Rating: - Delicious treats
I liked the way the contents of the book was laid out, although the instructions where very detailed, they are written in way easy to understand and follow. The book not only give me the recipe but also the amount of calories and fat per serving which was a useful aid. The recipes were easy to follow and to make. I would recommend it
Rating: - Bad binding, waste of money
This book is cheaply bound. You can barely even read the pages it is so bad. Is it too much to ask to make it possible to read it? Every time I try to open it enough so it stays open, I see the book ripping. Bear in mind, I have thousands of books, so for this to irritate me, it must be pretty bad.

Most of the recipes have either milk, ice cream or yoghurt ... Read More

There are a few things that concerned me. First of all,

Some of the garnishments were silly. I'd like to see anyone try to balance them on ... Read More
Rating: - Best of the Little Books on Smoothies
`Ultimate Smoothies' by Donna Pliner Rodnitsky and `The Best 50 Smoothies' by Joanna White are the fourth and fifth smoothies books I am reviewing and it is appropriate to review them together and not review them in the same context as the first three, `The Smoothies Bible' by Pat Crocker, `The Ultimate Smoothies Book' by Cherie Calbom, and `Smoothies for Life' by Daniella Chace and Maureen B. Keane in that these two little books do not profess to be a comprehensive work on smoothies. They just profess to be little books on `the best' recipes.
It is painfully obvious from the outset that ... Read More
Rating: - Great ideas
All sorts of fruit smoothies - no vegetables ones in here. Some have an alcohol kick but most are just fruits. Calorie/vitamin info is provided for each recipe and you can make them vegan by using soymilk instead or regular milk/icecream.
