Want to make the Smoothie King Metabolism Boost Strawberry Pineapple at home? This homemade copycat recipe uses easy ingredients you can find anywhere and tastes just like the store version. It’s fruity, energizing, and great for your metabolism.
How I Figured Out This Recipe
I was hooked after the first sip at Smoothie King—it’s sweet, tropical, and gives you that little energy lift. But when I tried making it at home, it came out kind of bland. The fruit was there, but it was missing that bright, punchy flavor.
So I added a little lemon juice and apple juice for that tangy pop. Then I found that frozen pineapple chunks and ripe strawberries are the secret to the thick, icy texture. Now it’s super close to the original!
Metabolism Boost Strawberry Pineapple Ingredients
- 1 kiwi (peeled): gives that tart green freshness.
- ½ cup frozen strawberries: sweet and classic flavor.
- ½ cup frozen pineapple chunks: brings that tropical tang and thickness.
- ½ cup apple juice: adds sweet liquid without dairy.
- 1 tbsp lemon juice: brightens all the flavors.
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein: for energy and a creamy base.
- 1 scoop fiber or energy boost (optional): just like Smoothie King.
- 1 cup ice: makes it thick and refreshing.
