Equipment Needed
A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.
If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.
For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.
How To Make The Smoothie King Power Meal Spinach Pineapple
The Smoothie King Power Meal Spinach Pineapple is very easy to make:
- Step 1: Place pineapple, spinach, grape juice, lemon juice, almonds, whey protein powder, and Multivitamin Boost into a blender and secure the lid.
- Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
- Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.
Recipe Tips And Substitutions
If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.
You can easily switch grape juice for apple or orange juice for a different flavor profile.
For a dairy-free option, consider using plant-based protein powder, such as hemp or pea, instead of whey protein.
You could also enhance the smoothie by adding a banana for creaminess or a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions
Whey protein powder is an excellent source of complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. It aids in muscle repair and growth, keeps you feeling fuller for longer, and can support weight management. Plus, it adds a creamy texture to your smoothie without overpowering the flavors.
To make this smoothie vegan, simply replace the whey protein powder with a plant-based protein powder, such as pea, hemp, or soy protein. Additionally, you can substitute the grape juice with a fruit juice that doesn’t contain added sugars, or use coconut water for a lighter taste.
