Craving that Smoothie King Blueberry Heaven but don’t want to leave the house? This homemade copycat recipe uses easy ingredients you already know and brings the same bright berry taste right to your blender. It’s simple, sweet, and saves you a few bucks while still feeling like a treat.
How I Figured Out This Recipe
The first time I tried to clone Blueberry Heaven, I threw in a pile of blueberries and hoped for the best. The color looked perfect, but the flavor felt flat—almost like watered-down juice. I remembered reading that Smoothie King layers fruit juices with the berries, so I swapped in a mix of apple and white grape juice with a splash of lemon. One sip later the smoothie popped with that same sweet-tangy kick, and I finally nailed the real shop vibe. Problem solved, and my kitchen smelled like blueberry pie ever since.
Blueberry Heaven Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen blueberries: gives the deep berry color and natural sweetness.
- 1 frozen banana: adds creaminess so you don’t need yogurt.
- ¾ cup apple juice: copies the soft, sweet base they use.
- ½ cup white grape juice: brightens the fruit flavor without extra sugar.
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice: a little tang that makes the berries taste brighter.
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder: matches the light protein boost in the original.
- ½ cup ice: chills everything fast and thickens the blend.
How to Make Smoothie King Blueberry Heaven (Copycat)
- Pour the apple juice, white grape juice, and lemon juice into your blender.
- Add the frozen blueberries, banana, protein powder, and ice.
- Blend on high until smooth and velvety purple.
- Taste and fix: need more zing? Add a tiny splash of lemon. Too thick? Drizzle in a bit more apple juice.

Why This Tastes Like the Smoothie King Version
- The duo of apple and white grape juice mirrors the gentle fruit sweetness Smoothie King uses, so the flavor feels familiar right away.
- Frozen blueberries keep the smoothie icy-cold and give that dark blueberry color you expect.
- Banana adds body, letting you sip or spoon it just like the store blend.
- A scoop of vanilla protein powder brings the subtle cream note and small protein boost you get in the original cup.
Easy Tips and Swaps
- Lower the sugar: swap half of each juice for cold water or unsweetened almond milk.
- Vegan option: use a plant-based vanilla protein instead of whey.
- Extra antioxidants: toss in a handful of baby spinach—the dark blueberry color hides the greens.
- More protein: add an extra half scoop of unflavored collagen or whey.
How to Store Your Smoothie
- In the Fridge: Pour any extra into a sealed mason jar and chill up to 24 hours. Shake hard before drinking because the juices like to separate.
- In the Freezer: Freeze leftovers in an ice cube tray. Next time you want Blueberry Heaven, blend the cubes with a splash of juice for an instant, thick refresher.
