In Super Smoothies: Reference to Go, we’ve taken advantage of recent nutritional research to create smoothies that may help you sleep, ward off a cold, and calm an upset stomach. A registered dietitian has analyzed every recipe in this book and offered advice on how to combine ingredients to get the maximum benefit from each healthy, flavorful drink. Our smoothies can fuel a workout, freshen your breath, and even help enhance your love life. The 50 smoothie recipes in this book were developed with the well-being of the entire family in mind. Pregnant women, the weight conscious, and even teething babies can benefit from the nutritionally enhanced fresh-fruit blends included here.

Though all the smoothies in this book were developed with the goal of promoting good health, the most important requirement we had for every recipe was that it taste great. No smoothie, no matter how healthy, will do much good if you don’t want to drink it. In this book, flavor always comes first. We left out taste- and texture-altering nutritional supplements of dubious value and relied instead on peak-of-the-season produce and other flavorful ingredients. You’ll find recipes for 50 absolutely irresistible smoothies that will nourish your mind, body, and soul. So plug in your blender and drink to your health. Super Smoothies are here.
