A simple menu with several unique offerings is designed to offer healthy wellness for all. Innovative ingredients target specific self-care regimens, promoting vitality and delivering to your body the nutrients it needs to thrive.

Juice It Up was also an early pioneer of the Acai superfruit. In 2001, they were the first to incorporate the purple antioxidant-rich powerhouse into commercial smoothie and smoothie bow offerings. Needless to say, the Acai experiment has successfully borne fruit. Juice It Up’s biggest competitors are Jamba Juice and Smoothie King.

The following smoothie recipes are either exactly the same as, or a close approximation of, the actual Juice It Up recipes used at their retail locations. For your convenience, we have also included a list of enhancers and supplements that mirror Juice It Up’s add-ons.

Equipment Needed

Smoothie Making Tools
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 a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.


How To Make Juice It Up Smoothies

Juice It Up 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.
