 My favorite Smoothie book, 2007-01-08
This book is full of healthy smoothies. If you stick to the recommended serving size ("Small" in a Smoothie bar setting), they're only about 100-120 calories each. I generally drink a "double", but that still keeps them all under 250 calories. Once you've tried a dozen or so, you get the feel of ingredients and quantities on your own.
A previous reviewer didn't like the idea of Splenda being added to some recipes, or the occasional use of Diet Mountain Dew. Splenda is an artificial sweetener derived from sugar and has passed every test for safety in every country it has been introduced. As for Diet Mountain Dew, it has no caffeine west of the Mississippi River where this author lives. East of the Mississippi, I would substitute a Diet Sprite or Fresca-type soda. Generally, the amount of this soda is 2 to 4 ounces, so I don't see there's anything to be squeamish about anyway.
I have several smoothie books and find a far greater satisfaction rate with these recipes than any other.

 Healthy and Nutritious???, 2006-03-06
When you use Diet Mountain Dew in a majority of the recipes, and plenty of them sprinkled with Splenda? Sugar free Maple Syrup?
There are so many natural, healthy ingredients to use for smoothie and if you want sweetness so many fruit to add into your blender, why do you need to throw these junk in!! There aren't many other ways to make your smoothie any more unhealthy and nutritionally depleted! Please, do yourself a flavor, do your blender justice, get another cookbook that improves your health!
