Want to make the Smoothie King Power Punch Plus® at home? This homemade copycat recipe uses easy ingredients you can find anywhere and tastes just like the store version. It’s simple, fruity, energizing, and packed with protein—perfect for fueling your workout or recovery.

How I Figured Out This Recipe

The first time I mixed bananas and strawberries with protein powder, it tasted fresh but lacked that smoothie‑bar brightness and texture. I realized Smoothie King uses turbinado sugar and just the right fruit ratio. After a few tweaks—adding frozen fruit, turbinado, and a splash of milk—the flavor and feel matched the real thing.

Power Punch Plus® Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen bananas: gives rich banana flavor and creamy body.
• 1 cup frozen strawberries: delivers fresh, bright berry taste
• 1 cup water or milk (almond or dairy): blends it silky smooth.
• 2 tbsp turbinado sugar: adds the light sweetness they use
• 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder: boosts protein and texture
• 1 cup ice: chills and thickens everything up.

How to Make Power Punch Plus (Copycat)

1. Add frozen banana, strawberries, protein powder, turbinado, and water/milk into your blender.
2. Toss in the ice.
3. Blend on low, then high until smooth and thick.
4. Taste and fix: Too sweet? Skip sugar next time. Too thick? Add more water or milk. Want a fruitier punch? Toss in extra berries.

Why This Tastes Like the Smoothie King Version

• Frozen bananas and strawberries recreate their fresh fruit flavor.
• Turbinado sugar gives that light, natural sweetness.
• Whey protein mimics their “nutrient blend” for protein and creaminess.
• Ice and frozen fruit give you that thick, smoothie-shop texture.

Easy Tips and Swaps

• Vegan? Use plant‑based protein and almond milk, and swap sugar with maple syrup.
• No ice? Use more frozen fruit or chill ingredients first.
• Want more nutrients? Add a handful of spinach or a couple spoonfuls of oats.
• Less sugar? Cut turbinado to 1 tbsp or skip it—the fruit is sweet enough.

How to Store Your Smoothie

• In the Fridge: Store in a sealed jar for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking—it may settle a little.
• In the Freezer: Freeze in ice‑cube trays. To enjoy later, blend frozen cubes with water or milk for a cold refresher.
