shaken drink
A drink that is made by mixing milk, ice cream and other ingredients is called a smoothie. Known as a milkshake , smoothie or malteada depending on the region, the shake can include chocolate or fruits , for example.
The key to obtaining the traditional smoothie consistency is the energy put into blending. That is why it is common to prepare the drink with a blender , since it is complicated manually. By whisking vigorously, the mixture thickens and receives air, giving the batter a smooth texture.
Smoothies can be a convenient and tasty way to consume vitamins and nutrients , as long as they are prepared properly and include healthy, balanced ingredients , such as fruits, vegetables and proteins. Furthermore, as they are consumed in a single portion, they are ideal for eating well in a short time and without exceeding the quantity.
beaten eggs
Various preparations are known as beaten eggs . The expression may refer to the mixture of egg , milk and sugar that is beaten. Beaten eggs or scrambled eggs can also consist of eggs that are beaten and then cooked in a pan with some fatty substance until they begin to curdle.
beaten gold
Beaten gold is generated when this metal is flattened and reduced to small sheets. This material is used for gilding.
To achieve beaten gold, the gold must be hammered until it becomes extremely thin sheets (sometimes only a few microns thick). In this process, repeated blows are made with a special hammer . The sheets are usually translucent, thin enough to allow light to pass through them.
Beaten gold has historically been used in various cultures to decorate valuable objects , such as furniture, sculptures, pieces of religious art, and high-end jewelry. Due to its delicate nature, beaten gold is handled with care and is often applied to previously prepared surfaces.
Today, the term beaten gold can also figuratively refer to monetary or investments in gold, suggesting that something is extremely valuable or precious, similar to how this metal is considered in financial and cultural terms.
clay
The idea of clay , on the other hand, refers to fine earth that is crushed and compressed. Called clay in some regions, clay is used as a surface on tennis courts.

The term clay also refers to a surface used in sports such as tennis and paddle tennis. This is a playing field that is covered with a layer of the material described above. This surface is porous and is usually red, orange or brown due to the properties of the material used.
Clay court is known for offering certain unique playing characteristics compared to other surfaces. The ball typically bounces higher and decelerates upon contact with the surface, allowing for longer rallies and the opportunity to hit shots with more spin.
On the other hand, clay tends to wear down over time and can form small irregularities that can affect the bounce and direction of the ball. This surface is especially common in tennis tournaments such as the French Open (Roland Garros) .
