What’s in the Berry Interesting™?

The Official Smoothie King Version

The original Berry Interesting™ is part of Smoothie King’s Kids line, made with strawberries, raspberries, an apple blueberry juice blend, and a multivitamin boost.

Our Homemade Copycat Version

My version combines frozen strawberries and raspberries with an easy homemade juice blend and an optional multivitamin powder for a healthful boost.

Berry Interesting™ Ingredients

• Frozen Strawberries: 1 cup gives it that classic sweet berry flavor and makes the smoothie thick and kid-friendly.
• Frozen Raspberries: 1/2 cup adds a bright, tangy flavor and a boost of fiber and antioxidants.
• Apple Juice + Blueberries: 1/2 cup apple juice blended with 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries replicates the fruity juice base.
• Ice (Optional): 1/2 cup for extra chill and smooth texture—especially helpful if fruit isn’t fully frozen.
• Optional Multivitamin Powder: A scoop of kid-safe powder if your doctor gives the thumbs up.

How to Make the Berry Interesting™ at Home

1. Blend All the Ingredients: Toss strawberries, raspberries, apple juice, blueberries, ice, and optional vitamin powder into your blender.
2. Blend Until Smooth: Let it run for about 60 seconds until it’s totally blended—no seeds or chunks!
3. Taste Check: Adjust the sweetness with a splash more juice or a little honey if needed.
4. Serve Fresh: Pour into a kid-sized cup and serve right away while it’s cold and colorful!

Why This Recipe is a Perfect Copycat

• Berry-Loaded Goodness: The strawberry-raspberry-blueberry combo brings real fruity flavor and kid appeal.
• Naturally Sweet: Fruit and juice do all the work—no added sugar needed.
• Kid-Friendly Nutrition: A tasty way to sneak in antioxidants, fiber, and (optionally) vitamins.
• Fun and Vibrant: It’s as fun to look at as it is to drink!

Easy Tips and Swaps

• No Apple Juice? Use white grape juice or water with a little extra fruit.
• Make It Creamy: Add a spoonful of Greek yogurt for a protein and texture boost.
• Add Greens: Blend in a handful of baby spinach—they won’t taste it!
• Lower the Sugar: Use water instead of juice if you want to keep it lighter.

How to Store Your Smoothie

In the Fridge: Store in a kid-friendly cup with a lid for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.

In the Freezer: Freeze in silicone molds or small containers. Thaw and re-blend with a splash of juice or water.
