The strawberry and banana smoothie is a refreshing and nutritious beverage that has gained popularity in many Latin American countries and around the world. Its origin is related to the tradition of using fresh, natural fruits to create delicious and healthy combinations, a practice deeply rooted in tropical cultures where these fruits are abundant. In Mexico, this type of smoothie is simply known as "licuado de fresa y plátano" while in other countries like Argentina or Chile it is also called "batido de frutilla y banana". In Caribbean countries, it may appear under similar names, emphasizing the freshness of its ingredients.
