You can make Smoothie King’s Angel Food Smoothie using this copycat recipe. It will save you time and money!

I used to drive to Smoothie King to get their angel food smoothie. It sounded fancy. Something had to be in their smoothie to make it taste like angel food cake, right? Turns out wrong. It’s a standard strawberry and banana smoothie. I have to give them props for great marketing!

It’s not just Smoothie King I regularly drove to. I had terrible habits and went to Starbucks almost every day. Since then, I have also made my favorite Starbucks copycats, like Starbucks Blueberry Scones (my most popular recipe!), Strawberry Acai Refresher, and the Apple Crisp Macchiato Oatmilk recipe.

Angel Food Smoothie Copycat Recipe

At A Glance

EASE: Super easy
COURSE: All day
TIME: 5 – 10 minutes depending on the fruit
DIET: Custimizable to many different diet needs: vegan, dairy free, plant based and gluten free.

Ingredients

Bananas

Use standard ripe bananas. Ripe is the keyword. If your banana is underripe or overly brown, it’ll throw off the flavor of your smoothie. You can also use frozen bananas for a creamier texture.

Strawberries

I recommend using frozen berries; they are blender-ready and super easy. You can use fresh strawberries if you prefer. Remember to remove the stems. If the berry is large, cut it in half or quarters to help your blender out

Sugar

Smoothie King uses turbinado sugar (sugar in the raw), which is an interesting choice from my point of view. What is important here is that you do not need to use turbinado sugar. You can make this smoothie with your favorite sugar or no sugar. I usually use standard white granulated sugar.

Milk

Smoothie King uses non-fat dry milk. It makes sense; it’s easier to store and has a long shelf life. What you need to know is that it is still milk. So if you have dry milk, you can use it, but I would not buy it for this recipe. If you do not have it, use regular or plant-based milk. You can use evaporated milk to make this smoothie ultra-sinful!

Angel Food Smoothie Slim

You can also make a version of Angel Food Smoothie Slim at home. The recipe uses strawberries and bananas. Then, replace milk with pear juice and sugar with stevia. Smoothie King also adds protein powder to their Angel Food Slim recipe.

Peanut Butter and Jelly-ish

I like to add a heaping spoonful of peanut butter. It makes this smoothie taste like a PBJ! If you like a super creamy PBJ smoothie, add a quarter cup of old-fashioned oats!

Blenders

I recommend using a high-performance blender. They have a high wattage and are designed to crush the ice into a smooth consistency. You can use a standard household blender if you do not have one. Note that the texture might not be as smooth as the smoothies at Smoothie King.

Frequently Asked Questions

They use dried milk powder, which is really dehydrated milk. You can use milk powder or milk; they are the same thing.

Yes, they add turbinado sugar, also known as raw. You can stick with turbinado sugar, or replace it with the sugar you have in your pantry.

They use a high-powered Vitamix® blender to make their smoothies. You can purchase one on Amazon. They are expensive. For a less expensive high powered blender, try this one.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup (144g) frozen strawberries
  • ½ cup milk of your choice*
  • 2 tablespoons sugar *See notes
  • ½ cup (118g) ice

Instructions

  • Blend: Place all the ingredients into the blender. Blend on the smoothie setting (or use the high setting or ice crusher on some older blenders).
  • Pour: Pour into a glass or glasses and serve.

Notes

  • If you use dry milk powder, use the conversion on their box to make 1/2 cup. 
  • Smoothie King uses turbinado sugar, also known as sugar in the raw. You can also use simple syrup or standard white sugar.  Simple syrup  blends better with the ingredients, but white granulated sugar is convient.  It comes down to a personal choice.
    • To make simple syrup:
      1. Mix equal parts of sugar and water in a small saucepan.
      2. Heat over low to medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
      3. Allow it to cool before adding it to the smoothie.

    Such a great smoothing king copy cat we have tried others that don’t taste as good but this is amazing

  2. Sad there’s so much sugar in here.
    Need protein in here and that’s where it becomes difficult to mimic their smoothies. Most protein powders leave a taste. Theirs does not but I’ve yet to recreate it.

    1. Hi, there is a lot of sugar in the smoothie. Same at Smoothie King. If you want to add protein powder, Smoothie King uses a brand called Sun Warrior.

  3. 5 stars
    I rate it a 5 out of 5. It tastes exactly like the Smoothie King Angel Food drink. It has the perfect amount of sweetness, strawberries, and bananas. The texture is also not too thick or thin. I add vanilla almond milk because I don’t like regular milk and it still tastes fine.

    1. Hi Emily, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. I am so happy you liked this recipe. Ruth xoxox
