The Honest Truth About Our Content

We love food, we love recipes, and we love sharing them with you. But we’re not doctors, nutritionists, dietitians, or certified chefs. We’re passionate home cooks who’ve tested a lot of recipes and want to share what works. Here’s what that means for you.

General Information Purpose

Everything on Time for Smoothie – recipes, cooking tips, nutritional information, ingredient suggestions – is for general informational and educational purposes only. It’s not professional advice of any kind.

Think of us like your friend who’s really into cooking and wants to share tips. You’d listen to your friend’s recipe suggestions, but you wouldn’t sue them if the soufflé fell, right? Same concept here.

Not Medical or Nutritional Advice

We provide nutritional information calculated from standard databases, but this is NOT medical or nutritional advice. We’re not qualified to tell you what you should or shouldn’t eat based on your health conditions.

When You Need a Professional

Consult healthcare providers or registered dietitians if you:

  • Have diabetes, celiac disease, kidney disease, or other medical conditions
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have food allergies or intolerances
  • Are on a medically supervised diet
  • Need specific nutritional guidance
  • Have eating disorders or disordered eating patterns
  • Are considering major dietary changes

Our “healthy recipes” reflect our understanding of general nutrition principles, not medical advice tailored to your situation.

Food Allergies and Intolerances

We try to identify common allergens in recipes, but we cannot guarantee any recipe is safe for your specific allergies or intolerances.

Your Responsibility

You must:

  • Read ingredient labels carefully
  • Verify products meet your dietary requirements
  • Understand cross-contamination risks
  • Make your own safety determinations
  • Consult allergists for severe allergies

We test recipes in home kitchens, not allergen-free facilities. Cross-contamination is possible.

Recipe Results May Vary

We test every recipe multiple times, but we can’t guarantee results in your kitchen. Cooking is influenced by countless variables:

  • Ingredient brands and quality
  • Equipment differences (oven temperature accuracy, blender power, etc.)
  • Altitude and humidity
  • Individual cooking skills and experience
  • Measurement accuracy
  • Substitutions made
  • Following (or not following) instructions

If a recipe doesn’t turn out perfectly, we’re genuinely sorry and want to help troubleshoot – email feedback@timeforsmoothie.com. But we can’t be liable for disappointing results.

Food Safety

We provide cooking times, temperatures, and storage guidance we believe are safe based on standard food safety practices. However:

You’re Responsible For

  • Following safe food handling practices
  • Cooking food to safe internal temperatures
  • Storing food properly
  • Checking for spoilage
  • Using fresh, quality ingredients
  • Maintaining clean cooking environments

When in doubt about food safety, err on the side of caution. Don’t risk foodborne illness to save a questionable chicken breast.

Kitchen Safety

Cooking involves inherent risks – sharp knives, hot stoves, potential burns, equipment accidents. We assume you’ll follow basic kitchen safety practices.

Be Careful With

  • Sharp knives and kitchen tools
  • Hot surfaces, pots, and pans
  • Boiling liquids and steam
  • Electrical appliances
  • Glass containers
  • Kitchen equipment like blenders and food processors

We’re not liable for kitchen accidents or injuries. Use common sense and proper safety precautions.

No Professional Relationship

Reading our content doesn’t create any professional relationship between you and Time for Smoothie or our team members. We’re not your personal nutritionist, chef, or food consultant.

We can’t provide personalized advice through comments or emails beyond basic recipe questions. For individual dietary guidance, consult qualified professionals.

Nutritional Information Accuracy

Nutritional data is calculated using USDA databases and European food standards, but these are estimates. Actual nutritional content varies based on:

  • Specific ingredient brands
  • Preparation methods
  • Portion sizes
  • Measurement accuracy
  • Product formulation changes

If you require precise nutritional information for medical reasons, calculate it independently using your specific ingredients.

Weight Loss and Health Claims

We might mention that recipes are “healthy,” “light,” “low-calorie,” or similar terms. These reflect our general understanding of nutrition, not personalized health advice.

We make no guarantees that our recipes will lead to weight loss, improved health, or any specific health outcomes. Individual results vary based on overall diet, lifestyle, genetics, and health status.

We sometimes link to products, ingredients, or external resources. These are suggestions based on our experience, not professional endorsements.

Product Links

Some links might be affiliate links where we earn small commissions if you purchase (clearly marked when present). This doesn’t affect our recommendations – we only suggest products we’ve personally used and liked.

We’re not responsible for:

  • Product quality or safety
  • Third-party website content
  • Merchant business practices
  • Product availability or pricing changes

Recipe Attribution and Inspiration

Our recipes are original, developed through testing and experimentation. However, cooking techniques and ingredient combinations are common knowledge built on centuries of culinary tradition.

If we’ve adapted inspiration from other sources, we try to credit appropriately. If you notice similar recipes elsewhere, that’s the nature of cooking – many recipes overlap because food combinations are universal.

Content Accuracy and Updates

We strive for accuracy but mistakes happen. If you spot errors, please email us at feedback@timeforsmoothie.com so we can correct them.

We update recipes when we discover improvements or better methods. Check the “Last Updated” date on recipe pages if you’re concerned about having the most current version.

Substitutions and Modifications

When you modify recipes based on your preferences or needs, you’re assuming responsibility for how those changes affect taste, texture, nutritional content, and safety.

We provide substitution suggestions we’ve tested, but we can’t guarantee success with all possible variations. If you make significant modifications, you’re essentially creating a new recipe.

Religious and Cultural Dietary Practices

While we might label recipes as “vegan,” “halal-friendly,” “kosher-friendly,” etc., we’re not religious authorities or experts in religious dietary laws.

If you follow religious dietary practices, verify ingredients and preparation methods meet your specific requirements. Our labels are informational only, not religious certifications.

Commercial Use Prohibited

Our recipes are for personal, non-commercial use. Don’t use them in restaurants, catering businesses, food products, or other commercial ventures without written permission.
