well-beaten

Mixed until smooth

Well-beaten describes something that has been beaten thoroughly.

A well-beaten path has been traveled so often that the ground is packed hard and the route clearly visible: We followed the well-beaten trail to the summit.

In cooking, well-beaten eggs have been whisked until uniformly smooth and often frothy.
