Smoothie King  Peanut Power Plus

Want to make the Smoothie King Peanut Power Plus at home? This easy homemade copycat uses simple ingredients and gives you that rich peanut‑butter‑banana power—perfect for strength and recovery. It’s simple, protein-packed, and saves you money.

How I Figured Out This Recipe

The first time I tried to recreate Peanut Power Plus™, it tasted close—but it didn’t feel as thick or nutty as the real thing. It was missing that blend of natural sweetness and peanut flavor.
Then I added dates for sweetness and extra banana for creaminess. Finally, I realized using both protein powder and cocoa was the secret trio. That combo nailed the taste, thickness, and flavor—just like the real Smoothie King version—game over!

Peanut Power Plus™ Ingredients

• 1 medium banana (ripe or frozen): gives sweet, creamy base. — from official list
• 2 Tbsp natural peanut butter: delivers the rich peanut flavor
• 3–4 dates (pitted): add natural sweetness & a smooth texture
• 1 cup nonfat or unsweetened almond/cow’s milk: blends it silky
• 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder: boosts protein and depth
• 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder (for chocolate version): deepens the chocolate taste
• 1 cup ice: chills and thickens it up

How to Make Peanut Power Plus (Copycat)

1. Put banana, peanut butter, and dates into your blender.
2. Add milk, protein powder, cocoa (if using), and ice.
3. Blend on low first, then high until smooth and thick.
4. Taste and fix: Too thick? Splash in a bit more milk. Not sweet enough? Add another date. Want more punch? Add extra peanut butter or cocoa.

• Peanut butter and protein powder bring the nutty, filling feel.
• Cocoa powder adds the rich chocolate finish in the chocolate variation.

How to Store Your Smoothie
