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.
- ½ cup ice
- 1 packet Vanilla Kura Smoothie Starters
- 1 packet Berry Kura Smoothie Starters
- ½ cup frozen peaches
- ¼ cup of frozen pineapple
- 1-2 cups milk, depending on how thick you like your smoothie. I used around 1½ cups.
- Cinnamon
- 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.
- Pour into two glasses, and top with cinnamon.
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 definitely do not get enough protein in my diet, so I would love to try something like this. It sounds delicious.
Now 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!
This looks so good! I love TASTY protein shakes like this. I capitalized tasty, because some of them are straight up nasty! Five stars!
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.
Aha, 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!
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.
That sounds really good. This sounds like a delicious way to use those smoothie starters. Frozen peaches and pineapple, yum!
That does sound like a really delicious smoothie. I haven’t had one since I was pregnant.. I used to make them for breakfast.
Ooooo this smoothly sounds pretty tasty!!!! I’m all about anything that can give me more protien in my diet 🙂
vanilla and three kinds of fruit flavors? i am so interested in this protein smoothie!

This is a great smoothie recipe!!! I love making smoothies year round they always hit the spot!
I just buy smoothies from a local store. Better to do it on my own…
My family all love smoothies – what a great start to the day for them! I’ll look into this!
I am a big fan of smoothies so these sound delicious! I love pineapple!
I love smoothies! But it’s my first time to have heard of Kura. I would love to try it though.
Hey Kim- this sounds yummy and I am wanting it now – I’ll be saving this recipe and going to have a smoothie I already made!! Thank you 🙂
Thanks for the recipes. I’m going to check out the Kura products on Amazon. I love a good protein powder. So, it’s alwasy good to come across a new one to check out. Thanks!
I’m a huge fan of smoothies and want to give this a try with my friend whose looking for new recipes. I can’t believe how easy it is to make and now I kick myself thinking all the money I wasted having someone else do it for me.
I 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.
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.
I love making smoothies but I hate getting out all the stuff haha. They are so healthy and yummy though, I will have to get my blender back out!
Yum yum, 1000x yum!
Yum these look so super good. I’ve never heard of this before, but would love to give it a try! Looks great!
Those look great. We make lots of smoothies in my house. Some of the best flavor combos have come from my son.
LOL on them being your secret weapon to get 20 minutes of quiet in the house. That made me laugh. 🙂
I am a smoothie addict! Always looking for new variations to try. Putting this at the top of my list. Looks and sounds amazing.
Looks good! I love the idea of using mason jars for these too. I am stealing that one!
This is such a great idea. One thing I love about smoothies is that we can make our own creations.
Smoothies are very easy to make. They taste so delicious and healthy as well. That’s really a good idea for your daughter to suggest.
It has been awhile since I’ve had a smoothie. I definitely need to get a lot more usage out of my blender and fix one sometime soon!
This sounds delicious! I’m a huge fan of smoothies and loving having them for breakfast.
I love peaches! The idea of including them in a smoothie sounds great to me.
These look so delicious! Definitely a recipe I would try!
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 never tried any of these starters before! That sounds like a good idea and oh so tasty!
