San Diego, an unofficial Jamba Juice Secret Menu smoothie recipe, bursts with sunshine in every sip, bringing together three of California’s favorite fruits: lemon, lime, and orange. Each element contributes to a bright, tangy flavor profile that instantly lifts your mood while flooding your system with vitamin C. This zesty blend delivers a refreshing citrus kick perfect for mornings, workouts, or whenever you need a natural energy boost.

Living on the coast, I’ve always loved how a splash of citrus can wake up the senses and instantly transport you to a Southern California state of mind. When I make this smoothie at home, I use freshly squeezed lemon and lime for the sharpness and balance it with sweet, ripe orange juice. The result is a drink that’s both invigorating and soothing, like a sunny day in San Diego captured in a glass.

Everything You Need To Make A San Diego Smoothie

Key Ingredients

The Jamba Juice Secret Menu San Diego smoothie ingredients are:

lemonade
orange juice
lime sherbet
orange 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.

Oranges – Oranges are the most popular of all citrus fruits. They are absolutely packed with vitamin C and provide significant amounts of the flavonoids hesperidin and naringenin as well as carotenoids beta-cryptoxanthin and lycopene. Oranges promote healthy immune function, boost heart health, and have been shown to prevent anemia.

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 Making Tools Needed

Smoothie making tools, blenders, and airtight containers. — 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 glass or BPA-free airtight storage containers with a resealable lid.

How To Make The San Diego Smoothie At Home

The Jamba Juice Secret Menu San Diego smoothie is very easy to make:

Step 1: Place lemonade, orange juice, lime sherbet, orange sherbet, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.

Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.
