Daily Warrior, a copycat Smoothie King Be Well Blend recipe, combines vibrant wild blueberries, fresh spinach, creamy bananas, crunchy almonds, and smooth peanut butter with a base of apple blueberry juice and dates for a nutrient-dense powerhouse that’s both earthy and sweet. This antioxidant-rich vegetable smoothie delivers a thick, satisfying texture with tart berry notes offset by nutty undertones, providing essential potassium and protein to fuel your day or aid recovery after exercise. As an easy homemade healthy drink, it’s ideal for wellness enthusiasts seeking balanced, preventative nutrition in a refreshing blend that tastes indulgent yet supports overall vitality.
I’ve whipped up this Daily Warrior Smoothie King blend more times than I can count, learning that toasting the almonds lightly first brings out a deeper nuttiness that pairs perfectly with the spinach. The blueberries’ natural compounds help fight inflammation and the iron from spinach keeps energy levels steady without any bitterness creeping in, turning it into my secret weapon for powering through into the evening. If the mix feels too thick, I’ve found adding a splash of extra juice does the trick, or experiment with cashew butter for a milder twist that still packs the protein punch.

Health Benefits
Bananas – Bananas are very healthy, readily available, and one of the least expensive fruits you can buy. They have relatively few calories, are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and potassium, are full of potent antioxidants including flavonoids and animes, and are high in dietary fiber. Studies have shown that bananas can improve insulin sensitivity and may improve kidney health.
Blueberries – Blueberries are a popular superfood that are low in calories and highly nutritious. They are the king of antioxidants, being absolutely loaded with flavonoids, and provide significant amounts of vitamin C, vitamin K, and manganese. Blueberries protect against aging and cancer, by reducing DNA damage, and boost heart function, by preventing LDL oxidization and lowering blood pressure.
Dates – Dates are the sweet and chewy fruit of a palm tree that are typically consumed dried. They are highly nutritious, containing significant vitamin B6, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, and potassium. Dates are abundant in disease-fighting antioxidants and have been shown to improve brain function by reducing inflammation and preventing plaque formation.
Spinach – Spinach has long been a major staple of healthy eating. It is loaded with important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A producing carotenoids, vitamin C, vitamin K1, calcium, folic acid, and iron. Studies have shown that the regular addition of spinach to one’s diet can help improve eye health, promote heart health, boost immune function, and make bones stronger.
Apple Juice – Apples are the most widely consumed fruit globally and boast more than 7,000 different varieties. They provide significant amounts vitamin C, vitamin K, copper, and potassium, and are loaded with power antioxidants, especially polyphenols. Apples can help lower cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, and promote gut health as a prebiotic.
Peanut Butter – Peanuts are a South American legume that are actually closely related to beans. They are loaded with high-quality plant-based protein, healthy fats, and a rich antioxidant profile that includes isoflavones, p-coumaric acid, phytic acid, and phytosterols. Peanuts have been associated with gallstone prevention, reduced risk of heart disease, and the prevention of environmental cell damage.
Stevia – Stevia is a sugar substitute made from the leaves of the stevia plant. It is about 200 times sweeter than traditional refined table sugar, but contains no carbohydrates, calories, or artificial ingredients. However, many users find the aftertaste bitter and displeasing.
