Where was the Brazilian smoothie born? In São Paulo? In Bahia? It’s a terrible question from an unknown cradle, with unknown parents; it was adopted by countless people, by thousands of people…
It’s Brazilian, it’s yellow-green! Brazilian smoothies are a national institution. There is no typical dish in our cuisine that starts well without one or two well-chilled smoothies.
The cocktail was born in the United States and today it is universal. Our Brazilian smoothies are heading towards that. The day will come!
The variety is immense! With our Brazilian smoothies recipes, you can recreate your own. Pineapple will serve as a base for other fruit juices: orange, melon, starfruit, etc. When the fruit has a strong flavor, gradually add the juice and note down the measurements for future times.
But don’t overdo it! Also, remember that the sweeter the drink, the quicker it goes up…
