Smoothies
The history of smoothies dates back to the 1940s in Hollywood, where actresses started eating crushed fruit as a quick and energising snack during breaks in filming. The finer the mix, the easier it was to swallow.
Drinking smoothies has since become a cultural phenomenon and smoothies have become the fastest growing food business in the United States and the United Kingdom. People can buy smoothies in fast food chains, cafes, bars, restaurants and hotels, and also in gyms. Smoothies served over crushed ice have become the most popular drinks in almost all European nightclubs and Mediterranean beaches in recent years, replacing fizzy drinks.
How are smoothies different from juice?
Juices are usually pressed or steamed to extract liquid from the fruit, vegetables or berries, but smoothies are made by crushing the entire fruit or berry and the puree is then poured into a glass or a bottle. This means that all of the substances found in the berry or fruit stay in the drink and nothing is lost.
Milk, yoghurt, soy milk, vitamins and flavourings can also be added to smoothies and the resulting drinks are called smoothie drinks.
The English have a joke: If you want to eat fruit without getting your hands sticky or smudging your lipstick, drink smoothies!
Unlike carrots and cabbage, tropical fruit does not grow in our climate, which is why Kadarbiku’s smoothies are made using 100% natural berry and fruit puree concentrates. Only local water is added to restore the natural density of the juice.
