My Smarter Fitter Smoothies book continues to evolve, with the content almost 100% complete and the cover design just about nailed. I’ve gotta give major kudos to my friends Gloria Nicol and Helen Best-Shaw for their help in this regard.
Gloria, a food stylist, photographer, author and great friend, gave me some extremely useful advice and encouragement (look to my existing smoothie pins on Pinterest for inspiration – of course!).
Helen, who writes the blog Fuss Free Flavours, helped immeasurably by having me over for a fun photography session in which we both got jiggy with smoothie making, props and picture taking. In the end, Helen snapped the winning shot (pictured above) and also introduced me to Pic Monkey, a nifty free tool that made it easy for me to lay some stylish text over my photo. Hence, the cover was born!
To celebrate this milestone, and to gear us all up for the imminent publication of my book, I’m hosting a giveaway! Here’s what’s up for grabs:
10 copies of the eBook edition of Smarter Fitter Smoothies

I’ve recently got into green smoothies – sometimes they’re delicious and sometimes I get the balance slightly wrong! Would love to win a copy of your book so I can put some science behind my experimentation 🙂
I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this Monica!
My teenage daughter loves making smoothies for snacks for the family. This book will inspire more greatness:)
Love your stuff!!!
I’m looking forward to getting some new inspiration in the smoothie dept. I’ve gotten stuck in a rut!
we just recently as a family started drinking green smoothies in addition to our green juice… i love the flexibility of them as well as how easy they are to get together… looking forward to your book…
Is this the only book you have or are there others?
Hi Kayla – I also have the Healthy Vegan Breakfast Book for sale, and a couple other books in the works. Anything in particular you’re looking for? 😉
I’m a huge fan of Pic Monkey and your new cover looks fab!
Need to branch out with my smoothie recipes, this looks like there are some good nutrient filled ones… Looking forward to reading it.
Monica makes great smoothies. I look forward to this book for healthier eating.
I love, love, LOVE your smoothies and cannot wait for this to come out! Your smoothies have it all… the artistry, the flavor, the nutrition, the enjoyment!
This book is going to be awesome! I for one have no idea how to make a well balanced smoothie, so this book will be priceless. I love that you are offering both ebook and print editions!
I agree… I want a hard copy, it will be one of the main “go to” books on my recipe book shelf. I don’t have an ipad or computer near the kitchen, besides those pictures are inspiring and whet the appetite!
Recipe Book Suggestion: I would like a book for soup/stews and meals in a bowl…. One pot, ladle up some hot nourishing tasty brew and have complete satisfaction. Maybe a vegetarian gumbo in the mix too…. dal, of course… a bowl for each ethnic tradition!
I could see smoothies being paired up with meal choices. Smoothies for tail-gate parties, smoothies for a July 4th (in US) holiday, etc.
I would love to win this awesome book. 🙂
