Very informative with lots of delicious recipes. I have been looking for more superfood smoothie options and this book is perfect! The recipes are also easy to follow and leave lots of options for changing up the recipes if you don't have (or don't like) certain ingredients. I also love the way the chapters are set up. It's very easy to find exactly what you're looking for, especially if you're reading this digitally.

Great book! Will definitely be using these recipes in the future! Thanks to NetGalley and Callisto Media for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

Tons of options, broken down into chapters based on the benefits of the smoothies (anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, etc.). The wide variety of ingredients means there's something that everyone will like in here. I'm looking forward to trying a bunch of these!

This is a nice smoothie book that features a variety of ingredients and tastes. There aren't a lot of photos but there is nutritional information for each recipe. I like that she uses a few wild foods like dandelion leaves, but mostly it's traditional store bought ingredients. Some recipes call for things like collagen powder but they mostly use real foods. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet and don't know that I will, since the pairings just seem odd to me -- things like kale with soy milk with oranges with mint leaves and so on. I can't say they won't work, since I haven't tried them, but I am much more of a fan of the original book that made me fall in love with green smoothies -- Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko (sp?). Her book does feature many wild and backyard greens and is much more basic. I'll update this when/if I manage to assemble all of the ingredients for one of the recipes and try it.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

Super Green Smoothies is a plant based recipe and technique collection by Danielle Omar. Released 17th March 2020 by Callisto on their Rockridge Press imprint, it's 216 pages and available in paperback and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links. I've really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately. For Kindle Unlimited subscribers this book is currently included in the KU subscription library to borrow and read for free.

The book follows a logical and easy to understand format. The first chapter covers the background of ingredient selection, why everyone should care about the quality nutrition and important dietary potential raw greens provide, as well as the practicality of making your own, how to streamline prep (including a pantry staples lists of ingredients and tips) along with a very general beginner-accessible discussion of time-saving and other techniques. The author also includes some logical pointers, ingredients, and supplies lists. There is an interactive chart with greens listed and linked to their corresponding recipes. The process and technique sections are comprehensive and include tips for making the best and most palatable smoothies. The recipe chapters are arranged thematically by common dietary improvement areas: detox, weight loss, digestive health, energy boosters, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, healthy skin, and healthy heart. Nutritional information is included in the footer at the end of the recipes and includes calories, fat, sodium, cholesterol, carbs, fibre, sugar, protein. Some special dietary information is included (high-fibre, low sugar, dairy, superfood,etc).

The recipes have their ingredients listed bullet style in a sidebar. Measurements are given in US standard only. Special tools and ingredients are also listed, along with yields and cooking directions. Most of the ingredients are easily sourced at any moderately well stocked grocery store. The book also includes a short author bio, and a metric conversion chart, but lacks any index or general ingredients index. Each of the recipes includes a space for notes and observations as well as tips and substitutions in highlighted sidebars.

My main quibble with the book is that the recipes are mostly not photographed. There are some photos, and they're clear and attractive, but they only represent about 5% of the recipes included in the book.

Four stars.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

I received a copy of this arc from NetGalley for an honest review. Looking for healthy and easy to make green smoothies then this is the perfect book for you. Most of the recipes are super easy to follow and ingredients will not be hard to find.
