Purchase options and add-ons
Smoothies are often touted as healthy snacks or quick meals. However, most smoothies are anything but. Blend together a banana, dates, more fruit, processed almond milk, maybe some protein powder, and a handful of kale, and you don’t have a healthy drink. You’ve got a sugar bomb with a few vitamins that tops 100 carbs and has preservatives and inflammatory ingredients to boot.
Smoothies can help you balance your weight and augment your nutrition, but they need to be made the right way. Protein Power Smoothies gives you the low-down on how to construct yummy yet healthy smoothies that are high in protein and low in carbohydrates.

Most informed people know the highest proteins are in meat, and no one is going to blend tuna fish or bison with kale to make a smoothie. I mean you could, but yuck!
Many vegetables and other non-meat foods are also packed with protein. Broccoli, beans, cabbage, cauliflower, oats, spirulina, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, peas, and so on. So when I read that every smoothie requires a protein powder, I felt like someone just pulled the wool over my eyes.
After reading the recipes, I became less than enthused to use the book. One, because you have to buy protein powder and that gets very expensive and confusing, Two, you don't need this book because anyone can come up with a good tasting high energy smoothie using your choice of chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla protein powder:
Step 1 - Pick a powder
Step 2 - Pick a vegetable
Step 3 - Pick a seed
BOOM, you have yourself a protein power smoothie.
None-the-less, it is a well written and informative book.
However, this really isn't that kind of book, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING.
The greatest strength of this book is its author. "Protein Power Smoothies" is written by an actual dietician, and her knowledge is proven beyond just the accolades stated in the "About the Author" section by the detail in the book, but instead shown through the actual science of the smoothies in the chapters that precede the recipes.
Yeah, this book doesn't just post some smoothie recipes with a dumb, long anecdote here and there and call it a day -- it's equal parts a recipe book and a piece of down-to-earth non-fiction.
Let me better explain what I mean.
Reading the opening chapters is like an easily understandable chemistry class/health class hybrid -- they are the meat-and-potatoes of the book (Or, since it's a smoothie, would it be the protein powder-and-monkfruit...? Eh, whatever -- still works!).
The best about this book is that it offers a concrete, full explanation of why many of the conventional smoothie recipes we think of are inherently flawed, and -- rather than shame the reader(s) who have fallen for those traps in the past -- informs them about how to make a better smoothie that will keep them fuller.
It's not a book that shames -- it's a book that informs, and that makes all of the difference.
Heather DiBiasi details why your body needs the elements of these smoothies that work alongside her template, and why other smoothies you might have tried have failed you in the past because they didn't implement them. By the end of the first half of the book, you're going to feel smarter than when you began, and that's going to make the smoothies in its latter half all the more enticing.
Look, it's around the New Years at the date I'm writing this review -- you might be one of those people looking for the kind of book I was talking about at the start. Now, if you want one that's actually legit and well-written, check this one out. If you're willing to read, listen, and put in a bit of hard work on your end, you'll get a lot out of it.
