“Love this smoothie. The strawberry and banana combo is a classic that never disappoints!”
🙂 Ella B.
Power Slim Strawberry, a copycat Manage Weight Blend Smoothie King recipe, is a refreshing blend of ripe bananas, sweet strawberries, creamy almond milk, and whey protein powder, all served over ice. This smoothie offers a delightful combination of natural sweetness and protein-packed nutrition, making it an ideal choice for a light breakfast, post-workout recovery, or a healthy snack. The vibrant flavors of strawberry and banana complement each other perfectly, creating a satisfying, energizing treat that supports your health and fitness goals.
This smoothie is rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein, making it a fantastic choice for anyone looking to maintain a balanced diet. Bananas provide potassium, which helps regulate fluid balance and muscle function, while strawberries are loaded with antioxidants and vitamin C, promoting immune health and reducing inflammation. Almond milk adds a creamy texture without the calories or saturated fat found in dairy, and whey protein powder ensures you’re getting the protein necessary for muscle repair and growth.

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.

Strawberries – Strawberries are a flavorful staple of many healthy smoothies and shakes. They are an excellent source of several important antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds including pelargonidin, ellagic acid, ellagitannins, and procyanidins. Strawberries are widely known to decrease the risk of heart disease, help regulate blood sugar, and reduce the risk of certain cancers.

Almond Milk – Almond milk is a popular nut-based milk replacement that is naturally lactose-free, dairy-free, and completely vegan. It has a surprisingly diverse set of nutrients, including significant amounts of vitamin D, vitamin E, and calcium. Almond milk is also a heart-healthy beverage for those interested in lowering their cholesterol.

Whey Protein Powder – Whey protein powder is the most highly studied nutritional supplement readily available, providing great nutritional value and numerous health benefits. In addition to high quality protein, it also contains bioactive peptides called lactokinins. Whey protein powder promotes muscle growth and maintenance, helps lower blood pressure, can lessen the effects of Type 2 diabetes, and reduces inflammation.

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 Slim Strawberry
The Smoothie King Power Slim Strawberry is very easy to make:
- Step 1:Â Place bananas, strawberries, almond milk, whey protein powder, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.
- Step 2:Â 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:Â Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Step 4:Â Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.
Recipe Tips And Substitutions
For ease of use, we recommend peeling and slicing a number of bananas, putting them in a freezer bag, and storing them in your freezer for quick access.
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.
If you’re vegan or lactose intolerant, replace whey protein powder with a plant-based protein powder such as pea or hemp protein.
For added fiber, blend in a handful of spinach or kale, it won’t alter the taste but will boost the nutrient content.
For extra creaminess, add a spoonful of almond butter or a splash of coconut milk.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions
Almond milk is lower in calories and fat compared to dairy milk, and it’s also a great source of vitamin E. However, it has less protein, so the whey protein powder in this smoothie helps to make up for that.
Whey protein is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids. It’s excellent for muscle recovery, boosting metabolism, and keeping you full longer, making it a great addition to this smoothie.
