Smoothies And Juices

There is something really enticing about freshly made blended drinks and juices. They can be healthy and cleansing, fresh and zesty, smooth and creamy or rich and decadent - but what they all have in common is a wonderfully moreish quality that makes you feel that every glassful is a treat. This beautiful book opens with a comprehensive introduction to juicing and blending, with advice on choosing and using the right machine for the job. Learn how to choose the perfect fruits and vegetables for juicing, how to prepare them, the best way to crush ice, and how to decorate and garnish drinks. The recipe section offers a fabulous collection of drinks - from fresh juices made from raw fruits and vegetables to healthy yogurt smoothies, delicious creamy blends, and more indulgent dessert drinks and party tipples. Invigorate your whole body with zingy mixtures of fresh, raw vegetables and peppery chilies, or soothe your system with delicious fruit combinations such as orange and passion fruit or melon, pear and ginger. Give yourself a treat with sumptuous drinks that are closer to desserts than thirst-quenchers - try a creamy blueberry and meringue milkshake or a rich dark chocolate smoothie. If you're in the mood to party, invite friends round and tempt them with fabulous drinks such as fresh lemon vodka or a blended fruit punch. With every recipe clearly explained and with 190 stunning colour photographs, whatever your thirst dictates, this glorious book contains a blend that's perfect for your every mood.
