The Blender Girl by Tess Masters

The Blender Girl













The Blender Girl by Tess Masters has 100 gluten free, vegan recipes. The Blender Girl is so much more than just recipes though. In the first couple of chapters, she explains a little bit about blenders and how to use them to their fullest. Chapter 2 has lots of really great information on live enzymes, cleansing, the importance of raw foods, super foods that are packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. She also talks about how soaking improves digestion. She speaks to sprouting and milking. Some of these techniques I have already incorporated in my diet but some are new to me. I  have not tried making my own milks. I really want to have the time and energy to do so but it also seems so much easier to by almond milk from the store. 

I love her information and explanations. Many of her recipes are wonderfully easy but some of them are fairly involved. I want to get to the point where I find eating the way she speaks about easy --- sometimes it seems like alot of work. That is when I just opt for a simple salad that incorporates all the raw vegetables, seeds and nuts. It seems easier then blending it all up. I want to be a blender girl more often than I am. I am hoping these recipes will inspire me to pull out my blender every day.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for free in exchange for an honest review.
