Smoothies are thick, blended beverages, usually made from a variety of fruits, though sometimes yogurt or ice is added.
As an easily consumed beverage, smoothies are an effective way to get several servings of fruits in a single drink. Smoothie companies became more prominent in the 1990s and advertise a health-conscious lifestyle.

Smoothie Nutrition
Though most smoothies are composed primarily of fruit, they can have a very high sugar content. Smoothies from major chains are often especially high in sugar, and can replace fruit with fruit juice. Jamba Juice's Citrus Squeeze is made of orange juice, pineapple juice and strawberries, and contains 440 calories, four grams of fiber, and 97 grams of sugar. Its greatest health benefit is the extremely high dose of vitamin C. Healthy smoothie consumers should make sure to incorporate less sugar and more fibrous fruits, such as bananas and raspberries.
