Fresh fruit smoothies

Fresh fruit smoothies are a popular beverage in many Latin American cultures, known for their refreshing and nutritious flavor. Originating from the blend of tropical fruits abundant in the region, these smoothies combine tradition with the culinary creativity of each country. In Mexico, they are often called "licuados," while in countries like Colombia and Venezuela they are commonly known as "malteadas" or simply "batidos."
