Overview
How do you get all five of your recommended servings of fruits and vegetables per day? And now, some experts are saying it’s not five, it’s nine! Who could possibly eat that much roughage? Or, how do you get the nutrients necessary to survive a serious illness when you can’t digest anything (or at least you feel like you can’t)? And, equally important, how do you make those nutrients taste good? Enter: the smoothie - the roughage, vitamin, probiotic powerhouse of foods! The one meal with all five of your five per day and you’re good to go. The Happy Granny Smoothie Book begins with a basic, user-friendly primer on nutrition and a smoothie How-To manual with tips on smoothie essentials like sweetening without sugar and creating the perfect texture. After the primer are recipes for smoothies and juices along with tips to get you started creating your own special blends. Every smoothie in this book has been developed by necessity with the highest-quality, organic foods. And every recipe has been perfected to be not just tolerable, but fun, delicious, and pleasurable to the drinker. Because - and let’s face it - the only way we’re going to keep at something is if it’s yummy. Otherwise, why write a book about smoothies?
Description

This book was born out of necessity. Well, necessities actually.  The first was how to get the nutrients necessary to survive a serious illness when you can’t digest anything. The second was just as important, perhaps more so: how do you make that food taste good?

The book begins with a basic, user-friendly primer on nutrition. Recipes to get you started creating smoothies and juices follow the primer.

Every smoothie in this book has been developed by necessity with the highest-quality, organic whole foods. And every recipe has been perfected to be not just tolerable, but fun, delicious, and pleasurable to the drinker. Because - and let’s face it - the only way we’re going to keep at something is if it’s yummy. Otherwise, why write a book about smoothies?
