smoothie recipes

The Blender Girl: Super-Easy, Super-Healthy Meals, Snacks, Desserts, and Drinks–100 Gluten-Free, Vegan Recipes! (Amazon link) is currently the number 1 bestseller in blender recipes on Amazon and is receiving rave reviews.

Here comes another one!

As I’ve said 1,000,001 times, I collect cookbooks – they’re an obsession of mine. I don’t know where the fixation came from, but since my first cookbook (I was 16 at the time)  to my most recent cookbook (never you mind about the age..), I treat each like any collector treats their individual prizes… like treasure.  Someone once asked if I sell my cookbooks after I’ve reviewed or read them. I said… well, never you mind about that, too.

The Blender Girl is the most recent prized addition to my cookbook collection.  It’s full of gluten free and healthy recipes and I can’t wait to try each one.   Although the gorgeous author is on the cover drinking a smoothie, this cookbook is more than just smoothie recipes.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m ALL about smoothie recipes and the ones in this collection are fantastic – but I do love the fact that The Blender Girl (Amazon link) has a wide variety of recipes. Below are just a few:

• Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake (shake)
• Pineapple Salsa (smoothie)
• Artichoke and White Bean Dip
• Incredibly Edible Edamame Dip
• Onion and Herb Socca
• French Dressing
• Greek Salad/Dressing
• Creamy Cauliflower (soup)
• Thyme for Corn Chowder
• Pesto
• Chili
• Pizza/Pizza Sauce
• Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff
• Key Lime Pudding
• Orange Dreamsicles
• Mint Chip Ice Cream
• Sugar-Free No Pumpkin Pie
• Healthy Butter
• Many, many, many more!

If you’re committed to healthier eating, this honestly should be the next cookbook you buy. In addition to the wonderful recipes, you’ll learn the many benefits of eating a more wholesome diet. You’ll also learn all about  soaking, sprouting, and dehydrating; proper food combining; and eating raw, probiotic-rich, and alkaline ingredients. Fortunately, it’s all in a very easy to understand format.  You don’t need a dietitian’s degree or nutritionist’s experience.

You just need a blender!

This is a beautiful, very detailed, and reader-friendly cookbook that’ll help get you on your way to cleaner, healthier eating. See The Blender Girl: Super-Easy, Super-Healthy Meals, Snacks, Desserts, and Drinks–100 Gluten-Free, Vegan Recipes! (Amazon link) for more information. This book is also available on Kindle.
