Product Description
Product Description
The hard-working people at innocent spend their days blending all kinds of delicious ingredients to create smoothies and juices that taste good and do you good. These are their secret recipes.
This book contains fancy juices, healthy smoothies for kids, some posh stuff and tons of classic innocent smoothies, as well as recipes from proper foodies like that nice Jamie Oliver. Stuffed full of helpful advice on how to get your five a day, how to wreck a juicer, how to play monkey tennis and – perhaps most importantly – how to make innocent smoothies, the ‘innocent smoothie recipe book’ is a vital tome for any kitchen shelf.
From the Author
My name's Dan and I wrote some of the stuff in the innocent drinks recipe book "Little Book of Drinks". But before we tell you all about the book, perhaps we should tell you about who we are. innocent began in 1999, when my friends Adam, Jon and Rich got a bit bored of the jobs that they were doing . The three of them realised that they were leading unhealthy lives, always working late and eating rubbish food when they got home, and they watched lots of telly too. The crunch came when they finally decided to put up or shut up - they'd been talking about starting a business for years, and now was the time for action. They bought £500 worth of fruit, crushed it all up to make smoothies and sold them from a stall at a little music festival in London. Above the stall was a big sign saying 'Do you think we should give up our jobs to make these smoothies?' and put out a bin saying 'YES' and a bin saying 'NO'. At the end of the weekend the 'YES' bin was so full so they went in the next day and resigned.
Switch to today, and innocent has got a bit bigger. There now 20 odd people working at Fruit Towers, and we sell our smoothies and yoghurt thickies all over the UK and Ireland. We've got a nice kitchen where Lucy makes up new recipes with all manner of fruit and veg, and we thought it would be nice to collect these recipes together, write a few words, take some pictures, draw some cartoons and put them all into a book. It took quite a long time, because we're quite fussy people. We were fussy about the photos, pernickity about the words and fastidious when it came to the recipes themselves. We made all of the drinks a million times, and then we asked a professional foodie to test them a million more times. Eventually we had a big list of drinks, so had to work out how to divide them up into sections. We ended up having sections for Work, Rest and Play. The Work drinks are very healthy blends, designed to make you feel human at inhuman times i.e. 9.30am on Monday, whilst the Rest recipes will have you purring in delight after a long Saturday lie-in. The Play recipes up the ante by adding a little alcohol to the equation, but all of the cocktails use absolutely fresh juices as well, meaning that you'll be doing yourself some good whilst impressing your friends with your breakdancing skills.
None of the drinks require superhuman powers in the kitchen - the bottom line with all of our recipes is that they should taste good and do you good.
Some of the nice things people have said about innocent include - "God-given and Glorious" Daily Mail Weekend.
"The smoothie to be seen with for the next millennium and beyond" Daily Express.

I can't help but continue to love Innocent.
Lets be fair, smoothies aren't cheap - especially these ones. Unlike other companies which would rather keep their recipes under lock and key, possibly with a small gnome guarding said key, here's a book of almost every smoothie they do and will no doubt release.
Wonderfully written, friendly, informative with handily little pockets of information thrown in. Fear not if you're new to idea of smoothies (or even vegetables), Innocent tell you exactly what you need to get started, including recommendations. There's even a list of all the fruit and veg used in the recipes and what goodness they contain.
I've yet to buy a juicer and can still do over half the recipes in this book and there's a great variety of them. From kids drinks to posh stuff, helping to ease travel sickness to breakfast 'thickies', there's sure to be something to suit your mood and taste.
So, if you're wanting to have great tasting smoothies, you can't go wrong with this book.

Not much to say other than Excellent Book. It's very light hearted, great humour and we have tried about 4 recipes to date and they were all really good. I would recommend this to all my friends and if you're looking to start making smoothies for the first time I couldn't think of a better book to use.

I have been a fan of the Innocent range of smoothies for ages but paying £1.75 per bottle was beginning to get to me so I decided to invest in this book and a smoothie maker to save me a few quid long term and after a week or so I am very pleased.
The recipes are great, with a good variety of ingredients used in case there are some you can't get hold of or don't like.
In addition to the headings you would expect to find (smoothies, thickies, juices) there are also a couple of other helpful sections; Posh Stuff uses slightly more sophisticated ingredients (Cherry & Dark Chocolate a particular favourite of the girlfriend) and the chapter that recommends a particular smoothie for certain occasions is also very helpful (Orange, Mango & Lime to wake you up, Prunes & Nutmeg to get things moving!)
All in all a grear book that makes getting your 5-a-day fun.

But because of that, I was a bit disappointed as well. Read more
