Smoothie King Banana Berry Treat® Recipe

This Banana Berry Treat® is a fruity and creamy recipe that uses frozen berries, banana, and juice.
This homemade copycat is refreshing, naturally sweet, and tastes just like the original you’d get from Smoothie King.

What’s in the Banana Berry Treat®?

The Official Smoothie King Version
It features strawberries, blueberries, banana, a juice blend (like papaya or pear), turbinado sugar, and a creamy base.

Our Homemade Copycat Version
We recreate that flavor with frozen fruit, unsweetened juice, almond milk, and an optional splash of maple syrup for a sweet boost.

Banana Berry Treat® Ingredients

• Frozen Strawberries: ½ cup—adds fruity brightness and a thick, cold base.
• Frozen Blueberries: ½ cup—adds deep berry flavor and antioxidants.
• Frozen Banana: 1 medium banana—brings sweetness and creamy texture.
• Unsweetened Pear Juice (or white grape juice): ½ cup—adds natural sweetness and blends everything together.
• Unsweetened Almond Milk: ½ cup—adds creaminess without extra sugar or dairy.
• Maple Syrup (Optional): 1 tsp—for a touch of added sweetness if your fruit isn’t super ripe.
• Ice Cubes: ½ cup—chills and thickens the smoothie for that Smoothie King texture.

How to Make the Banana Berry Treat® at Home

1. Add your liquids first: Start with the pear juice and almond milk to help everything blend smoothly.
2. Add your fruits: Toss in frozen banana, strawberries, and blueberries for that thick, fruity blend.
3. Add flavor and texture: Add ice and maple syrup (if using), then blend on high until totally smooth.
4. Taste and tweak: Add more juice if too thick, or a bit more banana for sweetness.
