200 Best Smoothie Bowl Recipes Paperback – Illustrated, April 1, 2016

Such a great book with so many easy to make and tasty smoothies! Absolutely love it!

Great recipes! I've made several, and they all taste great. I didn't find a lack of photos to be a problem - in fact, more of a blessing since I can't make them that pretty. At a minimum, I make 2 per day: a smoothie bowl for breakfast, and another one as a late night dessert/snack after dinner/before bed.So, pros...1. Logging them in MyFitnessPal indicates most are between about 200-350 calories, depending on ingredients and toppings.2. Most have ingredients I can find in local grocery stores or even Walmart.3. And I like that I can make several different recipes buying just a handful of basic ingredients.4. Lots of fresh/frozen ingredients and only a few use any processed ingredients.Cons...1. Typos! Once you get the hang of it, they become easier to spot. As a rule, most recipes use 1/4 of liquid, so if you see 3/4, that's likely a typo, and you end up with a drinkable smoothie. Not bad, but not the intention. I've tried adjusting those recipes and they work fine.2. No nutritional breakdown for the base recipe. I get that toppings can change the nutritional analysis, but I'd least like the basic calories, protein, fat, and sugar for each. (And speaking of that, I substitute powdered peanut butter for regular, which reduces the fat content.)3. Stock up on bananas! If you don't like bananas, this book is probably NOT for you. Not all recipes require them, but a majority of them do. (Luckily I love them.)I've seen other smoothie bowl books, but those recipes often have long lists of ingredients or ingredients that are too exotic for my taste (spirulina, anyone?). All in all, I'd love to see a sequel to this book.

Amazing seller, Excellent Service :) A must buy! Tripple A+++++++

Whenever my husband or kids eat ice cream, they mix it up with milk, and eat it with a spoon. I don’t eat much ice cream, but I do enjoy smoothies, and Smoothie Bowls is a similar idea — smoothies, often with extra toppings, which we eat with a spoon. Chapters include breakfast smoothie bowls, green creations, kid-friendly smoothie bowls, anytime smoothie bowls, coffee and tea smoothie bowls, and dessert bowls, and a chapter on toppings. There is also an introduction which explains the concept, benefits, tips, troubleshooting, healthy ingredients, and offers suggestions for blenders and how to build your bowls.I really love the unexpected combinations that some of the many, many recipes offer, like the plum honeydew or the watermelon pomegranate. My whole family really loves include the complete breakfast smoothie bowl, which we enjoy with toppings of chopped pecans and shredded coconut. The breakfast-to-go and superfood smoothie are also popular in our family. I really like the upside-down apple pie bowl — with extra cinnamon — and the green coconut bowl, which includes some kale in it, so we can easily get some extra greens in our diet.

That is a shame.I wanted to see a lot of beautiful pictures.The fascination of smoothie bowls is in their looks!It is important to me if a recipe book to inspire me to make my own colourful world.I will probably not open the book again.

We love cookbooks that take a traditional topic and put a creative spin on it and author Lewis accomplishes that goal admirably with this volume. Rather than create nutritional, delicious smoothies that are served in a glass, Lewis shares 200 ways to enjoy smoothies creatively arranged and garnished with fresh ingredients and served in a bowl for breakfast, lunch, dinner or simply snacking. We love that Lewis reaches beyond the most common fruits and veggies normally featured in smoothie drinks and includes ingredients such as kale, mulberries, figs and pumpkin puree to fashion her colorful creations. The author also provides a wide range of suggestions for toppings, arranging your ingredients to please the eye as well as the palate, and tips for ingredient substistutions. Although Smooth Bowls can be enjoyed year-round, their ease of preparation, use of fresh foods and chilled temperatures make them perfect menu offerings for the warmer days of spring through Indian summer!

This is a wonderful book with great ideas. We enjoy smoothies and smoothie bowls year around and alway seem to be looking for something different. With 200 smoothie bowls to choose from we will be able to change it up and find some new ideas.I highly recommend this book!!

Great smoothie Book! Loved the been-nut recipe!!!
