This isn't a standalone dish, but a common technique for enhancing a fruit smoothie. It involves blending a thickening ingredient—like frozen banana, avocado, oats, or yogurt—directly into the smoothie to create a richer, creamier, and more satisfying texture. The practice is universal in modern smoothie culture, originating from health-focused kitchens worldwide.
