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 Green Apple Smoothie At Home

The Jamba Juice Secret Menu Green Apple smoothie is very easy to make:

  • Step 1: Place mango, apple juice, lemonade, nonfat frozen yogurt, lime sherbet, matcha powder, 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

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.

Whole fresh apples can be substituted for the apple juice, just add a little water to maintain consistency.

Coconut milk or soy milk (with a little extra ice) can be substituted for the nonfat frozen yogurt to make this delicious smoothie dairy-free.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions

Are mangos good for you?

Mangos are a nutrient-rich fruit, packed with vitamins like A and C, as well as fiber and antioxidants. They can support immune function and digestive health. However, they’re also high in natural sugars, so it’s best to consume them in moderation, especially if you’re watching your sugar intake.

How much caffeine is in matcha green tea powder?

Matcha green tea powder contains approximately 30 to 50 milligrams of caffeine per teaspoon, which is higher than regular green tea but lower than coffee. The caffeine in matcha is released slowly, providing a more sustained energy boost without the jitters.
