A smoothie is a thick fruit or vegetable drink. The most common smoothie base is banana. The thick consistency of the smoothie is created by the pulp of the fruit, since the drink is not filtered, but simply ground in a blender. Unlike freshly squeezed juices, which are also rich in vitamins, smoothies create a long-lasting feeling of fullness, precisely because of their thick consistency. A banana smoothie can be taken with you as a snack to work or before a workout.
