I was recently contacted by a PR company representing Jamba’s new line of all natural make at home versions of their smoothies. I have been a big fan of Jamba for a while. I am also a smoothie lover. I love to have a smoothie to start my day off. So of course I was totally on board when they asked me if they could send some samples for me to try. They have 3 varieties – Razzmatazz®, Mango-a-go-go® or Strawberries Wild®.
Jamba All Natural Smoothies contain real fruit, non-fat yogurt, and an antioxidant boost with 100% of your Daily Value of Vitamin C. Each serving is fat-free, provides one full serving of fruit, and contains 0mg cholesterol and 120 calories or less when prepared as directed. Each package makes two, eight-ounce servings and retail for retail price of $2.99 to $3.29. The only thing you need to add to the product to make them is apple juice, which I always have laying around my house. The packages also each have a $1 coupon off a smoothies at the Jamba retail locations. They’ve at home versions have already begun to arrive at a number of grocery retailers such as Albertson’s, Meijer, Costco, etc.; and Walmart will begin carrying them nationwide this month.
I have tried similar products before and have not been impressed. I did however, love the Jamba Smoothies. My favorite was the Mango-a-go-go. It tastes amazing. My second favorite was the Strawberry Wild. I decided to try to orange juice in place of the apple juice, delicious! I have included the recipe below for that. On both of these flavors of smoothies, I did need to add more juice that listed on the package to get them to mix in my blender. The package calls for 8 oz. of apple juice and I probably used closer to 12 oz. of juice.
The last version I made was the Razzmatazz and it was my least favorite. I also made it with the larger amount of juice figuring it was just like the other to favors. This however, was a runnier version and was too runny with the larger amount of juice. Next time I will try that one with the recommended 8 oz of juice listed on the package for the Razzmatazz flavor.
I loved the smoothies and can’t wait to find them in a store near me. Jamba has also been nice enough to give me some coupons for free smoothies along with a $1 off coupons. I will be giving away coupons for free smoothie packages along with a $1 off coupons to to 8 lucky readers.

- Blend on high for about 1 minutes until smooth and desired consistency. Makes two 8 oz. servings.
I am going for the mangoooo!!!!!
I am not rattling superb with English but I line up this very leisurely to interpret.
I have only found the Razzmatazz, its pretty good. Knowing you liked it the least makes me want to find the other flavors!
I can’t wait to try the Strawberries Wild!
i’d love to try mango-a-go-go
Mango-a-go-go sounds amazing!
I love the Mango-a-go-go. Reminds me of my travels to the Carribean. Can’t get back there yet, but these smoothies make me so HAPPY!!!!!!
Thanks for this compelling piece. I look forward more of your writing on this topic in the future. Thanks again
I love the Strawberries Wild from Costco. You don’t have to add extra juice if you have a marginal blender. I also do, and I only add 1/4 of the bag at first then blend it smooth. I add the other 3/4 of the bag, one quarter at a time and my blender has no problem. The last blend takes a bit longer, than the first three, but it still works fine with my $19.99 cheapo blender.
I also use only 1/2 cup apple juice with 1/2 cup water. It’s a little less sweet, but only has 180 calories for a 16oz portion!
The mango sounds yummy. I wish they had that at Costco.
Strawberries Wild, definitely my favorite…but that Mango-a-go-go sounds delish!

I would love to try the Strawberries Wild – love it from Jamba. But I love anything with raspberries, so I would also want to try Razzmatazz. My husband makes his own version of Jamba shakes, but I would love the convenience of these.
Can’t wait to try the Mango-a-go-go!
Got my Jamba smoothie kits today!

Go Jamba!
Your mom told me about this the other day. I love mango-a-go-go. Mangos are YUMMY!
Strawberries Wild® sounds yummy, but I’ll need to get a blender. Mine blew up and found out the hard way that a food processor just won’t cut it!
Absolutely love smoothies – its a great way to get the kids to eat soft fruit and once in a while you can throw in a evgetable or 2 and they are not the wiser.

What a great idea! I love smoothies, too. My favorite would be probably be the ‘Berries Wild.’ Although, they all sound delicious.
