Description : Smoothies can be very nutritious and they taste delicious but not all smoothies are low in calories or easy to integrate into a wealth loss program. Because "rabbit food" fatigue can sabotage your diet, chef Daisy Williams collected the 50 best recipes for smoothies that are lean, "clean" low-calorie, and very satisfying to create this low-calorie smoothie recipe book. Daisy knows that if you don't like it, you won't drink it, so she selected recipes that are as great tasting as they are nutritious. Starting with the basics, Daisy explains why smoothies are an important part of a healthy diet and then teaches readers how to create the perfect smoothie. Of course, the recipes are the main feature of this book and there's plenty of variety here. If you love kelp, spinach, and other veggies you will swear you've died and gone to veggie heaven but there's also plenty of temping recipes for picky eaters who shun vegetables. Many of the smoothies taste like refreshing juice drinks while others taste as thick and creamy as a fattening milkshake. Doesn't a raspberry banana smoothie made with raspberries, banana, and almonds sound dreamy? Veggie haters won't even taste the cup of spinach that's blended in--but it's in there, keeping them healthy and trim. For high-protein diet fans, there are 10 protein-packed recipes with delectable names like Figgy Green Monster Smoothie.

Description : Over 100 globally-inspired sweet and savory recipes made with one of the most probiotic-rich and nutrient-dense superfoods on the planet Derived from the Turkish word “keif” meaning “feeling good,” kefir is a tart, tangy cultured milk, low in sugar and lactose free, and an excellent source of protein, calcium, and B vitamins. Originating from a grain that dates back two thousand years to the Caucasus Mountains of Europe, it is also one of the healthiest natural foods available—scientifically shown to help boost immunity, improve gut health, build bone density, fight allergies, and aid the body’s natural detoxification. In 1986, ten years after they emigrated from Kiev, Michael and Ludmila Smolyansky introduced kefir to America. Today their children, Julie and Edward, lead Lifeway Foods Inc., the Smolyansky family company and the top-selling kefir brand in America. In The Kefir Cookbook, Julie shares her family’s abiding love of kefir through treasured family stories and innovative recipes. From Ludmila’s Borscht, a staple of life behind the Iron Curtain, to Nutella Smoothies, a homage to the Rome that welcomed them as refugees, and Kefir Jerk Chicken, a celebration of friendship experienced with her young daughters, these dishes showcase the versatility of this ancient healing food. While kefir can be drunk straight from the bottle, whipped into smoothies, or used in parfaits and smoothie bowls, Julie reveals in more than 100 recipes—including contributions by Christy Turlington Burns, Seamus Mullen, and Katrina Markoff—how it can also be blended with your favorite comfort foods to add tang, boost creaminess, and elevate their nutritional properties. Deeply personal, The Kefir Cookbook offers unique spins on classic recipes, while introducing contemporary flavors and textures to inspire you in the kitchen every day....
