Get ready to celebrate National Smoothie Day on June 21! This day has been celebrated since the mid-1980s, when smoothies first became popular. A smoothie is a refreshing cold drink made of blended fruit, vegetables, and other ingredients such as yogurt or ice cream. They're a great way to get your daily portion of fruits and veggies in one delicious cup. So grab your favorite blender and start blending away for this special day!
