Smoothies originated in Brazil back in the 1930s. Shortly thereafter, recipes for “banana smoothies” and “pineapple smoothies” were published in several cookbooks. In present times, smoothies can contain all kinds of fruits, vegetables and even powdered dietary supplements. They can be prepared with soda-pop or even alcohol and can be served as cocktails.
