Smoothies

by Tracy Rutherford

Published 24 April 2003
Smoothies, shakes and frappes are a great way to consume fruit in a drink as all the flesh is used as opposed to juices, which leave the fibre behind. By adding nuts, yoghurt, spices and other healthy additives, they become a nutrient-dense, delicious treat to boost general health and vitality. All recipes in this book can be used with dairy-free soy, rice or oat milk, and can be thickened with soy yoghurt, sorbet or nuts for a dairy-free diet. The text also includes information on preparing, storing and freezing fruits as well as indulgent recipes for decadent and spirited smoothies - their flavour combinations inspired by classic desserts such as Black Forest and tiramisu, and classic cocktails such as the daiquiri and the Bloody Mary.
