Tips for Jamba Style Smoothies at Home
- Liquid goes in first. Pour the juice or milk in before the fruit so the blades can move freely.
- Use frozen fruit. Frozen fruit gives you that thick, slushy texture without adding ice that waters the flavor down.
- Keep frozen bananas ready. Peel ripe bananas, freeze them in a single layer in a zip top bag, and you will always have a creamy base on hand.
- Start low, then go high. Begin on a lower speed and work up to high until smooth. Use the tamper if your blender has one.
- Adjust the thickness. Too thick? Add a splash more juice. Too thin? Add a few more pieces of frozen fruit.
- Serve right away. Smoothies taste best and hold their texture best right after blending.

- What blender works best for smoothies? A strong, high powered blender gives the smoothest texture with frozen fruit. I use a Vitamix.
