Description : In his previous books, such as his National Bestseller The Healthy Green Drink Diet, Jason Manheim taught us how to make delicious green smoothies, protein smoothies, and suprefood smoothies that work wonders for organ health, immune system strength, and weight loss. Now, Manheim recreates these healthy recipes specifically for the Nutribullet (although they will work in other blenders) and makes them available —for the first time —all in one place. While Manheim’s recipes are fantastic on their own, they can also easily be used as templates to expand your Nutribullet smoothie repertoire. Learn about adding healthy fats such as virgin olive oil, avocado, and coconut oil, and get advice on eliminating separation and foam. Everything you need to energize, look good, and feel great with healthy smoothies is packed within. Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Good Books and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of cookbooks, including books on juicing, grilling, baking, frying, home brewing and winemaking, slow cookers, and cast iron cooking. We’ve been successful with books on gluten-free cooking, vegetarian and vegan cooking, paleo, raw foods, and more. Our list includes French cooking, Swedish cooking, Austrian and German cooking, Cajun cooking, as well as books on jerky, canning and preserving, peanut butter, meatballs, oil and vinegar, bone broth, and more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home....

Description : Paleo Smoothies Recipe Book: Smoothies are not only a quick and easy way to eat a nutritious meal when you are busy, but they are also a tasty, refreshing drink. If you follow the Paleo diet, these healthy smoothie recipes will fit right into your lifestyle. We love making smoothies at our house because they are so flexible with ingredients. They can also save you money if you buy fruits or vegetables on special at the supermarket, or if you have an abundance from your own garden. Of course when people are on their way to work or kids are off to school, smoothies are the perfect quick to prepare choice. Paleo smoothies don't differ all that much from regular fruit or vegetable smoothies, but they probably differ the most when it comes to their dairy content. These Paleo smoothie recipes are all dairy free, instead some of the recipes using almond milk or coconut milk. If a sit down breakfast isn't working out at your house because of time restrictions, then healthy smoothies may be your answer. So whether it be breakfast, snack or a meal replacement smoothie recipe you are looking for, this book will definitely help you. I've also included smoothie making tips and a list of 30 super foods you can use in your Paleo smoothies and juices to give them extra nutrients and minerals. Smoothies are also wonderful if you are feeling unwell but need nutrition, or just plain aren't very hungry! Some people like smoothie fasting recipes that are in place of a balanced meal, including protein, as an all in one drink, while others drink smoothies for weight loss. Enjoy this Paleo Smoothies recipe book by Jane Burton!...
