“Protein-packed, nutritious, and utterly delicious. It’s my go-to for a quick meal replacement that tastes like a treat!”

Soy PB + Banana Protein, a copycat super blend Jamba Juice recipe, is a delightful combination of creamy peanut butter, sweet bananas, and soy protein, all mixed with 2% milk for a smooth texture, and a drizzle of honey adds a touch of natural sweetness. It’s not just a treat for your taste buds but also a satisfying way to fuel up for the day.
This smoothie packs a nutritional punch. Bananas are rich in potassium, which aids in muscle function and hydration. Peanut butter provides a good source of healthy fats and proteins. Soy protein powder offers a plant-based protein alternative, beneficial for muscle repair and growth. The inclusion of honey adds antioxidants, while 2% milk contributes calcium and vitamin D, essential for bone health.

Bananas – Bananas are very healthy, readily available, and one of the least expensive fruits you can buy. They have relatively few calories, are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and potassium, are full of potent antioxidants including flavonoids and animes, and are high in dietary fiber. Studies have shown that bananas can improve insulin sensitivity and may improve kidney health.

Peanut Butter – Peanuts are a South American legume that are actually closely related to beans. They are loaded with high-quality plant-based protein, healthy fats, and a rich antioxidant profile that includes isoflavones, p-coumaric acid, phytic acid, and phytosterols. Peanuts have been associated with gallstone prevention, reduced risk of heart disease, and the prevention of environmental cell damage.

Milk – Milk, mainly from cows, sheep, and goats, has been consumed through out the world for thousands of years. It is protein-rich and packed with important nutrients including, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorous, potassium, and selenium. Milk is known to benefit bone health and may prevent osteoporosis.

Soy Protein Powder – Soy protein powder offers several health benefits, including being a complete protein source, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids, which are crucial for muscle repair and growth. It is also rich in isoflavones, which have been linked to various health benefits like improved heart health and reduced cholesterol levels. Additionally, soy protein is hypoallergenic compared to other protein sources like whey, making it a suitable option for those with dairy allergies or sensitivities.

Honey – Honey is a thick, sticky liquid made from plant nectar by honeybees. It is rich in antioxidants, including phenolic acids and flavonoids that are excellent at reducing oxidative stress. Honey has been used to facilitate burn and wound healing for thousands of years and has shown great success in healing diabetes-related foot ulcers.

Equipment Needed
A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.
If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.
For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.
How To Make The Jamba Juice Soy PB + Banana Protein Smoothie
The Jamba Juice Soy PB + Banana Protein smoothie is very easy to make:
- Step 1:Â Place bananas, peanut butter, 2% milk, soy protein powder, honey, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.
- Step 2:Â Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
- Step 3:Â Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Step 4:Â Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.
Recipe Tips And Substitutions
For ease of use, we recommend peeling and slicing a number of bananas, putting them in a freezer bag, and storing them in your freezer for quick access.
If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.
Almond or oat milk can be used instead of 2% milk to make this delicious smoothie dairy-free.
If peanut butter allergies are a concern, almond or sunflower seed butter are great alternatives.
To boost fiber, add a handful of spinach or chia seeds, or for extra sweetness and nutrients, consider throwing in some frozen berries.
