PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a smoothie beverage which has the original feeling on the tongue and feeling to the throat of a smoothie beverage, by suppressing precipitation of solid by gelatinizing a content, and completely fluidizing by shaking a container or mixing the gelatinized content before drinking, and a method for producing the same.SOLUTION: A smoothie beverage 1 is obtained by filling a container with a slurry-like liquid made by crushing vegetables, and an agar solution containing agar so as to bring a percentage content after mixing with the slurry-like liquid to 0.15-0.45 wt.% subjecting the product to low-temperature heat sterilization followed by cooling to gelatinize and shaking the sealed container or mixing the gelatinized content before drinking. A method for producing the smoothie beverage 1 includes using highly viscoelastic agar or high jelly strength agar as agar, and not straining the slurry-like liquid so as to make the taste close to the original feeling on the tongue and feeling to the throat of the smoothie beverage 1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】内容物をゲル化して固形分の沈殿を抑制するとともに、飲用の前に容器を振とうさせる又はゲル化した内容物をかき混ぜることで完全に流動化させ、スムージー本来の舌触りや喉ごしを有するスムージー飲料及びスムージー飲料の製造方法の提供。【解決手段】青果物を破砕したスラリー状液と、前記スラリー状液との混合後の含有率が0.15~0.45重量%となるように寒天を含有させた寒天溶液と、を密閉容器に充填し、低温加熱殺菌を施した後に冷却することでゲル化させるとともに、飲用の前に前記密閉容器を振とうさせる又はゲル化した内容物をかき混ぜるスムージー飲料1。また、寒天に高粘弾性寒天、又は高ゼリー強度寒天を用いること、及びスラリー状液を裏ごししないことで、よりスムージー1本来の舌触りや喉ごしに近づけた味とするスムージー飲料1の製造方法。【選択図】図1
