Health food stores of the West coast of the United States began selling pureed fruit drinks in the 1930s. The name smoothie was used for a product made in blenders. A smoothie is a blended, chilled, sometimes sweetened beverage made from fresh fruit or vegetables. In addition to fruit, many smoothies include crushed ice, fruit, honey, yogurt, milk, or other dairy product, although some smoothies are 100% fruit, never an imitation syrup.
Smoothies made with real fruit can be found in Shelby Twp, Macomb, Mi at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas & Subs at the corner of 21 Mile & Hayes. Have your smoothies delivered with lunch. 586-566-7484 www.soup-scoop.com.
