Equipment Needed To Make At Home

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 Sour Patch Kids Smoothie At Home

The Jamba Juice Secret Menu Sour Patch Kids smoothie is very easy to make:

  • Step 1: Place blueberries, lemonade, lime sherbet, orange sherbet, pineapple sherbet, raspberry sherbet, 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.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions

Are blueberries high in antioxidants?

Yes, blueberries are a powerhouse of antioxidants, particularly flavonoids, which are known for their brain-boosting and heart-protective benefits. They’re also low in calories and high in vitamins C and K.

Is there milk in sherbet?

Sherbet does contain a small amount of milk or milk derivatives, which differentiates it from sorbet, a dairy-free alternative. The milk content in sherbet is usually around 1-2%, giving it a creamier texture than sorbet but less creamy than traditional ice cream.
