F. False.
Most fruit smoothies are made with dairy (milk or yogurt), sugar and often ice — all of which can be problematic before singing. Dairy and heavy, creamy drinks tend to thicken or increase mucus/slime on the vocal folds; cold/icy drinks can tighten the throat; sugary or acidic fruit can leave a coating or trigger reflux.
Safer choices:
- Room-temperature water, sipped regularly
- Warm (not scalding) caffeine-free herbal tea or hot water with a little honey
- If you must have a smoothie, make it with water or a light non‑dairy milk (almond/oat), avoid citrus and lots of sugar, and skip ice — and leave several hours before performing.
Short version: avoid a typical fruit-and-yogurt smoothie right before a vocal performance.
