Smoothie

What is "smoothie"?

A smoothie is a thick beverage made by blending fresh or frozen fruit with liquid ingredients like milk, yogurt or fruit juice until smooth. Smoothies combine the flavors and nutrients of various fruits into a cold, creamy and easy to consume form. They typically have a vibrant color that depends on the fruit used, ranging from pale pink and orange to deep purple. The texture of a smoothie is thick yet drinkable, with a consistency somewhere between a milkshake and a fruit juice. The fruit provides natural sweetness while adding flavor, aroma and healthful components like fiber, antioxidants and vitamins. Their convenience and portability make smoothies a popular breakfast option or snack, providing an easily digested burst of nutrients and energy.
