Healthy in a Hurry by Elizabeth Greenway
Introduction is about smoothies and how they are beneficial and easy to make.
Each recipe includes a summary of what vitamins the drink is rich in and the ingredient list which contains very healthy ingredients.
Each section has just one color photo at the start of the new chapter. Some recipes include servings.
Directions on how to make using a blender are included.
No nutritional information but all the foods are fresh produce in their natural state-no enhancements.
Definitely like the different combinations of fruits and vegetables used.
Love the granola sections as we use a bar every day and it's nice to be able to make them ourselves so we control what goes in them, rather than buying them at the store with processed items included.
Bars and cookies section also are appetizing. Wish it had prep and cook time at the start of each recipe.
No bake bars will be one to try as we get whey from the yogurt we make in our pressure cooker.

Starts out with an introduction about what the book offers for all skill levels. Some healthy ones also!
Each recipe includes a title along with a summary and a color photo.
Servings and list of ingredients (some very healthy) and some hard to find items from your local stores.
Preparation is detailed. What I don't like about this book is each of the recipes does not start on its own page and there is no nutritional information.
A blender is used a lot, something I don't have and some use an ice cream maker.
One recipe has nutritive value: vegetarian, gluten free, lactose free) they copied this from another cookbook as it's not the same format as the other recipes.
Other works by the author are highlighted at the end.
