Smoothies became widely known in the 70s of the 20th century, when active promotion of healthy eating began.
In Russia, smoothies became popular at the end of the 80s. Those who watched their diet and appearance began to actively include smoothies in their menu.
Cosmetologists often recommend smoothies to those who want to have healthy skin, as these cocktails are able to moisturize the skin from the inside.
The usefulness of the drink is that it is prepared from fresh vegetables, herbs, fruits or berries without heat treatment. Therefore, all the useful substances of the ingredients are preserved. Smoothie quickly saturates the body with vitamins, invigorates and perfectly satisfies hunger.
For the preparation of this drink, it is better to use ripe bananas. They are considered the most useful, as they are easier to digest and assimilate.
You can make a smoothie thicker by adding more bananas and strawberries, but the consistency of the drink should be such that it can be drunk through a straw.
If desired, you can add ice to the cocktail, then you will get a cool drink that will perfectly refresh on a hot summer day.
