Yogurt Smoothie Recipe

Smoothies originated from Brazil, and became a popular selling pureed fruit drink in the 1930s in America. The term 'smoothie' was used by all the books, magazines and newspapers, as this drink is made in a blender and chilled. Don't confuse them with milk shakes, even though both are made of milk products, but unlike milkshakes, they don't contain ice cream. Yogurt is popularly known and eaten for its many health benefits, and when added with fruit and nuts, it just increases its health factor. Easy to make, the following yogurt smoothie recipes are power packed with nutrition and health.
