Jamba Juice Secret Menu Lemon Dream Machine Smoothie

Jump to Recipe

Lemon Dream Machine, an unofficial Jamba Juice Secret Menu smoothie recipe, is pure sunshine in a glass. Its bright lemony tang and creamy vanilla yogurt base combine for a taste that’s both invigorating and indulgent. The mix of lemonade and lime sherbet delivers a cool, tart zing that perfectly complements the sweetness, making it a go-to summer refreshment for anyone craving that fresh-squeezed citrus burst.

I’ve always loved this one after a long day outside … it’s like instant air conditioning for your taste buds. The vanilla yogurt adds just enough smoothness to soften the sharp lemon and lime flavors, while still keeping it light. When I make it at home, I sometimes toss in a few frozen pineapple chunks for extra tropical depth and a natural energy boost. It’s my favorite way to cool off without anything too heavy.

Everything You Need To Make A Lemon Dream Machine Smoothie

Key Ingredients

The Jamba Juice Secret Menu Lemon Dream Machine smoothie ingredients are:

lemonade
soy milk
nonfat frozen yogurt
lime sherbet
Collagen Boost, optional

Health Benefits

Lemonade – Lemons are a sour citrus fruit that are packed with antioxidants and various other beneficial plan compounds. Just one lemon provides more than 50% of your recommended daily intake of cold and flu-busting vitamin C. Lemons are also known to aid weight loss, prevent kidney stones, and protect against anemia.

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.

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.

Lime Sherbet – Limes are a sour citrus fruit that are best known for their immunity boosting nutrients. They are loaded with vitamin C and contain other important minerals such as riboflavin and niacin. Limes are also known to reduce the risk of heart disease, prevent kidney stones, and aid in the absorption of iron.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions

Is soy milk good for you?

Soy milk is a plant-based milk alternative rich in protein and often fortified with vitamins and minerals like calcium and vitamin D.

However, if you have a soy allergy or are concerned about phytoestrogens, it’s best to consult with a healthcare provider.

Is nonfat frozen yogurt high in sugar?
