Top 10 Best Smoothie Recipe Books in 2021 (Women's Health, Julie Morris, and More)

It can be so easy to get in a rut when it comes to nutrition. But switching up something as simple as your daily smoothie can make a big impact on your health because you're adding in different fruits and veggies to balance out your nutrition intake. It also keeps you from getting bored or worse, falling into bad habits.

When looking for a recipe, it's important to remember your goals. And if you don't have a goal, take a moment to figure out what it is! After that, get specific. 

Wanting to "eat healthier" is a noble goal but most likely won't get you anywhere. But wanting to switch out your cereal in the mornings for a fiber-rich smoothie every day is a very specific goal, making it much more manageable and achievable!

Finding recipes with ingredients you know and like is important when finding a recipe book that you will actually stick to. But, at the same time, be adventurous and willing to try new ingredients. 

If you want to start making more green smoothies but just can't handle the thought of that right now, start small. Instead of adding two cups of kale to a smoothie, add one-fourth of a cup to start out with. You'll definitely be surprised how you can't even taste it! After you've gotten used to it, you can slowly work towards adding more kale or greens to your smoothies.

Ultimately, when choosing a new book, make sure that you can have fun with the creation process! Trying new smoothies can be really enjoyable and they're a great vehicle to helping you reach your goals whether you just want to change up your smoothie game or want to introduce your diet to more fruits and vegetables.

My number one health and weight loss tip is to add fiber. Fiber is important and beneficial on so many levels, so make sure you add chia seeds or flaxseed meal to your smoothies every day. 

Fiber not only keeps you regular but blocks fat, keeps you feeling satiated and satisfied, and you won't absorb as many calories when consuming it because you can't digest fiber. It adds bulk to your foods without the stress of intaking a ton of calories.
