* An American company (JML Power Blitzers) manufacturing kitchen blenders does this to demonstrate exactly how tough its products are. Unlikely items up to and including a whole laptop computer have been ground to powder in the promotional videos.
** Blendtec has been running a similar campaign on their [[http://www.willitblend.com Will it Blend?]] web series for years. It helps that the blenders are made of a material similar to bulletproof glass.

* Subverted in ''Film/StoneCold'', where the protagonist makes a smoothie out of all sorts of odd ingredients (vegetables, raw meat, leftover pizza, candy bars, etc.), but it turns out to just be food for his pet iguana. The lizard doesn't seem to want it, either.

* ''Series/{{CSI}}'' has an episode where [[spoiler: Someone makes such a shake using human organs.]]
* A staple of ''Series/FearFactor'' round 2.

* Pictured above: in the ''Series/{{Monk}}'' episode "Mr. Monk Is On The Run, Part 1", Monk is on the lam, and seeks refuge in Natalie's house. Natalie needs a cordless drill to remove the shackles on Monk's jumpsuit. But Randy happens to be there, also looking for Monk. To distract Randy, Natalie claims that her blender broke. She then puts a bunch of random, and very questionable ingredients into a pitcher, then uses the drill to ground them all together. This results in a very disgusting looking material in the pitcher, from which Natalie takes a sip:

* British milkshake chain Shakeaway offer a "Wicked Wendy" milkshake, consisting of licorice allsorts, beetroot, and custard. They advertise it as "[[OurProductSucks The world's worst milkshake]]".

* ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'': {{Exaggerated|Trope}} with the Bacterial Meatshake, a concoction of meat slurry and the virulent ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrio_vulnificus Vibrio vulnificus.]]'' Given the infinite diversity of life in the [[TheMultiverse Perception Range]], it's probably [[AlienLunch lunch]] for ''something'', but Fern [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/758.html mixes it up]] as emetic bait for an AnimalisticAbomination dolphin.

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', after he's forbidden to bring Creator/RedBull in the house, Peter resorts to making his homemade version in a blender, adding various food cans, beer, and [[LethallyStupid kerosene]] into the mix. The result damages his kidneys and ends up requiring a transplant.

* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'': ''Film/TheKillerShrews'' episode involves a drink called the Killer Shrew, which includes a candy bar with the wrapper on, among other very sugary foods.
''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Some of the drinks Mrs. Davis, a CordonBleughChef, prepares for Miss Brooks at breakfast fall into this category.

* ''Series/TopGear'': The "Man's V8" made with the V8 blender. (Starting with raw beef, and finishing with a brick)

* Happens in the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' spinoff manga ''[[Manga/TouhouBougetsushou Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth]]''. Kaguya is trying to lose weight, so Eirin mentions several different diets - the Banana Diet, the Yogurt Diet and the [[StockYuck Natto Diet]]. Cue Tewi fixing up a Banana Yogurt Natto Smoothie.

* In the second ''Film/TheNakedGun'' movie, Jane makes such a shake while talking to Frank. Some ingredients include a string of sausages and a candy bar (with the wrapper still on).

* ''Literature/GreatLiesToTellSmallKids'': "Everyone loves a meat smoothie!" And it shows the kid chucking in steak, lamb chops, sausages...

[[folder:Webcomics]]

* The [[NightmareFuel Godawful Smoothie]] from ''Roleplay/RubyQuest''

* ''Advertising/WillItBlend''

* Krieger in ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': "The secret ingredient is... phone."

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' had Ben almost obsessively drinking smoothies. When Gwen asks him how many he's had, he tells her "Enough to know that chocolate and carrot are two great tastes that ''don't'' go great together.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' has [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Mabel's]] culinary specialty, Mabel Juice. We've seen two variants so far; a pink liquid full of glitter, sugar cubes, and plastic dinosaurs, and a green liquid full of dice and a single troll doll. Of course, the second mixture is only seen in an ordinary glass, not a blender, but since it's referred to as the same substance, it was probably blended first.

* At the end of one episode of ''[[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Total Drama Action]]'', Owen, while high on pain medication after having his teeth smashed during a challenge, mixes potato chips with cola in a blender and drinks the resulting mixture.

* RealLife: Monkey House Rocket Fuel is a smoothie for college students who need to cram for all-nighters: Use caffeinated water to brew coffee, then brew another pot of coffee with the coffee. Then add to caffeinated ice cream such as Ben & Jerry's "Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz", Penguin Mints, chocolate syrup, and add 1 cup of sugar, then blend. Washing down a fistful of caffeine tablets with a glass of chocolate milkshake or something might be equally effective and a lot less laborious, but nowhere near as tasty.

* ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'' takes this UpToEleven with the Bacterial Meatshake, a concoction of meat slurry and the highly virulent ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrio_vulnificus Vibrio vulnificus]]''. Given the infinite variety of life in {{the Multiverse}} of the Perception Range, it's probably an AlienLunch for ''something'', but Fern [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/758.html mixes it up]] to [[spoiler:serve as emetic bait for an AnimalisticAbomination dolphin]].
