Smoothie lovers have some great options in the Hudson Valley area.

A smoothie is a beverage made by pureeing ingredients in a blender. A smoothie commonly has a liquid base, such as fruit juice or milk, yogurt or ice cream. Other ingredients may be added, including fruits, vegetables, non-dairy milk, crushed ice, whey powder or nutritional supplements. According to National Day Calendar, National Smoothie Day is celebrated annually on June 21.
