Where Did Smoothies Come From?
Smoothies have been around for a long time, some in their crudest forms since several centuries in most cultures. Indians have been drinking Mango Lassi for decades. It’s a blend of fresh mangoes and yogurt, a sweet and refreshing drink in summers.
Smoothies took over the US with the advent of the blender in the late 30s. The 60s and 70s were dominated by the Hippie Movement and people started eating healthier diets, this led to the rising popularity of smoothies.
Recently, Vitamix’s Blender has reignited the craze for healthy drinks made with vegetables, fruits, and plant-based milk.
