A smoothie is a thick, blended beverage typically made with fresh or frozen fruits, vegetables, yogurt, milk, or plant-based alternatives. Originating from the Western health food movement of the mid-20th century, smoothies are now enjoyed globally as a refreshing, nutrient-packed snack or meal option. They often include additional ingredients like protein powders, seeds, or nut butters to enhance nutritional value and flavor. Smoothies are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a convenient way to boost fruit and vegetable intake. However, attention should be paid to added sugars, high-calorie ingredients, and portion sizes, as these can diminish their health benefits. By tailoring recipes to individual dietary needs, smoothies can fit into a wide range of lifestyles and cuisines, offering a versatile and satisfying option for those seeking balanced nutrition.
