The Smoothie Book

Jump right into a world of 100 plant-based smoothies with this colorful recipe book full of fresh ideas by Certified Nutritionist Alli Shircliff. There are ten chapters, each with ten recipes with a specific theme, like green smoothies, savory smoothies, secret-ingredient smoothies, and a smoothie for every season. You’ll find all types of ingredients from bananas, to black beans, to zucchini, to chia seeds. Alli designed all these smoothies as quick and easy breakfasts for her family. Pull out your favorite fruits and vegetables, your blender, and flip through the book for a recipe that sounds like fun.

Alli has had a passion for food, nutrition, and fitness since she was a young girl. She took her first health class in fourth grade and fell in love with the science of nutrition chapter. This was back when the four food groups were taught, before the food pyramid, and she strove to eat the correct amounts of each food group each day. That love of science and food influenced her in college and graduate school where she studied nutrition for both degrees. She worked in restaurants, cafés, volunteered for food-based organizations, and read as much about alternative ways of approaching nutrition and food.
