Like the title indicates, this is the book for people who don't have time to wade through a hundred recipes in order to find a good, simple, and healthful smoothie. Just pick one, blend it, and be on your way.Turn to any page - it'll be good, it'll be healthful, and it you won't see added sugars or weird stuff you can't find at a conventional grocer. Just real ingredients a fifth-grader would recognize - blended in interesting combinations to make great smoothies. Each recipe is naturally low in calories and high in nutrition with nothing hidden or vague. You won't find a lot of filler narrative either. Just good recipes and some useful tips (like: how to peel a mango, or how to pick a good cantaloupe). The book is also a journey borne from necessity. When my wife (and co-author) underwent treatment for stage-3 breast cancer, the chemotherapy treatment took a toll on her taste buds (some chemotherapies make most everything taste awful). These smoothies were created to be a more tolerable way for her to get the natural nutrition everyone needs - especially those overcoming illness. From her battle came recipes which helped get her through a very rough time. Those recipes, now refined and organized, have been assembled so that others may enjoy.Finally, when this phase of my wife's cancer journey neared its end, we created two bonus "happy hour" treats too. Although we wouldn't necessarily call them healthful, they are still made with real fruit and are far better than many alternatives you might find at happy hour....
