dear Sharon, thanks for introducing me to the smoothie world! Actually I use the blender a lot, but now I am aware of another name for what I create with it. The book looks tasty and inspiring. I will try to get ahold of it in old Europe. Lisa, could you you repeat your friend's recipe in plain text version? Thanks
