Smoothies and Beyond: Recipes and ideas for using your pro-blender for any meal of the day from batters to soups to desserts
Product ID: 527181259
A comprehensive collection of recipes to make the most of your pro-blender, featuring 40 foolproof recipes for every meal of the day, beautiful full-color photos, and essential tips and tricks. Pro-blenders are renowned for making smoothies, and this book offers three basic recipes with hundreds of mix-and-match ingredient add-ins to personalize your own healthy drinks. But pro-blenders are also great for nut milks, juices, purées, dips, butters, spreads, hot and cold soups, sweet and savory sauces, dressings, batters, creams, foams, and even frozen desserts. Preparing recipes in a pro-blender is a quick and easy way to cook, but the benefits don’t stop there. A pro-blender is really several appliances in one: blender, food processor, ice cream machine, electric beaters, and stove (for heating soups and sauces). Using a pro-blender cuts down on prep time: You don’t have to get out bowls and whisks and ladles and sieves, just layer roughly chopped ingredients in the container and you’re good to go. There is no need to strain puréed mixtures to help improve the texture of the dish, so you preserve maximum nutrients from the foods. And finally, a pro-blender is extremely easy to clean and doesn’t retain food odors, even strong ones like garlic or spices. Sample Recipes • Breakfast: Perfect Green Smoothie, Chilaquiles & Eggs with Roasted Chipotle Salsa, Puffed Oven Pancake with Peaches • Lunch: Trio of Mediterranean Dips with Flatbread, Avocado Gazpacho with Spicy Bread Crumbs, Turkey Panini with Cranberry Relish • Dinner: Thai-Style Curried Squash Soup, Meatballs in Tomato-Cream Sauce, Grilled Lamb Chops with Chimichurri • Dessert: Silken Chocolate Mousee, Peach-Raspberry Ice Cream, Tiramisu Semifreddo Review: Same book different tittle and cover. - This is a great book. HOWEVER: It is the exact same book at The Art of Blending by Tori Ritchie. No where did I see that it is the same book only different name and cover. I bought each one from different sources. Hopefully this will help you from making the same mistake. Page 92 in each book, the Tiramisu is amazing! Review: Four Stars - I enjoyed this book, very helpful. Thanks

Only 3 smoothie recipes
This is the exact same book as The Art of Blending. It is in EPUB format, so you can search it, while the digital copy of The Art of Blending sold under that name is only a PDF. The two books should be merged. This book has only 3 smoothie recipes, a "general purpose fruit" one, a generic green smoothie, and a generic oatmeal smoothie. The rating would be higher if the title reflected it contains mostly full meals you can make with a Vitamix blender -- Cuban pork and Caesar salads and whatnot. They're fine recipes, but I ordered this book for smoothies, and that's not what I got. The smoothie recipes themselves are limited in number (only 3) very basic. Again, not a smoothie cookbook, but the non-smoothie recipes are perfectly fine and usable.

Good book
Good book....buy it if you have a Vitamix Professional 750.

Book should be titled "Disappointed and Beyond!"
I gave this book 3 stars because it had very few smoothie recipes, and a lot of everything else. I was disappointed, and will check book contents before ordering again. Smoothies should be secondary in the title of the book.
