Today we bring you a perfect recipe for your summer breakfasts or snacks: an açai, mango, banana and blueberry smoothie with La Newyorkina handmade granola topping . First of all, and in case you're new to this exciting world of healthy eating, I'm going to give you a brief introduction to the smoothieuniverse.
What is a smoothie?
The
smoothie is something like the first cousin of the milkshake, the difference lies in its texture, which is much creamier and smoother than that of a traditional milkshake. Not for nothing,
smooth in English means soft. In addition, the
smoothies are composed of a liquid base (milk, yoghurt, ice cream, fruit juice or water), solid ingredients (fruit or vegetables) and ice (frozen fruit or yoghurt is also useful). But the idea is to serve it very cold. Never forget the frozen element as you would be losing the essence of the
smoothie. In short, it's something like a very creamy, smooth and icy milkshake. Wow, perfect for a summer afternoon, don't you think? It sounds very modern, but the concept
smoothie was born in California in the 1930s and became popular in the United States in the late 1960s as a result of the
boom of vegetarianism. As you can see, everything has been invented and what is a trend at the gates of 2020 was already enjoyed at the beginning of the last century.
