Equipment Needed

Smoothie Making Tools
Smoothie Making Tools

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 Mega Mango Smoothie

The Jamba Juice Mega Mango smoothie is very easy to make:

  • Step 1: Place mangos, strawberries, orange juice, pineapple juice, and crushed 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

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.

Fresh or frozen pineapple chunks can be substituted for the pineapple juice and will make this delicious drink a little thicker.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions

What are amylases enzymes in mangos?

Amylase enzymes, which are found in mangos and other fruits, play a crucial role in breaking down carbohydrates, particularly starches, into simpler sugars like glucose and maltose that can be easily absorbed by the body. Therefore, amylases contribute to the digestibility and sweetness of mangos as the fruit ripens and the starches convert to sugars.

What does bromelain do?

Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapple that aids in the digestion of proteins, potentially helping to reduce bloating, gas, and other symptoms of indigestion. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, which are beneficial in managing conditions like osteoarthritis and sinusitis, and it may support wound healing and immune function.
