I highly recommend this book. I have tried most of the recipes so far and all are delicous, especially the chocolate raspberry smoothie and Eric's caramel-vanilla smoothie. I had to order some of the ingrediants on the internet, but I live in a very rural area, so others may find them more readily available.

I purchased Dana Carpender's book 500 Low-Carb Recipes and was disappointed in the recipes and the ingredients. This book was no different. After reading the carb counts on her smoothies recipes as well as the ingredients she call for, they are not what I would consider low-carb.

I love to have a smoothie for breakfast. I'm not a breakfast eater in general and I'm very tired of eggs, so I found this book to be very useful. I do replace most of the crystal lite drink mixes with kool-aid powder or extracts to minimize the amount of aspartame consumed, but they still taste great. This is not a book for people just starting out on a low carb diet, but its great for those who are steadily losing or who are maintaining their weight. Dana never disappoints us.
