Smoothie King Copycat Recipes

The Smoothie King Angel Food Smoothie is one of my favorite smoothies and a crowd favorite for Smoothie King fans. The ingredients are simple, strawberries, bananas, non-fat milk, and turbinado. This recipe adds its own twist with a dash of vanilla extract.

This recipe is an interpretation of the Smoothie King Pineapple Surf smoothie. The original recipe has strawberries, pineapples, kiwi apple juice blend, turbinado, and dairy whey blend. This recipe is a pretty close replica.

The only difference is that instead of using a dairy whey blend, they suggest you use milk or a milk substitute.

The original version of the Smoothie King Peanut Power Plus consists of bananas, peanut butter, dates, non-fat milk, and a protein blend.

This recipe interpretation adds cocoa powder and greek yogurt to the mix.

The Smoothie King Caribbean Way smoothie has a touch of the Caribbean with the addition of the papaya juice blend.

Adding banana, strawberries, and a little turbinado as a sweetener is a sure crowd-pleaser. This recipe closely mirrors the original Smoothie King recipe.

Bananas or strawberries, why choose one when you can have both? The Smoothie King Angel Food smoothie is easy to make.

Like the other Angel Food smoothie on our list, this recipe deviates from the original with the addition of vanilla.

Smoothie Kings Island impact is the perfect smoothie if you want to be whisked away to the Caribbean and lounge on a sun-kissed beach! I digress; back to smoothies.

This smoothie is a delicious blend of pineapples and mangoes, and the addition of a protein powder makes the perfect pick-me-up smoothie.

Mangoes are one of my favorite fruits for smoothies. They are delicious and packed with nutrients such as vitamin C, copper, and folate.

The original Smoothie King recipe has mangoes, apple pineapple juice blend, and papaya juice blend. This recipe provides a healthy boost with the addition of spinach.

If you are looking for a quick, easy, and fun breakfast smoothie, this smoothie should be on your list. This recipe is another interpretation of Smoothie Kings’ famous Peanut Butter Plus Chocolate.

This take on the smoothie king recipe doesn’t have strawberries; however, the addition of yogurt gives it a unique flavor.

History of Smoothie King

Smoothie King is a household name amongst smoothie lovers. It was established in 1973 when founder Steve Kuhnau began experimenting with blending fruits, nutrients, and proteins at his home.

The company has evolved over the years and committed to blending a more nutritious smoothie with organic veggies, more whole fruits, and no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors.

Smoothie Tips

Mixing smoothies is one of our favorite past times. Here are a few tips to start you off on your smoothie journey.

  • A high-end blender is a must for smoothie fanatics.
  • Consider using frozen fruits to get a thick, creamy smoothie.
  • If you are busy, consider prepping the ingredients the night before.
  • Use natural sweeteners. Two of our favorites are ripe bananas and dates.
  • Bananas are an excellent way to disguise the taste of greens.
  • Add avocado to get a creamy texture. It has a very mild flavor so that you won’t taste it.
  • Use mini ice cubes; they will put less strain on your blender.
  • Adding oats or nut butter will make your smoothie more filling.

Common Problems

  • How to make a smoothie thicker – If you want to thicken your smoothie, you can add chia seeds, ice, frozen fruit, flax seed powder, oats, yogurt, or a banana.
  • How to make a smoothie thinner – If your smoothie is too thick, add a splash of water and blend. Continue doing this until you have the consistency you prefer. Keep in mind that adding too much water can dilute the taste, so consider adding fruit juice instead.
  • How to sweeten a smoothie – Many Smoothie King recipes use turbinado to sweeten their smoothies. However, there are numerous alternatives. A few that come to mind are dates, ripe bananas, and honey.  

What Is Turbinado Sugar?

  • Turbinado sugar is minimally processed and refined sugar. The brown crystals come from the natural molasses in the sugar cane. Smoothie King uses turbinado sugar to make their smoothie. 

How Does Smoothie King Make Their Smoothies?

Smoothie King has the ingredients for all their smoothies on their website. They tend to use a combination of the same ingredients. Common ingredients are strawberries, bananas, turbinado, yogurt, and non-fat milk. When combining the ingredients, you can add them in the following order: liquids first, then soft fruits or vegetables, greens, and ice or frozen fruits on top.
