Offers and gifts at Jamba Juice, Smoothie King
If you’re trying to beat the heat and quench your thirst on a hot summer day, you might be in luck.
National Smoothie Day is June 21st and celebrates this blended dessert that comes in a variety of flavors. Smoothies are often made with ice cream, milk, yogurt, or fruit juice. This treat can be enjoyed with fruits or vegetables and is often used as an alternative to get the nutrients we need.
It’s unclear when the first smoothie was created, but Eastern and Mediterranean cultures are thought to have been creating fruit drinks similar to smoothies for hundreds of years, the Juice Shop said. In 1932, Stephen J. Poplawski received patents for a machine that would liquefy fruits and vegetables, the Illinois State Museum said.
As the use of refrigerators and blenders became more popular, fruit drinks became a popular refreshment. By the 1960s, smoothies were at the forefront of the macrobiotic diet, prompting many Americans to think about how and what they ate, according to the Juice Shop.
Whether you’re drinking a smoothie as a healthy alternative or grabbing one to quench your thirst, you’ll want to check out your favorite smoothie shop for their National Smoothie Day deals and giveaways.
