What’s in the Vegan Nutty Super Grain?
The Official Smoothie King Version
Smoothie King’s version blends banana, peanut butter, cocoa, apple juice, vegan protein, and a “Super Grains” mix of seeds and oats.
Our Homemade Copycat Version
We recreate that flavor and texture with frozen banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla vegan protein, oats, flaxseed, and apple juice.
Vegan Nutty Super Grain Ingredients
- Frozen Banana: 1 large banana—adds creaminess and natural sweetness to balance the rich peanut butter and cocoa.
- Natural Peanut Butter: 2 tablespoons—gives this smoothie its rich, nutty flavor and a dose of healthy fats.
- Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder: 1 scoop—adds creaminess and makes it a complete, plant-powered meal.
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: 1 tablespoon—gives that deep chocolate flavor without added sugar.
- Ground Flaxseed: 1 tablespoon—adds omega-3s, fiber, and replicates part of the “super grains” blend.
- Rolled Oats: 2 tablespoons—gives a hearty, slightly chewy texture and adds slow-digesting carbs.
- Unsweetened Apple Juice: ¾ cup—adds subtle sweetness and helps blend everything together.
- Ice Cubes: ½ cup—makes it cold and thick without diluting the flavor.
How to Make the Vegan Nutty Super Grain at Home
- Start with your liquid and grains: Add apple juice, oats, and flaxseed to your blender first to help them soften and blend smoothly.
- Add protein and flavor: Add banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and protein powder for the creamy, rich base.
- Top with ice and blend: Add ice and blend on high until thick, smooth, and creamy—about 45–60 seconds.
- Taste and adjust: Want it richer? Add more peanut butter. Too thick? Splash in more juice or almond milk.

Why This Recipe is a Perfect Copycat

Easy Tips and Swaps
- No apple juice? Use almond milk or oat milk for a creamy, less sweet version.
- Boost the Grains: Add chia seeds or hemp hearts to the flax and oats.
- Want it sweeter? Add a pitted date or a drizzle of maple syrup.
- No Cocoa? Use cacao powder or skip for a more peanut-forward flavor.
How to Store Your Smoothie
- In the Fridge: Store in a jar with a lid for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking—grains may settle.
- In the Freezer: Freeze in a jar or ice cube trays. Blend with a little extra juice or milk to rehydrate.

FAQs
- Can I use steel-cut oats instead of rolled?
Not recommended—they won’t blend smoothly unless pre-cooked or soaked overnight. - What’s the best peanut butter to use?
Natural, unsweetened peanut butter (just peanuts and salt) for the cleanest, richest flavor. - Can I skip the banana?
Yes, but it’ll be less creamy. Swap in frozen avocado or extra oats and ice.
