smoothie

Blender breakfast drink

A smoothie is a thick, creamy drink made by blending fruit, ice, and often yogurt, milk, or juice.

The name reflects the drink's smooth texture.

Smoothies became popular as a health food in the late 20th century and now appear on café menus everywhere, sometimes with added protein powder or greens.

I grab a smoothie on my way to the gym.

The older sense of smoothie—a person who is suave or slick—still appears occasionally but sounds dated.
