What’s in the CW Jr.®?

The Official Smoothie King Version

The original CW Jr.® is a kids’ smoothie made with bananas, strawberries, a papaya juice blend, and a multivitamin enhancer.

Our Homemade Copycat Version

My version keeps it simple and delicious with frozen fruit, papaya juice, and an optional multivitamin to match the original’s healthy boost.

CW Jr.® Ingredients

• Frozen Banana: 1 small banana makes this smoothie creamy and naturally sweet—no added sugar needed!
• Frozen Strawberries: 1/2 cup brings bright, berry flavor and makes it feel like a treat.
• Papaya Juice: 1/2 cup adds tropical sweetness and pairs perfectly with the fruit.
• Water: 1/4 cup helps everything blend smoothly without adding more sugar.
• Optional Multivitamin Powder: A kid-safe multivitamin (if approved by your doctor) adds a nutritional boost.
• Ice (Optional): 1/2 cup for extra frostiness—especially good if your fruit isn’t fully frozen.
