“Tastes like a splash of summer … incredibly refreshing, and the balance of flavors makes it a delightful escape from the heat.”
🙂 Arianne T.
Watermelon Breeze Dairy Free, a copycat plant-based blend Jamba Juice recipe, is a refreshing oasis in a glass. It combines the juicy sweetness of watermelon and strawberries with the tropical hint of pineapple, all blended smoothly with the subtle nuttiness of oat milk and a splash of grape juice for depth. This concoction is not just hydrating but also bursts with summer flavors, making it an ideal pick-me-up on a hot day.
This smoothie is a hydration powerhouse thanks to the high water content of watermelon, which also offers lycopene, an antioxidant known for its heart health benefits. Strawberries add vitamin C and manganese, while pineapples bring in bromelain, aiding digestion. Grape juice provides antioxidants, and oat milk contributes fiber and can be easier on the digestive system than dairy, making this smoothie both nutritious and gut-friendly.

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.

Oat Milk – Oat milk is a popular choice for people with certain food allergies or lactose intolerance. It provides significant vitamin A, vitamin B12, vitamin D, phosphorous, and riboflavin. Oat milk is totally vegan, lowers LDL cholesterol, and is great for bone health.

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 Dairy Free Smoothie
The Jamba Juice Watermelon Breeze Dairy Free smoothie is very easy to make:
- Step 1: Place pineapples, strawberries, watermelon, grape juice, and oat milk 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.
You can replace grape juice with apple juice for a different sweetness profile.
Add a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient kick without significantly altering the taste.
For those who enjoy a creamier texture, adding a quarter of an avocado can give you that without dairy.
