 | Healthy smoothies did not become popular until the mid-60s, when there was a rekindling of macrobiotic vegetarianism. Though there has been resurgence in the popularity of the smoothie in the past few years, smoothies have been around since the 1930s, when health food stores on the west coast began selling pureed fruit drinks. |
 | Milkshakes have been a cool comfort to Americans for generations. Add to the milkshake legacy by learning how to make blender milkshake recipes. |
When I think about spring and summer, I think of big, red, juicy strawberries and nice cold drinks on those warm, breezy days. By taking out the ice cream and using low-fat vanilla yogurt, this cold smoothie is not only refreshing, but healthy. |
Everyone loves smoothies. Tropical smoothies are a great way to escape the plain sweet taste of most smoothies, and the best way to keep your cool on a hot summer day. |
One of my favorite things about Spring and Summer is the availability of fresh fruits. All sorts of fruits from melons to berries are ripe for the picking and go great in many recipes. |
