The Smoothie Deck

Colorful, flavorful, and functional: This deck of recipe cards for 50 camera-ready smoothies that include health-boosting ingredients makes blending in a good thing.

You don’t have to be Hailey Bieber or Sabrina Carpenter to get a custom smoothie packed with functional ingredients that promise to give your skin a glow. For about the cost of a single drink at one of the luxury smoothie shops, The Smoothie Deck: Recipes to Help You Live Your Best Life offers 50 smoothie recipes made with beneficial, adaptogenic ingredients.

The recipes are divided into five categories based on the benefits they offer: Radiance, Rejuvenate, Balance, Energize, and Indulge. In Radiance, you'll find the Gaia Glow, a swirly, colorful packed with blue spirulina for antioxidants and sea moss gel for immune support; Rejuvenate offers drinks the electrolyte-filled Watermelon Rehydrator; Balance showcases everyday smoothies like Daily Vitality, packed with greens and balanced with just a touch of sweetness; Energize drinks will get and keep you going, like the buzzy Coffee Date dialed up with tahini to give a dose of healthy fats; and Indulge with not-at-all guilty pleasures like Strawberry Cheesecake, a smoothie version of the favorite sweet treat.

Each card contains a photograph on one side and a recipe/ingredient list on the other. With their compact size, the cards slip perfectly into your bag or pocket, you can easily take a couple to the grocery store for smooth shopping trips—and since all the cards are laminated, you can prop them up on the counter while blending and simply wipe them clean if things get messy. Along with fifty delectable smoothie recipes, this deck includes three additional cards that provide information on the functional ingredients. You'll also learn about layering, swirling, and glass-streaking for smoothies that look and taste good while helping you look and feel even better.
