Synopsis

In the book Super Smoothies-Taste the Nectar of Life we discover some of the most unique smoothies, with a dairy-free twist. Candia Lea Cole blends combinations of fresh and rehydrated fruits and vegetables with dairy free liquids. She then fortifies her drinks with nuts, seeds, pseudo-grains, medicinal spices, super food fortifiers, and natural flavorings. The exotically flavored drinks are identified in the book by colors of the rainbow, which the author suggests are a drinkable form of color therapy. Meeting the body's daily requirement for nutrients such as beta carotene is a pleasure when you can do it while enjoying smoothies such as Creamy Malaysian Sweet Potato, Luscious Butterscotch Yam, Enriched Carrot Nugget, or Apricot Almond Orange. Vegetarian body-builders who want to build lean, strong bodies without relying on commercial protein powders (which contain stale, oxidized ingredients) will thrive on choices such as Maple Banana Amaranth, Frosty Apple Cinnamon Swirl, Figgy Cranapple Nut, and Kiwi Fruit Cocktail. The author says, whether served warm or chilled, these four-season recipes "inspire a romantic connection to the natural world, while serving to nourish our bodies and gently cleanse the cellular toxins that accumulate through our consumption of too many cooked and processed foods."
