Want to make the Smoothie King Metabolism Boost Mango Ginger at home? This homemade copycat recipe uses easy ingredients you can find anywhere and tastes just like the store version. It’s simple, healthy, and saves you money.
How I Figured Out This Recipe
When I first tried making this one, it tasted right—but it was way too thin. I wanted that perfect Smoothie King texture, so I played around with the ice and fruit amounts until it hit that silky thick spot.
Then I realized the zing was missing. I added a full teaspoon of fresh grated ginger—just enough for a spicy kick without overpowering the mango sweetness. Now it’s exactly like the real deal!
Metabolism Boost Mango Ginger Ingredients
- 1/2 frozen banana: adds creaminess and natural sweetness.
- 1 tsp fresh grated ginger: I love the spicy metabolism kick.
- 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks: gives that tropical mango flavor.
- 1 cup spinach: for a green boost without taste.
- 1/2 cup white grape juice: adds fruity body and sweetness.
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice: brightens and balances flavors.
- 1/3 cup vanilla whey protein powder: muscle fuel and smoothie body.
- 1 cup ice: thickens it up.
- Optional: 1 scoop collagen boost for extra protein and skin benefits.
How to Make Metabolism Boost Mango Ginger (Copycat)
- Add the basics: banana, ginger, mango, spinach, juice, lemon, protein powder, and ice into your blender.
- Blend slowly, then bump to high until it’s smooth and thick.
- Taste and fix: too thick? Add a splash more grape juice. Not sweet or zingy enough? Add a bit more lemon or ginger.
- Pour and enjoy right away or chill it for later.

Why This Tastes Like the Smoothie King Version
- It’s got real tropical fruit (banana + mango) to match the signature flavor.
- Fresh ginger gives that metabolism-boosting spice punch.
- Vanilla whey gives protein and that creamy mouthfeel.
- Ice + frozen fruit = thick, spoonable texture like the original.
Easy Tips and Swaps
- Swap vanilla whey with vegan vanilla protein for a plant-based option.
- Use fresh fruit and add extra ice if frozen isn’t available.
- Want more fiber? Toss in chia seeds or oats.
- Make it sweeter naturally by adding a few berries or a drop of honey.
