Smoothie Doctors

These 75 simple recipes for delicious, healthy smoothies are just what the doctors ordered!

Every day, doctors see the effects that current lifestyles are having on people’s health and wellbeing. Western society suffers from high rates of illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity and cancer, many of which are preventable. It is often the case that making small changes can have a tremendously positive impact on our health.

Smoothies are an excellent example of a small change you can make for better health – they take minutes to prepare but they can provide a daily dose of vitamins, minerals, fibre, protein and antioxidants.

Each of the recipes in Smoothie Doctors has been contributed by a practising health professional representing one of a broad range of medical specialties. Not only do the smoothies taste delicious, they’re packed with goodness, and their creators explain how they are beneficial for your health. The book includes:

• Breakfast smoothies

• Post-workout smoothies

• Smoothies for children

• Smoothies for gut health and constipation

• Smoothies for healthy hearts, bones and sleep

• Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory smoothies

• Low sugar smoothies

Smoothie Doctors has been collated and edited by Dr Emma Short, an NHS doctor specialising in gastrointestinal and soft tissue pathology, based in Swansea Bay University Health Board. She is a health and fitness writer and runs a popular running club.
