What’s in the Angel Food™?
The Official Smoothie King Version
It’s a blend of strawberries, banana, nonfat milk, vanilla flavor, and turbinado for a sweet, dessert-like smoothie.
Our Homemade Copycat Version
We use frozen fruit, almond milk, a splash of vanilla, and a touch of honey or maple syrup for that same nostalgic flavor—with fewer processed ingredients.
Angel Food™ Ingredients
- Frozen Strawberries: 1 cup—adds sweet, fruity flavor and gives the smoothie a cool, thick texture.
- Frozen Banana: 1 medium banana—makes the smoothie smooth, creamy, and naturally sweet.
- Unsweetened Almond Milk: ¾ cup—keeps it light and dairy-free while blending everything together.
- Vanilla Extract: ½ tsp—brings in that classic vanilla milkshake flavor.
- Honey or Maple Syrup (Optional): 1 tsp—adds sweetness to mimic the turbinado sugar in the original.
- Ice Cubes: ½ cup—makes it colder and thicker, just like a Smoothie King smoothie.
How to Make the Angel Food™ at Home
- Start with your liquid: Pour almond milk into the blender to help everything blend smoothly.
- Add frozen fruits: Add your frozen banana and strawberries to build the creamy base.
- Flavor it up: Add vanilla extract and a bit of honey or maple syrup, if using.
- Add ice and blend: Blend everything on high for 45–60 seconds until thick and creamy.
- Taste and adjust: Too thick? Add a splash more milk. Too tart? Add a bit more sweetener.

Why This Recipe is a Perfect Copycat
- Creamy and Sweet: Just like Smoothie King’s original with that rich, vanilla-strawberry flavor.
- Simple and Clean: No artificial flavors or added sugar—just fruit, milk, and natural vanilla.
- Dairy-Free Option: We use almond milk, but it’s easy to swap if you prefer dairy.
- Perfect Texture: Frozen fruit + ice = that smoothie shop consistency we all love.
Easy Tips and Swaps
- Make it Vegan: Use maple syrup instead of honey.
