Licuados (also known regionally as batidos) are a Latin American handmade blended beverage similar to smoothies, made with milk, fruit, and usually ice.[1] They are also sometimes called "preparados" (meaning "prepared").[2]
Licuados and other fresh fruit juice drinks are ubiquitous throughout Mexico.[3] They are sold by street vendors, and in special licuado shops, restaurants, and fruterias (restaurants specializing in fresh fruit).[3][4]
