Rainbow Sherbet, an unofficial Jamba Juice Secret Menu smoothie recipe, is a colorful fusion of fruity sweetness and creamy texture that feels like pure happiness in a glass. This Jamba Juice favorite blends tangy raspberry, bright strawberry, and mellow banana into a perfectly balanced treat that satisfies your sweet tooth without being overly heavy. It’s a nostalgic, dessert-like smoothie that captures the taste of summer and the playful swirl of classic sherbet.
The first time I recreated this at home, I was surprised by how spot-on the flavor was to the original shop version. Blending frozen fruit with a touch of yogurt gives it that dreamy creaminess while keeping things light and refreshing. For a fun twist, try layering the blend by color or topping it with a few fresh berries to enhance both the flavor and presentation. It’s a go-to when I’m craving something cheerful and satisfying after a workout or on a hot day.

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.
Raspberries – Raspberries are a popular seasonal fruit that are actually a member of the rose family. They are packed with vitamin C and manganese and also provide several B vitamins, vitamin E, and vitamin K. Raspberries are very high in antioxidant plant compounds that protect against cell damage and can help reduce your risk of various chronic diseases.
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.

Smoothie Making Tools 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 glass or BPA-free airtight storage containers with a resealable lid.
How To Make The Rainbow Sherbet Smoothie At Home
The Jamba Juice Secret Menu Rainbow Sherbet smoothie is very easy to make:
- Step 1: Place banana, raspberries, strawberries, soy milk, raspberry sherbet, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.
- Step 2: 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: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Step 4: 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 milk or coconut milk can be substituted for the soy milk and still keep this delicious smoothie dairy-free.
