According to Smoothie King, Kuhnau was the true inventor of the original fruit blended drink mixture we now call a Smoothie.

Eventually Kuhnau teamed up with fellow health food enthusiast and future wife, Cindy Kuhnau, who was particularly interested in nutritional products such as healthy fruit smoothies in their ability to act as an alternative treatment to medication in helping with certain health conditions. It was her idea to turn one of the Smoothie stores into Smoothie King Franchise, the franchise operation and apparently "built Smoothie King's Operations and Training from the ground up" according to Smoothie King, smoothie company corporate website.
