Smoothie King The Hulk™ Chocolate

Want to make the Smoothie King Hulk Chocolate at home? This homemade copycat recipe uses easy ingredients you can find at home and tastes just like the store version. It’s simple, indulgent, and protein-packed.

How I Figured Out This Recipe

When I first tried to recreate the Hulk Chocolate, it tasted like chocolate milk with banana—not the rich, thick smoothie I remembered. I realized Smoothie King uses butter pecan ice cream and their “Hulk Blend” plus turbinado sugar and cocoa So I used ice cream, real cocoa, frozen banana, and just enough sugar to match the flavor. It took a few tweaks on ice quantity and blending time, but then boom—it tasted like Hulk.

I learned that starting with a creamy banana-pecan blend and adding real cocoa gives that deep chocolate taste. The ice cream and turbinado sugar deliver that sweet richness. Now every sip feels like hitting the muscle-fuel jackpot.

The Hulk Chocolate Ingredients

• Banana (frozen): gives natural sweetness, creaminess, and thickness.
• Butter pecan ice cream: recreates Smoothie King’s vanilla-plus-pecans base (“Hulk Blend”) .
• Cocoa powder: delivers rich real chocolate flavor.
• Turbinado sugar: adds that smooth, slightly raw sweetness.
• Chocolate protein powder: boosts protein and deepens the chocolate taste.
• Soy milk (or your milk of choice): thins it just right while adding plant protein.
• Ice: helps give that cold, slurpable texture.

How to Make The Hulk Chocolate (Copycat)

1. Add the creamy base: 1 frozen banana, 1 cup butter pecan ice cream, and 1 cup soy milk into your blender.
2. Add the chocolate boost: 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, 1/3 cup chocolate protein powder.
3. Add ice: put in 1 cup ice.
4. Blend until luscious: start low, ramp up to high. Blend till silky thick—about 30 seconds.
5. Taste and fix: too thick? Add a splash of milk. Not chocolatey enough? Add a teaspoon of cocoa or a date. Too sweet? Skip ice cream next time.

Why This Tastes Like the Smoothie King Version

• • Banana and butter pecan ice cream mimic the Hulk Blend base
• • Real cocoa + turbinado gives that authentic chocolate kick and sweetness .
• • Protein powder recreates the “Get Fit” nourish-and-recover feel.
• • Ice and milk ratio nails the thick, scoopable consistency.

Easy Tips and Swaps

• Use almond or oat milk to keep it dairy-free.

How to Store Your Smoothie

• In the Fridge : Store in a jar or glass—keeps for about 1 day. Stir or re-blend before drinking; it may settle.

FAQs

• Can I skip the ice cream?
• You can, but it won’t taste like Hulk. Try vanilla ice cream and add a few pecans for similar richness.
• Is there a healthier version?
• Yes—use unsweetened almond milk, swap ice cream for frozen banana + pecans, and use a natural sweetener. It won’t taste identical, but still chocolatey and satisfying.
