The 21-Day Healthy Smoothie Plan: Invigorating Smoothies & Daily Support for Wellness & Weight Loss Paperback – April 1, 2015

This ebook is very well put together. Easy to follow and understand. It starts off by giving you reasons to try the smoothie diet, highlighting the benefits of drinking smoothies. It gives readers great tips on how to make smoothies, recommendations, and options. I'm a smoothie drinker and I'm amazed at all the various and very interesting types of smoothies you can make. The step-by-step guide is easy to follow and understand. It starts you off with a 3-day detox with suggested meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as snacks. If you've never done a 3-day detox, you'll need to understand the process that your body goes through and the changes that are going on so that you're body can eliminate toxins. In most cases, there are side-effects. I love how this book addresses those side-effects and gives readers recommendations on how to remedy those side-effects, such as headaches, managing hunger, etc. Once you've pass the detox stage, it goes into the 21-day smoothie plan. The book provides a weekly grocery list, and day-to-day guide on how to prepare the smoothies, along with snacks and meals throughout the day. After the end of each week, there is a weekly wrap-up, with encouraging and motivational quotes as well as a notes page for the reader to jot down any thoughts or ideas. The great thing about the weekly plans in this book is that at the beginning of each week, it gives you a snapshot of what to expect so that you are ready and prepared. Amazingly, this book is not just about smoothie recipes. It also provides great recipes for various, nutritious salads. Exercise is also always encouraged as well and stresses the importance of physical activity. I received this book to review. As a product reviewer and tester, my reviews are solely based on my own experience and opinion of the product. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to start a diet but is unsure of the type of diet. It has many, wonderful healthy recipes and provides and extensive list of foods to help readers prepare. It's much cheaper than going to a smoothie shop. It's a great book for those looking to get healthy and fit while on a budget.

What I love most about this book is that it is more than just recipes—I wasn't really expecting that. Being that I have a sincere love of learning and smoothies, I appreciated the additional information. There are lots of excellent tips in here for those of you looking to improve your health and find recipes that are just as delicious as they are healthy.The one thing that really stood out to me was the mention of drinking smoothies for breakfast. I am not a breakfast-kind-of-girl. I don't have much of an appetite in the mornings. With breakfast being the most important meal of the day, I find myself sluggish by lunchtime, so I started blending smoothies for breakfast. I cannot explain how much this has improved my overall mood and energy levels in the morning. It's SO much easier to drink something than to scarf down a large breakfast—and still get the nutrients my body needs.The Dandelion Green Smoothie freaked me out a little bit. Dandelion greens, to me, are quite bitter. However, with the addition of the other sweeter ingredients, it really transforms it into something pretty darn delicious. I highly recommend trying it if you haven't already! It is actually my favorite morning smoothie.Overall, I do recommend this book for smoothie lovers and those looking to find new recipes and other helpful and inspiring information about them.* Product provided free of cost for an unbiased review.

This book is one of the better smoothie-style weight loss books on the market. A few years ago, when "juicing" became the hot weight loss option, I bought a $300 juicer and books to go along with it, and ultimately it was too hard to stick with. This book and method succeeds where that one failed. The book is very inspirational for the smoothie journey you are about to embark on, and it gives detailed information about why it's good for you, but where the book really excels is the easy-to-follow 21-day plan.The book suggests that you start with a 3-day cleanse, which is the toughest part. Three days of three smoothies a day, replacing all of your meals.I like the fact that it includes the 10 common detox symptoms and provides methods for dealing with them. My biggest symptom was the headaches.The 3-day detox was planned well though and I followed along with the book's recipes exactly, even using homeade kale chips as my nutritional snacks.The 21-day plan itself included shopping lists and prep instructions, as well as specific meal plans. Again, I followed the book exactly, using the pre-made plan. Each day consisted of a pre-planned smoothie and a salad. I enjoyed a healthy breakfast each day, a sandwich\salad combo for lunch, and the smoothie for dinner.At the end of the 21-day plan I was left feeling better than ever. More importantly, this is the only weight loss plan I have ever been able to stick to and finish, which is in my opinion a great accomplishment made possible by how well put-together this plan was. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get healthier with an easy-to-follow lifestyle plan.I was provided this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
