💡 What's interesting

Frozen fruit smoothies gained massive popularity in the 1990s and 2000s as part of the global health and fitness movement, often marketed as a 'superfood' meal replacement. Nutritionally, using frozen fruit instead of fresh can actually preserve more nutrients, as the fruit is typically flash-frozen at peak ripeness, locking in vitamins and antioxidants.
