I have loved all-natural fruit smoothies ever since I had the opportunity to try a small sample of one at a mall several years ago. Unfortunately, having gastric bypass surgery has made me permanently intolerant of more than 10-15g of sugar in a single sitting (I can handle 15-20 if I go slow), so smoothies are one of those foods I thought I’d pretty much write off forever.
Then again, maybe not. Jamba Juice recently introduced three of their most popular flavors in an at-home smoothie kit that requires nothing more than a blender and 8 oz. of apple juice to put together. Each Jamba All Natural Smoothies kit contains enough frozen chunks of fruit and non-fat yogurt to combine with 8 oz. of apple juice to make two 8 oz. smoothies. Each smoothie contains nothing but all natural fruit and non-fat yogurt, as well as a full serving of fruit and a full daily serving of Vitamin C. Additionally, Jamba’s All Natural Smoothies are free of artificial colors, flavors, additives, and preservatives. Best of all, the sugar content is fairly low. When combined with 8 oz. of low sugar apple juice, each 8 oz. smoothie contains no more than 15g of sugar.
As promised, the smoothie kit was easy to work with. All I needed was my blender and 8 oz. of apple juice and I was good to go. The smoothies whipped up smoothly (no pun intended) in less than a minute, and then they were ready to be enjoyed. And enjoyed them we did. Jamba’s smoothies were a huge hit with all four of us — myself, my husband, and our two children. They’re definitely a delightful summer treat that I will keep in the freezer so we can enjoy them at a moment’s notice!
