Smoothie King Power Slim Vanilla

“I love how easy it is to make and how it keeps me full and energized!”
🙂 Mary C.

Power Slim Vanilla, a copycat Manage Weight Blend Smoothie King recipe, is a simple yet satisfying blend of bananas, almond milk, and whey protein powder, served over ice for a refreshing treat. This smoothie is perfect for those looking to enjoy a light, creamy beverage that still delivers on flavor and nutrition. The natural sweetness of bananas pairs beautifully with the smooth, nutty notes of almond milk and the rich, velvety texture of vanilla whey protein, creating a delicious and energizing drink.

This smoothie is packed with nutrients that support overall health and wellness. Bananas provide a good source of potassium, which is essential for maintaining healthy blood pressure and heart function. Almond milk is low in calories and free of cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy alternative to dairy milk. Whey protein powder adds a substantial protein boost, helping to support muscle recovery, promote satiety, and aid in weight management. This combination makes the Power Slim Vanilla smoothie an excellent choice for a post-workout snack or a quick, nutritious breakfast.

Everything You Need

Key Ingredients

The Smoothie King Power Slim Vanilla ingredients are:

bananas
almond milk
whey protein powder
Collagen Boost, optional

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.

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 Vanilla

The Smoothie King Power Slim Vanilla is very easy to make:

Step 1: Place bananas, almond milk, whey protein powder, and 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

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.

For those looking to switch things up, you can replace almond milk with oat milk or soy milk for a different flavor profile.

For extra fiber and nutrients, toss in a handful of spinach or kale, which will blend seamlessly without altering the taste.

For a vegan version, substitute the whey protein powder with a plant-based protein alternative like pea or hemp protein.
