Jamba Juice was founded in 1990 by Kirk Perron, in San Louis Obispo, California, under the name Juice Club. Jamba Juice’s original vision was “to inspire and simplify healthy living.” In 1999, Jamba Juice purchased the Zuka Juice chain, propelling the franchise to its current popular status as the world’s premiere provider of great tasting fruit smoothies and fresh squeezed juices.
Jamba Juice currently has 750 locations in the United States and is beginning to expand internationally. Presently, Jamba Juice is making a large push into the rapidly expanding Chinese market where imitation stores have popped up under the name Jambo Juice. Jamba’s biggest competitors are Smoothie King and Juice It Up.
The following smoothie recipes are either exactly the same as, or a close approximation of, the actual Jamba Juice recipes used at their retail locations. For your convenience, we have also included a list of supplements that mirror Jamba Juice Boosts. Also, be sure to check out some “off-the-menu” favorites on our Jamba Juice Secret Menu page!
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 Jamba Juice Smoothies
Jamba Juice smoothies are very easy to make:
- Step 1: Place ingredients 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.

Jamba Juice Strawberry Surf Rider Smoothie Recipe
The Jamba Juice Strawberry Surf Rider Smoothie tastes like a refreshingly sweet and summery lemonade with peach and berry highlights. This recipe will show you how to make one.
Ingredients
- ½ cup peaches, frozen
- 1 cup strawberries, frozen
- 1 cup lemonade
- ½ cup lime sherbet
- 1 cup ice
- 1 scoop Collagen Boost, optional
Instructions
- Place peaches, strawberries, lemonade, lime sherbet, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.
- 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.

Notes
- 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.
- Regular sherbet with a squeeze of lime juice can be substituted for the lime sherbet without significantly changing the flavor profile.
