Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
A basic smoothie contains three essential components: liquid, base, and the chill factor (ice, frozen fruit, or chilled liquid). The Pink Cooler (page 18) is a great example of a simple smoothie with just two ingredients. In this blend, watermelon provides the liquid and frozen strawberries combine with the melon to provide the base flavor as well as the chill factor.
step 1: start with a liquid
A 32-ounce (960ml; 2 servings) smoothie typically requires about 2 cups (480ml)
of liquid (choose one type or a combination of types, depending on your other ingredients). If your blend contains high-water-content foods like watermelon, cucumber, orange, or other types of melon, you may need little or no liquid.
step 2: choose your base
Add 2 to 3 cups (320 to 480g) of base ingredients to the liquid. Your base can be a single flavor or a combination of several ingredients.
step 3: get creamy or frosty
I think a creamy or frosty texture is a nonnegotiable element of a great smoothie. Select one item (or sometimes two) from the Cream list (page 10) in the quantities specified, then turn to The Smoothie Pantry on page 219 to choose complementary ingredients. If your base ingredients already deliver a creamy or frosty texture (for example, banana, mashed vegetables, or frozen fruits), you may not need to add anything from the Cream list.
step 4: go green
For maximum nutrition and to alkalize blends, I highly recommend adding some leafy greens. The greens section of The Smoothie Pantry will help you incorporate these with great success.
steps 5 and 6: boost your nutrition and add the magic
Boosters and what I call magic ingredients are optional, but they really increase the nutritional profile of any smoothie and amp up the wow factor. You could pick several items each from the Boosters and Magic lists (page 11) and get incredible results. Again, use The Smoothie Pantry as a guide for pairing flavors. Once you’ve tried the recipes in this book, and used the boosters and magic ingredients suggested, I bet they’ll become must-haves for you, too. After all, these aren’t six steps to basic smoothies—they’re six steps to spectacular smoothies.

Since I have trouble following anyone's directions, I use this beautiful book and app as a guide for amazing tasting, unique and very healthy smoothies - far from the strawberry/banana boringness I've made for our family in the past. The photos are gorgeous, the recipes ARE EASY - simply chuck in your blender and flip the switch, and they taste absolutely delicious! The "boosters" add a dimension you won't find in other, more common, read boring, smoothie books. Tess has seriously raised the bar on our smoothie and soup making so much so that even the pickiest of guest eaters to our home absolutely love our new blender creations! Don't be afraid to try these recipes and try the unique ingredients - you'll definitely be back at the store buying them again.

The book also contains lots of useful tips for preparing ingredients for your smoothies - soaking nuts, seeds, etc.
There is also a chapter devoted to superfoods. There you can find information concerning what they are, how to use them, and what benefits they have for your health.
I highly recommend this book, especially if you're a smoothie fan :)
