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 Slim-N-Trim Blueberry
The Smoothie King Slim-N-Trim Blueberry is very easy to make:
- Step 1:Â Place blueberries, apple juice, blueberry juice, 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
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 looking to cut down on the natural sugars from fruit juices, you can substitute the apple and blueberry juices with unsweetened almond milk or coconut water.
For a creamier texture, try adding a half a banana or a spoonful of Greek yogurt
For a vegan version, replace the whey protein with a plant-based protein powder like pea or hemp protein.
