Tess Masters has a true gift to share with you in this book and on her gorgeous website: healthy blender recipes. This beautiful book has been a staple in our house, along with it's cousin, the app, since it first came out. 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.
