Fifty blends, honestly described. No detoxes, no cleanses, no superfoods.
Most green smoothie books sell you a promise. This one sells you a blender, fifty recipes, and the truth about what's actually in the glass.
Green Smoothies is a straight-talking cookbook for anyone who wants to eat more vegetables without swallowing the marketing that usually comes with them. Every blend is weighed in metric, calculated per serving, and printed with the sugar count front and centre because when you're drinking blended fruit, that's the number that matters. The word "detox" appears exactly once, in the chapter explaining why it means nothing.
Inside this book:
• 50 tested blends across six chapters Everyday Greens, Lower-Sugar, Fruit-Forward, Creamy and Filling, Zesty and Tropical, and Frozen and Storecupboard
• Full nutrition panel on every recipe energy, sugars and fibre first, then protein, fat, carbs, salt, vitamin C and potassium
• The chapter nobody else prints published cases of kidney injury from heavy raw-green regimes, plus a clear guide to which leaves are high in oxalate and why you should rotate them
• Sugar, teeth and the 150 ml question what UK free-sugar guidance actually means for a drink you make at home
• Practical blending technique liquid first, greens second, timings for every stage, and how to stop protein powder foaming
• A seven-day starter plan, freezing and batching guidance, and an oxalate reference table
• No pork, no bacon, no meat of any kind with every allergen listed in full and dairy-free swaps throughout
Rotate your greens. Drink it with a meal. Ignore anyone who tells you it will detoxify anything.
