The smoothie recipe for success: drinking with a clear conscience |
|
CH, February 2008  | What is a smoothie? Unlike classic fruit juices, smoothies are made in the mixer with whole fruits, all except the peel and core. Once it has been purified, the fruit pulp is mixed with freshly squeezed juice until the right consistency has been attained. A smoothie should feel as smooth as velvet in the mouth – hence the name smoothie! |
Who first created it? *Smoothies come originally from the USA. Stephan Kuhnau developed the drink in New Orleans in 1960. Kuhnau suffered from food allergies and was diabetic. He began to mix fresh fruit with various food supplements in order to alleviate his symptoms. His state of health improved as a consequence, so he opened a "smoothie shop" in 1973. Who drinks smoothies? Nowadays, smoothies can be found in many countries including Australia, the USA, Brazil and the UK as ready-made products for catering and retail. The craze has also taken hold in Europe. Where can you find smoothies in Switzerland? Selecta now offers smoothies in 2 different flavours to provide a quick vitamin fix when you’re on the move and are readily available from the red vending machines that can be found everywhere. mySmoothie drinks are a mixture of 100% pure fruit and juice, with no additives or preservatives. They meet the requirements of a snack between meals that is bursting with vitamins and nutrients. Everyone recognises the importance of eating a sufficient amount of fruit on a daily basis. The opaque Tetra packaging has no adverse affect on the taste and increases the shelf-life of the fruit juice.
