- and they're not only delicious but also good for you -- a winning combination! As well, the author's culinary know-how is matched only by the wit she displays in her clever recipe titles. I have several books by Ms. Rodnitzky and have loved every one of them -- she always has an interesting twist on the latest trends in diet and health. I'm looking forward to whatever she's cooking up next!

This review is from: Ultimate Smoothies: Delicious Recipes for Over 125 of the Best Smoothies, Freezes, and Blasts (Paperback)

This is a fantastic smoothie recipes book.The ingredients are tasty and easy to find.I have a young son and he enjoys them too.I like that the ingredients are common and healthy-I don't like giving any unfamiliar "new agey",miracle things to my child and this book stayed away from that. A very nice addition to my library.
