Smoothie King Coffee High Protein Vanilla Recipe

This smoothie king Coffee High Protein Vanilla copycat is a smooth, nutty, vanilla-forward meal replacement built to keep you energized and full. It’s based on whole ingredients like cold brew, almonds, dates, and a blend of whey protein to mirror the original’s clean fuel profile. No added sugar, no sketchy blends just real flavor and real fuel, blended fresh at home.

Ingredients Needed:

• 1 cup cold brew coffee: A clean caffeine boost with smooth, rich coffee flavor.
• 1/2 cup nonfat milk: Keeps it creamy without piling on fat.
• 2 tablespoons almonds (soaked): Adds nuttiness, healthy fats, and thickness—soaking makes them easier to blend.
• 2 Medjool dates (pitted): For natural sweetness and fiber without added sugar.
• 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder: Builds the vanilla flavor and boosts protein.
• 1 scoop unflavored whey or collagen protein: Mimics the double-protein blend Smoothie King uses.
• 1 cup ice: Chills and thickens the smoothie to that perfect, sippable consistency.

How To Make Smoothie King Coffee High Protein Vanilla (Copycat):

1. Soak almonds in warm water for 30 minutes or longer to soften them up.
2. Add cold brew, milk, almonds, dates, both protein powders, and ice to your blender.
3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, no chunks, no grit.
4. Taste and adjust: more dates for sweetness or a splash more milk to thin it out.
5. Serve it cold and sip your way to a protein-packed energy boost.

How This Copycat Recipe Matches The Real Taste:

The real Coffee High Protein Vanilla has that subtle coffee backdrop with smooth vanilla and a nutty finish. It’s thick, filling, and naturally sweet no added sugar.

We recreated it by blending cold brew with soaked almonds and dates to get that natural sweetness and creamy texture. Vanilla whey protein does the heavy lifting on flavor, while a second scoop of unflavored protein keeps the macros in line.

Texture-wise, it’s full and velvety, just like the original. Nutrition? You’re getting around 370 calories, 30g protein, and zero added sugar just like the one from Smoothie King, minus the mystery blends.

Recipe Tips & Variations:

To make this smoothie vegan, just use plant-based milk, soaked cashews or sunflower seeds in place of almonds, and a solid vegan vanilla protein powder.

If you’re out of dates, swap in a tablespoon of maple syrup or a frozen banana just know it’ll shift the flavor a bit.

Want a stronger vanilla vibe? A few drops of vanilla extract can really bring it forward.

For a thicker, frostier texture, toss in more ice or freeze your almond milk into cubes. And if you need it nut-free, soaked oats or a spoon of seed butter will get you that same creamy body.

How To Store This Smoothie For Later:

Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking—natural separation happens.
