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 Kids Berry Interesting
The Smoothie King Kids Berry Interesting is very easy to make:
- Step 1: Place blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, apple juice, and Kids 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 berries, 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.
If your child prefers other fruits, you can substitute the berries with cherries, blackberries, or peaches.
For an extra boost of protein and creaminess, add a scoop of Greek yogurt or a handful of spinach for added greens.
To make the smoothie more filling, you can blend in some oats or add a spoonful of peanut butter.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, frozen berries can be just as nutritious as fresh berries, if not more so. Frozen berries are typically picked at peak ripeness and immediately frozen, which helps preserve their nutrients. This makes them a great option, especially when certain berries are out of season. Additionally, using frozen berries can give the smoothie a thicker, more refreshing texture without the need for additional ice. Just make sure to choose unsweetened frozen berries to avoid added sugars.
Yes, you can definitely add supplements to boost the nutritional profile of this smoothie. Popular choices include adding a scoop of protein powder for added protein, a teaspoon of flaxseed or chia seeds for omega-3 fatty acids, or a bit of spirulina for extra vitamins and minerals. Always make sure to check with your child’s pediatrician before adding new supplements to their diet to ensure they are appropriate and safe for their age and health needs.
