Since so many people are using smoothies to beat the summer heat, what better way to get ideas for a few new combinations than with a new cookbook? The Ultimate Smoothie Book has over 130 recipes in it, and the chances are good that you'll find at least one or two concoctions that you have not yet tried. The book is actually a revised edition of one that was published a few years ago and was updated with the help of a nutritionist, so not only are the recipes satisfying, but they're good for you. Some of the smoothies include Orange Coconut Creamsicle-In-a-Glass and Raspberry Ripple, and all of the recipes are grouped by category according their suggested health benefits, though you could certainly indulge in one whenever the mood strikes. The book also suggests substitutions in situations were an ingredient might be difficult to find or, whether for health or simply personal preference, a particular ingredient needs to be avoided.
