5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome smoothie book, August 18, 2001

By	JRK "jkunzvt" (VERMONT) - See all my reviews

My situation: I received a brand new blender and I had very few good recipes. My first smoothie book was decent, it was Super Smoothies: 50 Recipes for Health and Energy ISBN 081182540X. I was a little disappointed with this book. I knew from the title it would only have 50 recipes, but the money I was paying for this book really wasn't going towards recipes, but to the fancy design of the book and tons of pictures of the smoothies.

I decided for my second smoothie book, I was doing away with the pictures and going for as many recipes as possible. When I stumbled across this book for about half the price and FIFTEEN TIMES the number of recipes (including shakes and frappes), I was in heaven.

All recipes include complete nutritional analysis (so you know how good or bad it is for you!). Drinks are divided into alphabetical listings. Here are a few samples of the drinks in this book: Pineapple-Mint Sour, Fuzzy Pink Splash, Kiwi Quencher, and Chocolate-Raspberry Shake. With some recipes books, I worry that I'll never make a good portion of the recipes within. With this book and 750 recipes, I know I'll never get to that point...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for me, April 10, 2008

By	Mom of 3 - See all my reviews

A lot of the drinks have odd names, they are listed alphabetically so if your looking for a smoothie you need to read each recipe and define which one is a smoothie, a shake, a frappe or a regular mixed drink. I was hoping to turn to the smoothie section and pick a recipe. Guess I'll look for another book and be more careful about the one I choose.

3.0 out of 5 stars Diappointed in Number of Quality Drinks, August 27, 2001

By	Vincent Galindo (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I purchased this book based on the number of recipes - wrong move! I found many of the recipes to be redundant in all the drink categories. And frankly, most just weren't that tasty. I don't know who Sally Ann Berk is, but it is evident that she isn't a chef. If volumes of marginal drinks are what you are looking for, perhaps you will find this appealing. However, you may want to save your money and buy a book with less recipes and more quality.
