    This Copycat Pineapple Surf Smoothie King recipe is a dead ringer for the Smoothie King classic. Pineapple, strawberry, and kiwi combine with clean vanilla protein for a refreshing treat or a quick breakfast. Grab a blender, it will be ready in no time!

    Our version uses natural ingredients like pure maple, clean protein powder, and a perfect blend of organic frozen fruit and apple juice to nail that creamy texture. 

    I switched it up by replacing the kiwi apple juice blend with fresh kiwi and organic apple juice. To avoid added sugar, we use maple syrup for a touch of natural sweetness.

    Ingredients

    5 white ramekins in a star pattern with the ingredients in each of them for a pineapple surf smoothie with the names of the ingredients to the side written in white. The ingredients are Fresh kiwi, vanilla protein powder, frozen pineapple, frozen strawberry, pure maple syrup, and fresh apple juice.

    Frozen Pineapple
    Organic frozen pineapple chunks are ideal. I like to save the core and freeze it for smoothies like these. Pineapple cores have the highest concentration of bromelain, the anti-inflammatory enzyme that helps break down protein.

    Vanilla Protein Powder
    I use the Naked Shake plant-based alternative, however, you can also use the standard dairy whey blend.

    Apple Juice
    If buying from a store, I recommend making sure it's cold-pressed and not from concentrate. For more information, please read our article on the benefits of cold-pressed juice!

    See the recipe card for the full list of ingredients and quantities.

    Substitutions and Variations

    Spinach or kale can turn it into a green smoothie packed with nutrients and antioxidants. If you don't have fresh leafy greens, consider barley grass powder for a supergreen boost. Beets make for a vibrant smoothie, loaded with health benefits.

    For apple juice alternatives, you've got options like almond milk, coconut milk, orange juice, pineapple juice, and coconut water. Each brings a different dynamic to the smoothie.

    If you're after a creamier smoothie, Greek yogurt or kefir could replace some of the liquid. Almond butter and peanut butter are also delicious options for added richness.

    How to Make a Copycat Pineapple Surf Smoothie King

    Pineapple, strawberries, and kiwi in a blender with apple juice, ready for the initial blend.

    Step 1: Add all fruit and apple juice to a high-speed blender and blend.

    Step 2: Add the scoop of vanilla protein powder and maple syrup. Blend again.

    Step 3: Scrape down the sides, give it a taste test, and adjust the flavors and texture, if desired. Blend thoroughly.

    Step 4: Pour into a tall glass and enjoy immediately.

    Hint: If using a standard blender, blend a little at a time and add the frozen fruit last.

    Expert Tip

    For the ultimate creamy texture and rich flavor, use frozen fruits. This ensures your smoothie won't get watered down while staying icy cold. It's a game-changer for achieving that perfect, Smoothie King-copycat consistency!

    Copycat Pineapple Surf Smoothie King FAQ's

    What is in the pineapple surf?

    Pineapple Surf smoothie by Smoothie King has pineapple, strawberry, vanilla protein blend (whey), turbandino sugar, and a kiwi apple juice blend. In our copycat recipe, we switch the protein for a dairy-free plant-based protein and switch out the sugar for a natural sweetener (maple).

    Is pineapple smoothie good for you?

    Yes, a pineapple smoothie can be a healthy choice, packed with vitamin C, dietary fiber, and antioxidants. Our clean version maximizes these benefits with organic ingredients.

    How much sugar is in a pineapple surf smoothie?

    Our Clean Copycat contains about 18 grams of sugar, mainly from fruits and a touch of maple syrup. The restaurant version can contain up to 50 grams of sugar, depending on size and add-ins.

    What is the hidden sugar in smoothies?

    The hidden sugar in smoothies often comes from flavored yogurts, added sugars, or juice concentrates. Always check ingredient lists and opt for natural sweeteners.
