National Smoothie Day 2023: Date, History, Facts, Activities

Some things simply belong together, such as peanut butter and jelly, peas and vegetables, and naps and rain. Yes, a high-citrus blend may help combat vitamin D deficiency during the winter, but we believe smoothies are best suited for the summer. The celebration of National Smoothie Day occurs on June 21, the first day of summer. Celebrate National Smoothie Day in style by blending together food, family, and outdoor enjoyment on the first day of summer. Add your favourite combination of sweet juices, sour fruits, crisp vegetables, and scrumptious surprise ingredients to convey your own personal take on summer’s flavour.

The background of National Smoothie Day

Smoothies are an easy method to provide vitamins, fibre, and protein to the body. Smoothies are frequently used as a post-workout supplement because they contain essential nutrients that aid in recovery. Smoothies can be served hot or chilled, depending on the weather, the time of day, or the individual’s preference. Create your own unique blend of ingredients and discover the flavour that best complements the scene. Smoothie ingredients are straightforward and require no cooking or extensive preparation. Typically consisting of fruits, vegetables, grains, yoghurt, and ice, a simple supper requires only a blender. By the mid-1930s, the term “smoothie” was being used in recipes and trademarks.Due to the advent of the electric blender, West Coast health food stores began selling smoothies.

FACTS ON AMERICA’S LARGEST SMOOTHIE CHAIN

Prior to the establishment of the corporation, Jamba Juice was Kirk Perron’s “senior project” at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly).

The company operates over 875 locations in 26 U.S. states, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates.

A play on the African word jama, which means “to celebrate.”

Jamba Juice’s secret menu includes beverages made with, to name a few, Fruity Pebbles, gummy bears, and Pink Starburst.

Ok, so not exactly, but in 2006, the company was acquired for $265 million by Services Acquisition, which was led by the former CEO of Blockbuster, Steven Berrard.
