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.
Kura vanilla berry fruit smoothie recipe
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.
Kura Starters Vanilla Berry Fruit Smoothie Recipe
Print RateIngredients
- 1/2 cup ice
- 1 packet Vanilla Kura Smoothie Starters
- 1 packet Berry Kura Smoothie Starters
- 1/2 cup frozen peaches
- 1/4 cup of frozen pineapple
- 1-2 cups milk depending on how thick you like your smoothie. I used around 1 1/2 cups.
- Cinnamon
Instructions
- Place ice, both packets of Kura Smoothie Starters, peaches, pineapple, and milk into your blender.
- Blend until you've reached the desired consistency, adding milk if necessary.

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.

Bonnie @ wemake7 says
March 17, 2015 at 7:25 pmI’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.

March 17, 2015 at 4:52 pmI love smoothies made with berries and other fruitiness. It’s a good way to start the morning or have a satisfying lunch when you are on the go.

Liz Mays says
March 16, 2015 at 8:30 pmThat sounds really good. This sounds like a delicious way to use those smoothie starters. Frozen peaches and pineapple, yum!
Alli says
March 16, 2015 at 6:42 pmNow 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.
Chubskulit Rose says
March 16, 2015 at 6:17 pmAha, what way to find a common denominator for both of them. Definitely worth the 20 minutes of peace and you prepared it minutes! Great job!
Terri Ramsey Beavers says
March 16, 2015 at 5:10 pmI 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.
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
March 16, 2015 at 4:53 pmThis looks so good! I love TASTY protein shakes like this. I capitalized tasty, because some of them are straight up nasty! Five stars!
lisa @bitesforbabies says
March 16, 2015 at 4:39 pmNow that the weather is getting warmer I’m all about shakes and smoothies. I just made myself a crispy crunch protein shake today!This one sounds great!
Robin Masshole Mommy says
March 16, 2015 at 4:20 pmI definitely do not get enough protein in my diet, so I would love to try something like this. It sounds delicious.
