Smoothie King Peanut Power Plus Strawberry

Want to make the Smoothie King Peanut Power Plus™ Strawberry at home? This homemade copycat uses simple, easy ingredients and captures that perfect nutty-strawberry power—perfect for strength and recovery. It’s simple, protein-packed, and saves you money.

How I Figured Out This Recipe

I first tried making a homemade version but it was missing that bright strawberry flavor and thick, creamy feel. I realized Smoothie King uses fresh fruit, peanut butter, dates, and a touch of turbinado sugar for that balance. Once I added frozen strawberries and a few dates, it finally tasted like the real thing—thick, fruity, and satisfying!

Peanut Power Plus Strawberry Ingredients

• 1 frozen ripe banana: for creaminess and natural sweetness
• 1 cup frozen strawberries: gives that real strawberry punch
• ¼ cup natural peanut butter: brings nutty richness
• 3–4 dates, pitted: add caramel-like sweetness & smoother texture
• ½ cup nonfat milk (cow or almond): keeps it silky
• 1 scoop whey or plant protein powder: packs in protein
• 1–2 Tbsp turbinado (raw) sugar or honey (optional): mimics the slight sweetness
• 1 cup ice: gives smoothie-shop chill and thickness

How to Make Peanut Power Plus Strawberry (Copycat)

1. Pop frozen banana, strawberries, peanut butter, dates, milk, protein powder, and sugar (if using) into your blender.
2. Add the ice.
3. Blend on low, then high until it’s smooth and thick.
4. Taste and fix: Too thick? Pour a little more milk. Not sweet enough? Add another date or a pinch more sugar.

Why This Tastes Like the Smoothie King Version

• Frozen strawberries give fresh, bright fruit flavor just like theirs.
• Bananas, dates, and protein powder blend into a creamy texture you can sip or spoon.
• Peanut butter gives that rich nutty base.
• Turbinado sugar adds a subtle sweetness like the OG.

Easy Tips and Swaps

• Vegan? Use plant-based protein, almond milk, and agave instead of honey.
• More fiber? Add a tablespoon of oats, chia, or flax.
• Less sugar? Skip turbinado and dates—add one date or honey instead.
• More fruity tang? Squeeze in a bit of lemon juice or use extra strawberries.

How to Store Your Smoothie

• In the Fridge: Pour into a sealed jar—drink within 24 hours. Give it a good shake before sipping.
• In the Freezer: Freeze in ice cube trays. To enjoy, blend frozen cubes with a splash of milk for a thick, cold treat.

FAQs

• Can I substitute fresh strawberries instead of frozen?
• Yes—just add extra ice to get it cold and thick.
• Do I need the turbinado sugar?
• Not really. Dates give natural sweetness, so it’s optional—use honey or skip it.
• Can I swap banana for Greek yogurt?
• Yes, but yogurt adds tang and more protein. If you skip banana, add frozen cauliflower or extra ice.
