Answer 2

The claim that Kuhnau invented smoothies is not without controversy. In particular, Orange Julius has been making a smoothie-like beverage since the 1920's. Smoothie and juice bars started becoming popular throughout the United States in the 1990's. Jamba Juice is the largest smoothie bar franchise, with 533 stores and sales reaching $345 million in 2005. Jamba Juice is often thought of as the Starbucks of the smoothie world, and in fact, Howard Schultz, the CEO and chairman of Starbucks, is both a major investor and consulting director for Jamba Juice. [4] Smoothie King is the second largest smoothie franchise. The popularity of smoothies continues to grow throughout the country. The Mintel Group, a marketing research firm, estimates that smoothie sales will rise to $2.5 billion by 2010. [5]. (wikipedia.com)


A smoothie is a blended non-alcoholic 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 do not contain ice cream. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothie
