This second collection of smoothie recipes from the Corpening sisters is organized in a very similar fashion to the first, with introductory comments on fruit selection, binders, nutrients, and preparation. The recipes themselves are divided into eight sections: energy elixirs, immune boosters, weight-conscious concoctions, for the gals, kid shakes and baby blends, for the fellows, stress reducers, and "our faves."

Although these recipes are slightly more complex, they are still quite easy to prepare, provided that you have an industrial-strength blender that can handle ice. I particularly enjoyed the yoga blend (strawberries, mango, guava, banana, coconut) and flu-buster (OJ, strawberries, papaya, banana). That said, I could not rate this as highly as the first, for the simple reason that I just haven't used it as much. ( )
