Editorial Reviews
Review
“I have been referring parents of children with complex health concerns to Amy for more than 7 years now. She is very educated in the healing process, well-versed in holistic nutrition, and never fails to make hard lifestyle changes for these families smooth and seamless. This book is packed with well-thought-out superfood recipes and is a must-have for any family trying to find a fun way to include more dense nutrition into their diets.” ―Michelle Rowton, MSN, RNC-NIC, APRN, NNP-BC, C-NPT, CGP
“This is a must-have book for everyone, because there is nothing more fun than drinking our vegetables and fruits in a nutrient powerhouse smoothie that tastes incredible. Amy Gonzalez has put together a book full of delicious recipes and beautiful full-page color photos of her creations. Her concept of using only five ingredients makes the recipes very easy to follow using common ingredients in the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer. Amy spent months perfecting her recipes, and I can't wait to make them all.” ―Anne VanBeber, PhD, RD, LD, FAND, professor and chair, Department of Nutritional Sciences at Texas Christian University

This book turned out to be way better than I could have ever imagined. Missing out on my daily fiber is impossible if I drink one of these recipes. Also, the more I drink these recipes, the more I crave healthier foods throughout the day and the following day.
The negatives are not hugely negative. Sometimes the recipes are too thick or not sweet enough. Nothing a little water and maple syrup or honey can’t fix. The only other negative is the portion sizing. The recipes are all for two, but they are sized as meal replacements instead of meal compliments. If you are going to something with your smoothie and it’s just you, it’s probably a good to reduce everything by 75%.
Overall, an incredible book for effectively getting Americans to eat more fiber. Which if we’re being honest, is the likely cause of many of our health problems. I was not paid to write this review nor did I receive a free copy. I found this book on my own and now follow the author on all my social media to get more content from her!
