My almost one year old son loves most books but this is definitely his favourite. We read it to him most mornings and he gets so excited when we pick it up. The flaps to lift, the fluffy chicks etc. make it fun and interactive. It's a beautiful book.

WARNING: This "cookbook" does not have "recipes." All it does is list some fruits and juices under generic smoothie names. It gives you some measurements and leaves the rest for you to do. There is a page or two showing you the generalized smoothie making process at the beginning, but there is NO substantial "cookbook" fare. But I mean... what else can you expect from a smoothie book? Nonetheless I was very disappointed with it.

This book is one of the best I have seen for simplicity matched with ultimate flavor. Using ingredients that I can find in the VERY small town I live in, I can make treats that please everyone in the family, including a very picky 3 year old who won't eat fruit otherwise. His favorite is the Peanut Butter Banana and after tasting it, it's very hard to believe there are only 3 ingredients. The most exotic item in the book is coconut milk and that's even available here in the middle of nowhere. Enjoy this book with or without kids. I am buying my second copy today to give to a friend!

We love smoothies in my house, and after I bought this book, I made a trip to the grocery store to stock up on fruits and juices. I spent a couple of hours that evening peeling and chopping fruit for the freezer, and then I was ready to go! We have since enjoyed yummy Mango and Pineapple-Papaya Smoothies, and are looking forward to Strawberry-Mango and Strawberry-Banana Smoothies, as well as a host of others. Although I have a couple of other books on smoothies, this one contains the easiest recipes by far. In fact, I sent a copy to a young friend (age 11) to help introduce her to the kitchen, and she loves it, too!
