Is smoothies a mixture or solution?

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. The solute (the substance present in the lesser amount) is dissolved in the solvent (the substance present in the greater amount). The solute and solvent interact at the molecular level, and the resulting solution has a uniform composition throughout.

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded together. The components of a mixture can be separated by physical means, such as filtration, distillation, or chromatography. Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous. A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition throughout, while a heterogeneous mixture has a non-uniform composition.

Smoothies are typically made by blending fruits, vegetables, yogurt, and/or other ingredients. The ingredients in a smoothie are not chemically bonded together, so the smoothie is a mixture. Smoothies can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous, depending on how they are made. If the ingredients are blended until they are completely smooth, the smoothie will be homogeneous. If the ingredients are not blended completely, the smoothie will be heterogeneous.
