“A decadent, energizing smoothie that feels like a treat but packs in the protein, perfect for after a tough workout!”
🙂 Liz P.
The Hulk Coffee, a copycat Smoothie King Feel Energized Blend recipe, is a rich and indulgent blend of bananas, cold brew coffee, and butter pecan ice cream, combined with milk and whey protein powder for a creamy, protein-packed treat. The addition of turbinado sugar provides a hint of sweetness, making this smoothie a decadent yet energizing option for those looking to fuel up before or after a workout.
This smoothie offers a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fats, making it ideal for muscle recovery and energy replenishment. The whey protein powder supports muscle repair and growth, while the cold brew coffee gives you a caffeine boost to keep you alert and focused. Bananas provide potassium, which helps maintain electrolyte balance, and the butter pecan ice cream adds healthy fats and a delicious creaminess.
Everything You Need To Make A Smoothie King The Hulk Coffee Smoothie
Key Ingredients
The Smoothie King The Hulk Coffee ingredients are:
- bananas
- cold brew coffee
- milk
- butter pecan ice cream
- turbinado raw sugar
- 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.
Coffee – Coffee is widely used for its ability to enhance focus and provide an energy boost. It contains the central nervous system stimulant caffeine which increases energy levels and reduces fatigue. Coffee has also been shown to reduce the risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Milk – Milk, mainly from cows, sheep, and goats, has been consumed through out the world for thousands of years. It is protein-rich and packed with important nutrients including, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorous, potassium, and selenium. Milk is known to benefit bone health and may prevent osteoporosis.
Turbinado – Turbinado is organically grown, partially refined “raw” sugar. It is similar to refined white sugar in calories and carbohydrates and, although marketed as such, is not a sugar substitute. Turbinado provides little, if any, additional health benefit.
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.
How To Make The Smoothie King The Hulk Coffee
The Smoothie King The Hulk Coffee is very easy to make:
- Step 1: Place bananas, cold brew coffee, milk, butter pecan ice cream, turbinado, and whey protein powder 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.
If you’re looking to reduce the sugar content, consider replacing the turbinado with a natural sweetener like stevia or a sugar-free syrup.
For a dairy-free option, swap the milk and ice cream with almond milk and a dairy-free ice cream alternative.
You can also add a tablespoon of flaxseed or chia seeds for extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
