Smoothie King Gut Health Greek Watermelon

Want to copy the Smoothie King Gut Health Greek Watermelon at home? This homemade copycat recipe uses easy ingredients you can grab anywhere and tastes just like the store blend. It’s simple, probiotic-friendly, and saves you money every time you hit “blend.”

How I Figured Out This Recipe

The first trial tasted fine but felt more like watery juice than a smoothie. I kept thinking, “Smoothie King’s version is creamy—what am I missing?” I went back to their ingredient list and saw Greek yogurt hiding in plain sight. That was the secret. Once I added a scoop of thick, non-fat Greek yogurt and a tiny splash of watermelon juice for pop, the drink turned silky and bright red—exactly like the one they serve. Problem solved, and now my kitchen smells like summer every time I make it.

Gut Health Greek Watermelon Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen strawberries: gives sweet berry flavor and chills the body.
• 1 cup diced frozen watermelon (or ½ cup watermelon juice + ½ cup ice): the star taste.
• ¾ cup apple juice: copies the gentle fruit base Smoothie King uses.
• ½ cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt: adds creaminess, protein, and gut-friendly probiotics.
• 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder: matches the light protein boost in the original.
• 1 tsp chia seeds (optional): extra fiber for happy gut bacteria.
• ½ cup ice: keeps everything thick and frosty.

How to Make Smoothie King Gut Health Greek Watermelon (Copycat)

1. Pour the apple juice into your blender.
2. Add frozen strawberries, watermelon, Greek yogurt, protein powder, and chia seeds.
3. Top with ice so the whole mix stays cold while blending.
4. Blend on high until smooth and bright pink.
5. Taste and fix: too tart? Add one more strawberry. Too thick? Splash in a bit more apple juice.

Why This Tastes Like the Smoothie King Version

• Greek yogurt and whey protein recreate the same creamy mouth-feel you get at the shop.
• The blend of watermelon and apple juice nails the sweet-but-light fruit base that makes the smoothie pop.
• Frozen strawberries deepen the color and add natural sweetness, so you never need added sugar.
• Chia seeds give a gentle fiber lift, feeding the good gut bugs—just like the store’s “Gut Health Enhancer.”

Easy Tips and Swaps

• Vegan spin: swap the Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt and use a plant-based protein powder.
• Lower the sugar: replace half the apple juice with cold water or unsweetened almond milk.
• Extra probiotic kick: stir in a tablespoon of kefir before drinking.
• Thicker texture: add ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum—my go-to smoothie thickener.
• Flavor twist: toss in a few mint leaves for a cool, spa-style vibe.

How to Store Your Smoothie

• In the Fridge : Pour leftovers into a sealed mason jar and chill up to 24 hours. Shake hard before drinking—fiber and fruit tend to settle.
• In the Freezer: Freeze any extra in an ice-cube tray. When you’re ready, blend the cubes with a splash of apple juice for an instant thick refresher.
