Vanilla Berry Fruit Protein Smoothie

Published on - Last Updated on - 38 Comments

Go to Recipe

I have been making smoothies so much lately that my kids have started requesting their own creations. Is that as crazy to you as it is to me?

Let me put it to you this way: I have been rejecting smoothie ideas for weeks. They would come up with some insane ideas that sounded absolutely horrific. There was absolutely no way I was going to waste my Kura Smoothie Starters on a doomed smoothie recipe.

One day, my kids thought of something absolutely genius. This is what they told me:

Daughter: “Hey mom, let’s make a smoothie! I have a great idea!”

Me: Sigh “Let’s hear it!”

Daughter: “Let’s mix the vanilla and berry powders and add peaches and pineapple, and then you can put cinnamon on top and let ME stir it. The cinnamon is to help remind me of peach cobbler.”

Me: “Well darn, kid, that sounds wonderful!”

And here we are.

I couldn’t believe that this idea came from my kids when I first made this smoothie. But it turned out wonderfully!

I recommend going light on the pineapple, even less than 1/4 cup if you aren’t a huge fan of an overwhelming pineapple taste.

Since we discovered this drink we have been making different variations of it as an almost daily after school snack.

Now that it is Spring Break I bet we will be making it even more.

My kids don’t know this, but making them smoothies is one of my secret weapons. They stop bickering and fighting when I make smoothies. The  20 minutes of pure peace is well worth the five minutes it takes to prepare them drinks.

I love when my smoothies are filled with fruit. It makes me miss the days we had an endless supply of frozen fruit that came straight from my great grandmother’s garden.

    I make smoothies too but I never tried using the Kura Smoothie Starters. That is something I am now very curious to try now that I have seen how delicious and mouth-watering your smoothies are! 🙂

    I’ve been wanting to make more smoothies but have been getting bored having the same kind over and over again. These sound really good and will have to make these.

    That does sound like a really delicious smoothie. I haven’t had one since I was pregnant.. I used to make them for breakfast.

    Now that it’s warmed up a bit here in SC, I’ve been having smoothies for breakfast every day. I can’t drink them during the winter because I get so cold. Looks like your child came up with a great flavor. I need to try it.

    I have to agree that that does sound pretty darn good. I love getting creative with smoothies but have never thought to ask the kids to create one. I will ask and see what they come up with. I’m sure peanutbutter will be in it somewhere. It’s in everything else they want.

    I definitely do not get enough protein in my diet, so I would love to try something like this. It sounds delicious.
