“Awesome smoothie! Tastes great, big energy boost, and super-healthy. Why did it take me so long to find this shake?!?!”

Red Bull Energy Smoothie, a Weight Loss Smoothie Recipe, is an energy producing powerhouse with athletic performance enhancers caffeine and taurine. Keep in mind, this is not your stereotypical organic and natural smoothie and it may leave you feeling a little jittery. However, one thing that this blended beverage will do is fill you full of energy and, thereby, enhance your workout and promote weight loss. Plus, it tastes awesome! WARNING: If this is your first time drinking a Red Bull Energy Drink, we recommend using only ½ cup of Red Bull to determine how the stimulants caffeine and taurine make you feel … and, you can always add more next time.

The Red Bull Energy smoothie ingredients are:
- Red Bull Energy Drink
- grapes
- mango
- orange

Health Benefits
Red Bull – Red Bull is one of the most popular energy drinks in the world. It contains several energy-boosting compounds, the most potent of which are caffeine and taurine. Red Bull boosts mental and physical performance, but can be dangerous if over-consumed. [Amazon]
Grapes – Grapes have been cultivated for thousands of years and offer a host of nutritional health benefits. They are rich in vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, copper, and potassium. The antioxidant resveratrol in Grapes helps lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and protect against heart disease. [Amazon]
Mango – Mango, in some corners of the world, is known as the “King of Fruits” and delivers an impressive amount of potent nutrients and healthy plant compounds. They are extremely high in vitamin C and provide significant amounts of copper, folate, and vitamin B6. Mangoes are also known to boost your immune system, improve digestive health with their amylases enzymes, help prevent diabetes, and have even been shown to reduce the risk of certain cancers.
Oranges – Oranges are the most popular of all citrus fruits. They are absolutely packed with vitamin C and provide significant amounts of the flavonoids hesperidin and naringenin as well as carotenoids beta-cryptoxanthin and lycopene. Oranges promote healthy immune function, boost heart health, and have been shown to prevent anemia. [Amazon]
Watermelon – Watermelon originates from Africa and was first domesticated more than 4,000 years ago. It contains a variety of nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium. In addition to keeping you hydrated, watermelon is known to inhibit tumor growth in various cancers and help prevent age-related macular degeneration. [Amazon]
Equipment Needed
A standard blender is all that is required to make this Red Bull smoothie. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using any one of the many available NutriBullet blenders as they are quick to set up and very easy to clean.
If you are making this recipe 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 This Smoothie
The Red Bull Energy smoothie is very easy to make:
- Step 1: Place Red Bull Energy Drink, grapes, mango, orange, watermelon, and crushed ice 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.
