“Every sip of the Watermelon Breeze transports me to a tropical paradise; it’s fruity, it’s fresh, and that hint of sherbet makes it delightfully playful.”
🙂 Angie L.
Watermelon Breeze, a copycat featured blend Jamba Juice recipe, is a delightful fusion of juicy watermelon, tangy pineapples, and sweet strawberries, blended seamlessly with a hint of grape juice and a creamy scoop of raspberry sherbet. This beverage strikes a perfect balance between refreshing and indulgent, making it an ideal escape from the summer heat or a vibrant start to any day.
This smoothie offers a plethora of health benefits: watermelon hydrates and provides vitamins A and C, pineapples bring digestive enzymes like bromelain, and strawberries contribute antioxidants. The grape juice adds a touch of natural sweetness along with resveratrol, beneficial for heart health, while the raspberry sherbet introduces a small amount of calcium and a fun, frosty texture.

Health Benefits
Pineapples – Pineapples are popular tangy tropical fruit that, surprising to most, originated in South America, not Hawaii. They are absolutely loaded with antioxidants and nutrients, including a ridiculously high amount of vitamin C (1 serving = 131% of the recommended daily intake), manganese, vitamin B6, and thiamin. Pineapples also contain a significant amount of the digestive enzymes bromelain that can help fight pancreatic cancer.

Strawberries – Strawberries are a flavorful staple of many healthy smoothies and shakes. They are an excellent source of several important antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds including pelargonidin, ellagic acid, ellagitannins, and procyanidins. Strawberries are widely known to decrease the risk of heart disease, help regulate blood sugar, and reduce the risk of certain cancers.

Watermelon – Watermelon originates from Africa and was first domesticated more than 4,000 years ago. It contains a variety of nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium. In addition to keeping you hydrated, watermelon is known to inhibit tumor growth in various cancers and help prevent age-related macular degeneration.

Grape Juice – Grapes have been cultivated for thousands of years and offer a host of nutritional health benefits. They are rich in vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, copper, and potassium. The antioxidant resveratrol in Grapes helps lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, and protect against heart disease.

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 Watermelon Breeze Smoothie
The Jamba Juice Watermelon Breeze smoothie is very easy to make:
- Step 1: Place pineapples, strawberries, watermelon, grape juice, and raspberry sherbet 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.
If you’re looking for a less sweet version, you could swap grape juice with unsweetened coconut water.
For those who prefer a vegan option, use a plant-based sherbet or even frozen banana for creaminess.
Adding a handful of spinach or kale can boost the nutritional content without overpowering the flavors.
