A kind of smoothie or milkshake available in Miami and probably elsewhere in Latin America, a batido (literally, "a beaten thing") consists of fresh or frozen fruit, ice, milk or yogurt, sugar or honey, and sometimes other flavorings. The ingredients are puréed in a blender.

Popular batido flavors include:

• mango
• frutabomba (papaya)
• mamey
• plátano (ripe plantain)
• melón (melon)
• piña (pineapple)

and are ordered or referred to as "un batido de [your favorite flavor]".
