Want to make the Smoothie King Activator® Recovery GLP‑1 Almond Berry at home? This homemade copycat recipe uses easy ingredients you can find anywhere and tastes just like the store version. It’s simple, health-focused, and helps support recovery and satiety.
How I Figured Out This Recipe
When I tried the Almond Berry Activator, it felt a bit off—it was tasty but not silky enough. I knew Smoothie King balanced almond flavor with berries and protein for that satisfying finish.
My trick? I added almond butter and swapped to Greek yogurt instead of plain. That gave it extra creaminess and rich almond flavor without overpowering the berries. That’s how I got the smooth, satisfying texture that makes it feel like the real deal!
The Activator® Recovery GLP‑1 Almond Berry Ingredients
1 scoop vanilla or unflavored whey/plant protein powder: gives the muscle-repair boost and blends well with almond flavor.
2 tbsp almond butter: delivers smooth, nutty richness.
½ cup frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries): adds fruity flavor, antioxidants, and a touch of tang.
½ cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt): boosts creaminess, protein, and satiety.
1 cup unsweetened almond milk: keeps the smoothie smooth and dairy-light.
1 cup ice: makes it cold and thick.
Optional add-ins (pick 2): chia seeds, spinach, flaxseed, spinach
