The berry smoothie is a popular beverage that has gained recognition in various regions due to its refreshing taste and high nutritional value. Its origin dates back to the culinary traditions of communities that took advantage of the wild fruits available in their natural environments. In Latin America, this preparation goes by different names depending on the country: in Mexico and Central America it is known as "licuado de frutas", while in countries like Argentina and Chile it is simply called "batido de frutas". The creamy base is usually made with fermented or dairy ingredients that provide texture and health benefits, such as kefir or yogurt.
This type of smoothie has evolved over time, incorporating superfoods and natural sweeteners that make it a healthy option for those looking to take care of their diet without sacrificing taste. Furthermore, the versatility of the berries used allows for different combinations and vibrant colors that appeal to both children and adults.
