Can a Smoothie Be Salty?
A big misconception is that smoothies are always sweet, or should be sweet. This is not accurate.
A smoothie essentially means smooth blended/pureed food. It doesn’t just have to be blended fruit, it can contain anything you like.
So yes, smoothies can absolutely be salted and savory.

Savory smoothies are perfect for individuals who are on a low-sugar diet, or for people who struggle to digest fruit well.
Furthermore, a savory smoothie would suit an individual who simply prefers savory food to sweet food.
A savory smoothie can also be a nice meal replacement because a savory smoothie is basically a blended soup. It’s a nice meal to have on the go!
