			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The American Dietetic Association stresses not only the importance of breakfast, but the quality of breakfast foods consumed.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since I decided to lose weight I always knew I needed to stay healthy. I looked around online for some healthy smoothie recipes to make this a little easier, and I came across the Amazing Smoothie Recipes eBook &#8211; which is more than just a collection of recipes. As soon as I started reading it I found a number of health tips and ways that smoothies can help you lose weight.</p>
<p>The eBook itself only cost me $9.95 and it was very easy to purchase and download, coming in a PDF file that could be saved to my computer as well as printed out to put in a ring binder. This was good for me as I was really excited to get reading and learning all about smoothies. It even had 4 bonus eBooks which are also really useful!</p>
<p>Some of the great things this eBook has taught me include just why it&#8217;s so important to have 5 portions of fruit and vegetables each day. Because most of us lead such busy lives, we often get as little as three &#8211; but the recipes in this eBook provide a helpful way around this. You&#8217;ll even get a chart so you can tick off how many portions of fruit you eat every day.</p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t just interested in the recipes, though: I found it fascinating to sit down and simply read about how good fruit is for our bodies. When youre on a diet, it&#8217;s very reassuring to know that the recipes you&#8217;re making are giving you all the nutrients you need &#8221; and I learned a lot from this eBook. Take, for example, the fact that an important cancer-preventing ingredient, lycopene, is found in the watermelon which can be turned into a delicious drink! And that there are a whole range of antioxidants found in different fruits. </p>
<p>I also recommend the recipe on page 43 for the Pink Banana Smoothie, or the Apple Passion on page 37. And the good news is that they don&#8217;t require any fancy ingredients, just fruits stocked in your local supermarket. This is even great for anyone going on a raw diet &#8221; all it takes is a minute to whizz your food in the blender!</p>
<p>One important point to emphasise is that the measurements in this eBook all come in ml instead of cups. This shouldn&#8217;t be too much of a problem, since most measuring jugs come with both. If yours doesn&#8217;t, then I recommend buying a Pyrex measuring cup. Fortunately mine did measure in both, and I found that 1 cup was roughly equal to just over 200ml of juice.</p>
<p>Buying this eBook was super easy and convenient thanks to the fact that it is sent to you to download instantly, no matter what time of the day it is! I was especially impressed by the great free eBooks that came with it: Amazing Fast Food Facts, 101 Amazing Ways to Stay Healthy, The Amazing Family Cookbook (with 500+ low sugar and low fat recipes), and Amazing Vegetable Variations (300+ recipes that families love).</p>
<p>Id definitely recommend the Amazing Smoothie Recipes eBook to anyone on a diet or wanting to learn more about improving their health!</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re learning how to be a little more healthy, or trying to lose some weight, the <a href="http://www.amazingsmoothierecipes.com">Amazing Smoothie Recipes</a> ebook is here to help.
