The basic smoothie - fruit, yogurt and ice whirled in a blender - has been popular on the West Coast since the ’70s. Smoothies became a fixture at health clubs and juice bars during the last decade, and now smoothie bars are starting to pop up. ““People look at smoothies as a meal replacement,’’ says Isenberg. ““They’re quick, and they’re perceived as healthy.’’ When they’re made with fat-free yogurt and fresh fruit, smoothies are healthful, but they can deliver up to 500 calories....

Giorgos Karagounis has been lucky to an extent that he will be spending a year in the Premier League at the ripe old age of 35, after being thrown on the scrapheap by Panathinaikos at the end of his contract with the Greek club.

Bringing his memoir to the stage “wasn’t my idea,” Byrne told Newsweek. It was Anne Clarke, the producer.

Galchenyuk used a sweeping deke to get around a defender, faked a move behind the net that fooled Markstrom and stuffed the puck in against the near post. “I came in with a little bit of speed and went behind the net and I saw the goalie was looking the other way, so was like, ‘Might as well,’” Galchenyuk said....
