Jamba Juice Coffee Dream Machine Smoothie

Jump to Recipe

“A perfect balance of coffee kick and sweet indulgence, without the guilt. The blue agave adds just the right touch of sweetness!”
🙂 Lauren M.

Coffee Dream Machine, a copycat featured blend Jamba Juice recipe, is a delightful drink that marries the bold flavors of cold brew coffee with the creamy texture of nonfat frozen yogurt, creating a smooth, invigorating drink. Sweetened naturally with blue agave syrup and lightened with milk, this smoothie offers a refreshing twist on your regular coffee experience, perfect for a morning boost or an afternoon pick-me-up.

This smoothie packs a punch of caffeine from the cold brew, known for its lower acidity compared to hot brewed coffee, which can be gentler on the stomach. The nonfat frozen yogurt provides calcium and probiotics for gut health, while the blue agave syrup offers a lower glycemic index sweetener, potentially better for blood sugar control than regular sugars. Milk adds protein and additional calcium, making this drink not only a treat but also a nutritious option.

Health Benefits

Coffee – Coffee is widely used for its ability to enhance focus and provide an energy boost. It contains the central nervous system stimulant caffeine which increases energy levels and reduces fatigue. Coffee has also been shown to reduce the risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

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.

Nonfat Frozen Yogurt – Nonfat frozen yogurt is often hailed as a healthy alternative to traditional ice cream. It includes yogurt culture probiotics lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus and is often made with agave nectar instead of high-calorie sugar. Nonfat frozen yogurt is a common choice among those wanting to reduce their caloric intake.

Agave Nectar – Agave nectar is the boiled down sap of the Latin American agave plant. Although marketed as a “healthy sweetener” with medicinal qualities, when processed into a highly refined syrup, all potential health benefits are destroyed.

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 Coffee Dream Machine Smoothie

The Jamba Juice Coffee Dream Machine smoothie is very easy to make:

Step 1: Place cold brew coffee, milk, nonfat frozen yogurt, blue agave syrup, 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 a vegan twist, swap the milk and nonfat frozen yogurt with almond milk and a plant-based yogurt or ice cream.

If blue agave isn’t your preference, honey or maple syrup can serve as excellent substitutes.

For an extra health kick, consider adding a spoonful of chia seeds for omega-3s or a dash of cinnamon for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular coffee instead of cold brew for this smoothie?

Yes, you can use regular coffee, but you’ll want to cool it down first to avoid melting the ice and diluting the smoothie. Cold brew provides a smoother, less acidic flavor which complements the smoothie’s profile better.

What makes blue agave syrup different from other sweeteners?

Blue agave syrup comes from the agave plant and has a milder, more neutral flavor than sugar. It’s also sweeter, so you use less, and it has a lower glycemic index, which might be beneficial for managing blood sugar levels.
