Jamba Juice

We love Jamba! One of Matt's coworkers use to work at Jamba and gave us some recipes awhile back. Tonight we made our favorite, Carribean Passion, along with a new flavor, Tropical Tease. I don't think they serve Tropical Tease at their stores anymore. It's nice that for the price of 2 Jamba Juices you can buy the ingredients to make it yourself and you have lots leftover so that you can make them whenever you want.


If our banana's start going brown before we eat them we peel them and put them in the freezer for smoothies. Over time they start to brown. It doesn't change the flavor but if you don't want them to brown just add some lemon or lime juice in the bag before freezing.

Carribean Passion Smoothie
1 cup mango passion fruit juice
(you can just use passion fruit juice so that you don't have to buy 2)
1 cup strawberries (frozen)
1/2 cup peaches (frozen)
1 cup orange sherbet
1/2 cup ice

Pour the mango juice in the blender. Add the strawberries, peaches, orange sherbet and ice. Blend until a smoothe, thick consistency. Makes about 3 cups. (*If the mixture is too thick you can add a little bit of water if needed)


1 cup pineapple juice

1/2 cup bananas

1 cup mangos

1 cup nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt

1/2 cup ice

Pour the pineapple juice in the blender. Add the bananas, mangos, frozen yogurt and ice. Blend until smooth, thick consistency. Makes 3 cups.

I love Matt but he never closes the kitchen cupboards or drawers. After cleaning out the smoothie maker to start his smoothie he left the spout open and poured the pineapple juice in. Not only did it go all over the counter and the floor but all over our utinsel drawer and I had just unloaded the dishwasher. My life just wouldn't be as excited without him!

Matt's masterpiece.

Nice one Matt! Will you come and make me smoothies every morning? I asked for a Magic Bullet for my bday last year to make smoothies in the morning and it hasn't been used once. I'm too lazy to use it-sad!
