This year, Americans will guzzle down $6 million worth of commercially blended smoothies and countless vats of homemade snacks and meals contained in a single glass.
Smoothies have jumped out of the health food stores and into cafes, duking it out with specialty coffees as the "grande" drink of choice. What role does this popular drink have in a healthy diet? Some say that smoothies are a valuable way to get the recommended daily intake of 5-10 fruits and veggies. Just make sure that the one your downing contains at least a half a cup of liquid and fruits or vegetables.
