The term “vitamina” in Brazil refers to a fruit smoothie. Generally, these drinks are made by blending fruit, vegetables, or other ingredients—like chocolate or vanilla—with milk, water, or yogurt. Depending on the region and ingredients, they can be known as milkshakes or frappes, and are often sweetened with sugar, honey, or condensed milk. While milkshakes typically rely on ice cream for thickness, fruit smoothies are often favored by health-conscious individuals for a nutritious breakfast or a quick energy-boosting snack.
