Filibaba Smoothies for Android

Great app! Very useful

Nice attractive interface. Nutrition facts are a nice touch. More recipes needed. With regard to the reviewer below who says that 'all' smoothies are unhealthy, doesn't understand what a smoothie is. A smoothie is only as good as it's ingredients. You lose nothing nutritionally speaking, and if you have a proper blender - nutrients are made even more available to the body. Do yourself a favor and study this out for yourself.

Smoothies - no matter where it comes from - are NOT good. They're NOT healthy for anyone. Very simple; for example, the avg. fruit smoothie contains appx. 2-3 bananas, 1lb strawberries, 2/3 oranges, etc. If one were to ask you to EAT this, rather than drink it, no one would say they can. and you can't. The reason is because when a smoothie is made, it takes out the juice - which is high in fructose - that's SUGAR, folks, and your ONLY supposed to have (MAXIMUM!) 9mg/day - the sugar alone in a smoothie is WAY over this amount (and for those who think fructose is different from sucrose, dextrose, maltose, etc., you're wrong; sugar is sugar, but, fructose is even worse, because humans can't digest it!) What's thrown away is the fibre - and if one were to attempt to eat - even a part of the amount of fruit in just ONE smoothie, the fibre would fill you up, telling your body, 'enough.' So, don't be foolish. Don't think it's 'healthy,' just because it's made from fruit. It isn't. You want to be healthy? Eat the fruit, instead. Cut out sugar from your daily diet. Read ingredients - ESPECIALLY 'health' foods, and see how much sugar is in it (a LOT), but it's not just listed as 'sugar.' It's also; fructose, dextrose, maltose, etc. Stay AWAY from anything 'low fat,' as well. When they remove fat from food, it's got to be replaced by something, so it doesn't taste like cardboard. They replace it with...SUGAR!!!

I love smoothies, so I liked the idea of this app when I saw it on my daily free app listing. The interface and nutrition information are nice. However, there are only 36 smoothies, and many of them include expensive or inaccessible ingredients, like gooseberries and passion fruit. If I'd paid for this, I would've been disappointed. Hopefully they'll add more recipes with updates. It'd also be cool to add a feature where you can save your own smoothie recipes into your app, so that you can use it for all your smoothie needs.

Very few apps combine well thought design, with pretty and unobtrusive animation, to bring quality information. This app, which is simply a smoothie recipe database, goes many steps ahead of this to explain the history of the ingredients, nutritional values, beautiful photos, an executable step-by-step and even a timer! The recipes are wonderful, some I've never seen before and are very exquisite. Simply fantastic!
