- The shrewd categorization helps you quickly find the desired recipes, no matter you’re looking for smoothie recipes for the current season, for your kids, for taste, for weight loss or for better health
- Though the previous version of this book didn’t have an appendix, the current volume does come with an appendix and you can now cross-reference recipes and ingredients instead of having to explore the whole book
- Easy to read and understand guidelines
- Most recipes are based around ingredients that are frequently available in the market

What’s missing?
- No mention of the nutritional value of different recipes
- The writer has discussed (in fact promoted) her favorite brand of blenders, which we think is out of place
