Smoothie Recipes

Today you get a real treat, Jamba Juice recipes. I've tried to be as thorough and comprehensive as possible.  I have old recipes, new ones, and "special orders" ones that are not on the menu board.  I used their website to figure out the ingredients.  Jamba lists all the ingredients for their smoothies on their website and I just filled in the amounts.  I've tried out a lot of them and they are very similar. On their website it says, "We want to give you the opportunity to use these formulations to make your own smoothies at home."  I have experimented and tried and they taste quite good.  I'm enjoying Peach Pleasure as I type this.

A little knowledge about these recipes.
1 scoop = ½ cup
5-6 ice cubes is about 1 cup crushed ice
Frozen fruit is so important to make them have the same texture as Jamba Juice.  You can use fresh fruit and get a thinner smoothie.

I bought a Blendtec blender like the ones they use at Jamba Juice to make these smoothies. My favorite part it is self cleaning. Click here to find the blender on Amazon.

Hope you enjoy, I sure am.

Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate

One of my favorite things to do is pick fresh food. Today I picked lots of strawberries and canned them into a delicious strawberry lemonade. This juice is great for a hot summer day.



Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate
Author: Jennifer Crowther
Yield: 7 Pintes
Prep Time: 15 Min Cook time: 15 Min

INGREDIENTS:
  • 6 cups hulled strawberries
  • 4 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 6 cups of granulated sugar
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Puree the strawberries in a blender. Fresh squeeze the lemon juice (a juicer makes it go faster).
  2. Combine lemon juice, sugar, and strawberries, heat to 190 degrees Fahrenheit over low heat, this enables the sugar to melt.
  3. Ladle into hot jars leaving 1/4" head space, wipe rim with damp cloth. Screw lid and band onto jar.
  4. Process jars for 15 minutes in boiling water, making sure water completely covers the jars.
  5. Let cool in place 24 hours, make sure it has sealed by pressing down on the top of the can, the lid should not pop back up. Label the jars.
  6. When ready to serve mix concentrate with 1 pint water.


This recipe came out well for me. It tastes nice and fresh, but there are a few things I would do differently.
-I used half fresh squeezed lemon juice and bottled juice. I would recommend only using fresh squeezed lemon juice. The bottled juice leaves and aftertaste.
-I would try juicing the strawberries instead of pureeing them, leaving a little pulp for taste in the juice.
