What a refreshing look at smoothies! Healthy smoothies are essentially nutrient-dense foods through a straw, and yet one of the joys of eating is seeing the ingredients of our food and chewing them. Bravo to Carissa Bonham for giving us both in her rainbow-colored goodness-packed recipes. These beautiful bowls are part-smoothie goodness, part sprinkles of fruit, nuts, seeds, and other wholesome delights. You cannot help but fall in love with them. A beautifully done book which leaves you feeling satiated and guilt-free!” Farnoosh Brock, author of The Healthy Smoothie Bible and The Healthy Juicer’s Bible
