Morphology
The meaning 'a cold, blended beverage that is thirst‑quenching and invigorating' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'refreshing' (produces renewed energy) with 'smoothie' (a blended fruit drink). This adjective + noun composition follows a standard, cross‑linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Refreshing smoothie comes from the simple image of fruit and ice blended until very smooth and cold, so the smoothie feels cool and 'refreshing' to drink. That's why it now means 'a cold, thirst-quenching and energizing' drink.
