Smoothie King The The Shredder® Vanilla

Want to make the Smoothie King The Shredder® Vanilla at home? This homemade copycat recipe uses easy ingredients you can find anywhere and tastes just like the store version. It’s simple, protein-packed, and great as a post-workout treat.

How I Figured Out This Recipe

My first try was just vanilla protein, almond milk, and ice—tasted bland and was too thin, not at all like The Shredder® texture.
Then I added half a frozen banana and a scoop of Greek yogurt to thicken it and give it that smooth, shake-like feel while keeping the vanilla flavor bright. That combo nailed the store version!

The Shredder® Vanilla Ingredients

• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk: smooth, low-calorie base.
• ½ small frozen banana: makes it creamy and adds natural sweetness.
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder: gives that classic vanilla flavor and protein boost.
• 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt: thickens and adds creaminess without heaviness.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract: deepens the vanilla taste.
• 1 tbsp chia or flax seeds: adds fiber and helps thicken naturally.
• 1 cup ice: gives it a frosty, refreshing texture.

How to Make The Shredder® Vanilla (Copycat)

1. Add the basics: almond milk, frozen banana, vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, chia or flax seeds, and ice into your blender.
2. Blend until creamy: run on high until it’s thick, smooth, and well combined.
3. Taste and fix: too thick? add a splash more almond milk or water. Not vanilla-y enough? add a bit more protein powder or a drop more extract.
4. Serve immediately: drink it fresh and frosty for the real Smoothie King experience!

Why This Tastes Like the Smoothie King Version

• Vanilla protein powder and extract give that strong, classic vanilla flavor.
• Frozen banana and Greek yogurt make it thick and filling—just like The Shredder®.
• Chia or flax seeds help with that natural thickness and give extra fiber.
• Ice gives it a chilly, shake-like texture perfect for on-the-go.

Easy Tips and Swaps

• For vegan: use plant-based protein powder, dairy-free yogurt, and swap Greek yogurt accordingly.
• For nut-free: use oat or rice milk, and flax seeds instead of chia if needed.
• For extra protein: add another scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt.
• For low-carb: skip banana and use extra seeds or avocado to keep it thick.

How to Store Your Smoothie

• In the Fridge: Seal in a jar and keep for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking since separation can happen.
• In the Freezer : Freeze leftover smoothie in ice-cube trays. When ready, blend cubes with a splash of almond milk to recreate it fresh.
