Get Relief from the Heat with a Healthy Smoothie

Have you ever wondered where smoothies came from? Well, they originated on the American West Coast in the 1930s when health food stores began serving puréed fruit drinks.

They continued to grow in popularity, and became a favorite of the Hippie generation in the 60s and 70s. In the 80s, independent smoothie shops began popping up all over the country.

An innovative teenager in the 70s, Steve Kuhnau, tired of having to forego milk shakes due to his lactose intolerance, began blending his favorite fruits with ice. The wildly popular Smoothie King franchise was born.

If you are a lemon lover, try this luscious lemon twist smoothie:

1/4 cup lemon

1/4 cup papaya chunks

1/4 cup frozen strawberries

1/4 cup turbinado sugar

1 TB honey

1 cup water

1 1-2 cups ice

Blend all together until slushy. Serve with a smile.
