“This smoothie is like sunshine in a glass! The perfect blend of sweet and healthy, I feel energized and every time I drink one!”
🙂 Tammy H.
Soy Protein Berry Workout, a copycat super blend Jamba Juice recipe, is a delicious drink that marries the sweetness of ripe bananas and strawberries with the creamy texture of vanilla soy milk. Infused with soy protein powder, this smoothie not only tastes like a treat but also provides a substantial protein boost perfect for pre or post-workout nutrition. A handful of ice keeps it cool and refreshing, making it an ideal partner for your fitness journey.
This smoothie is packed with nutrients beneficial for athletes and health enthusiasts alike. Bananas contribute potassium, vital for muscle function and recovery, while strawberries add a burst of vitamin C, aiding in immune support and skin health. Soy milk and soy protein offer a complete plant-based protein source, rich in all essential amino acids, which is excellent for muscle repair and growth. The combined ingredients also offer dietary fiber, good for digestive health, and a range of antioxidants that combat oxidative stress.
Everything You Need
Key Ingredients
The Jamba Juice Soy Protein Berry Workout smoothie ingredients are:
- bananas
- strawberries
- vanilla soy milk
- soy protein powder
- Collagen Boost, optional
Health Benefits
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.

Strawberries – Strawberries are a flavorful staple of many healthy smoothies and shakes. They are an excellent source of several important antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds including pelargonidin, ellagic acid, ellagitannins, and procyanidins. Strawberries are widely known to decrease the risk of heart disease, help regulate blood sugar, and reduce the risk of certain cancers.

Soy Milk – Soy milk is a dairy substitute made from soybeans and water. It is an excellent source of protein, potassium, and is often fortified with vitamin A, vitamin B12, and vitamin D. Also, being plant-based, soy milk contains no cholesterol, no lactose, and is very low in saturated fat.

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.

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 Protein Berry Workout Smoothie
The Jamba Juice Soy Protein Berry Workout smoothie is very easy to make:
- Step 1:Â Place bananas, strawberries, vanilla soy milk, soy protein powder, 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.
For variety, you could try using different berries like blueberries or raspberries.
If soy isn’t your preference, almond or oat milk with a pea or hemp protein powder could be substituted for a different plant-based profile.
For an extra nutritional punch, consider adding a spoonful of chia seeds or flaxseeds for omega-3 fatty acids.
