A
dessert-type
drink made by putting some
combination of
ice,
fruit,
fruit juice,
tofu,
ice cream,
coffee,
chocolate,
sherbet, etc in a
blender until
smooth (hence the name). Smoothies are usually
thick and
fruity. I think the best smoothies are based on
silken tofu, but all kinds of different stuff is used in the
industry. When made with
natural ingredients, smoothies are very
tasty and highly
nutritious.
Plenty of smoothie joints can be found around college campuses nationwide, and there are also a plethora of health-food-slanted smoothie places emerging all over, such as Jamba Juice.
