Answer 2

A smoothie is a blended non-alcholic beverage made from natural ingredients, usually fruits and juices but sometimes other natural flavors such as chocolate, peanut butter or even green tea.Many smoothies use ice or frozen fruit to make them into cold partially frozen beverages. They resemble milkshakes in the sense that they have a thicker consistency than slush drinks, but unlike milkshakes, they are often non-dairy and don't contain ice cream. Smoothies are marketed to health-conscious people and often provide extra vitamins and nutritional supplements.

Stephen Kuhnau, the founder of Smoothie King, claims to have created the original "smoothie" in the 1960's, and also to have coined the term He worked as a soda jerk in his teens, serving people milkshakes, but couldn't drink them himself because of his dairy intolerance.

Some smoothies depend on bananas to give them their thick, creamy texture.

Smoothies can also be mixed with soda pop and/or alcohol to make a cocktail.
