Jamba Juice
Various locations across the Valley
Ok so I know you have heard of this one. But have you heard about the Jamba Juice secret menu? Be sure to ask. I’ve had a secret smoothie that tasted like gummy bears… Yummy! Sometimes smoothies come stocked full of unwanted sugar and calories. But the great thing about Jamba Juice is its “Light” menu, where drinks are for the body conscience. Also, to fulfill your morning appetite, try their new slow cooked oatmeal for the healthiest of breakfast eats.
haven’t heard of some of these. Thanks!
That looks delish!! unfortunately, sometimes these smoothies are LOADED with calories. be careful what you order!
I had no idea there were so many other smoothie places BESIDES Jamba Juice. Thanks!
Since we’re on the topic of 5 Places for September Smoothies in Phoenix | Valley Girl, The only thing you need to make great green smoothies is a blender and access to fresh fruits and green vegetables. You can use a typical low cost blender that you already own or purchase at any store. However, if you develop the healthy habit of making your green smoothies daily, you will eventually burn out the blender.
