Acai Smoothie shows the modern American smoothie bar at its most colorful. Brazilian-rooted ingredient adapted by U.S. smoothie bars. From mall kiosks and gym counters to airport juice bars, drinks like this turned fruit, vegetables, dairy, and boosters into a grab-and-go ritual. It is bright, practical, and part of the country's late-20th- and 21st-century drink culture.
