Razzmatazz Smoothie Recipe (Jamba Juice Copycat)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It’s been a fun challenge duplicating Jamba Juice’s refreshing smoothies with only 4 ingredients, and this Razzmatazz copycat is one of my favorites.

Orange juice, strawberries, a banana and frozen organic mixed berries blend into a thick, slushy berry smoothie that tastes just like the one at Jamba. It’s dairy free, there’s no sherbet, and it’s ready in about a minute.

The Best Jamba Juice Razzmatazz Copycat (4 Ingredients)

Have you tried my Mango-A-Go-Go recipe yet? I can’t decide which one I love more! I love the tropical mango flavor in that one, and I love the sweet taste of strawberries and raspberries in this Razzmatazz smoothie. Who says we need to choose favorites, right? You can find every one of my copycats in my Jamba Juice copycat recipes.

All it takes is four ingredients: orange juice, strawberries, a banana and frozen organic mixed berries. There’s no sherbet and no yogurt, so it’s dairy free, and the frozen berries give it that thick, slushy Jamba texture in about a minute.

When I buy frozen mixed berries, I choose organic. I know, I know, it’s slightly more expensive, but isn’t your health worth it? After noticeably tasting the difference, I choose organic fruits and vegetables when I can.

The same goes for orange juice. I’m an avid water drinker, but when I need juice for recipes I only buy Simply Orange. It’s not from concentrate, and you can taste the quality. Enjoy your homemade Jamba, my friends!

Why You’ll Love This Razzmatazz Smoothie

• Just 4 ingredients. Orange juice, strawberries, banana and mixed berries.
• Thick and slushy. Frozen berries give it that Jamba texture without ice.
• Dairy free. No yogurt, no sherbet, just fruit and juice.
• Ready in a minute. Add everything to the blender and blend.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Exact amounts are in the recipe card below.

• 100% natural orange juice: Two cups. Read the label and skip juices with added sugar or preservatives. I like Simply Orange because it’s not from concentrate. Orange juice is the only liquid here, so it keeps the blender moving and adds a bright citrus note under all those berries. Pulp or no pulp is up to you.
• Fresh oranges (optional swap): No juice on hand? Use two large peeled oranges instead of the orange juice. Whole oranges make a slightly thicker smoothie, since you’re blending in the fruit along with the juice. Pick out any seeds first. Sweet, juicy oranges give you the best flavor.
• Strawberries: One cup, fresh or frozen. Strawberries are the sweet backbone of the Razzmatazz flavor. Pull off the green tops first, and know that frozen strawberries will make the smoothie even thicker. A bag of frozen strawberries is handy to keep in the freezer, so you can make this anytime.
• Banana: One peeled banana adds body and natural sweetness. A frozen banana makes it even thicker and colder. Use a ripe, yellow banana. It’s sweeter and blends smoother than a green one, and it makes the smoothie creamy without any dairy. Bananas are inexpensive, so they’re easy to keep on hand for smoothies.
• Frozen organic mixed berries: Two cups. They give the Razzmatazz its berry flavor and slushy texture. Mixed berry blends usually include raspberries along with other berries, which gives you that deep color and a sweet and tart flavor. Because they’re frozen, they chill and thicken the smoothie the way ice would, without watering it down. Look for bags with no added sugar or syrup. I buy organic because I can taste the difference.

No sherbet, no yogurt and no ice. Just fruit and juice, which is why it tastes so fresh. Keep a bag of frozen organic mixed berries in the freezer, and homemade Jamba is about a minute away.

How to Make a Razzmatazz Smoothie

1. Add the juice first. Pour the orange juice into a high powered blender. If you’re using fresh oranges instead, add the peeled oranges first and give them a quick blend so there’s liquid at the bottom.
2. Add the fruit in the order listed: strawberries, banana and frozen mixed berries. Putting the softer fruit in before the frozen berries keeps the heavy, frozen pieces on top, where they get pulled down into the blades. Break the banana into a few pieces so it blends evenly.
3. Blend on high until smooth and slushy. Start low, then bring it up to high. Stop when you don’t see any whole berries and the color is a deep, even purple. It should pour slowly, thick but not chunky. Pour and enjoy right away.

Getting the Perfect Slushy Texture

If the smoothie is too thick to blend, add a splash more orange juice and pulse until it moves again. If it’s thinner than you’d like, add a few more frozen berries or use a frozen banana. For an extra thick, spoonable smoothie, use frozen strawberries and a frozen banana along with the frozen berries. Serve it right after blending, since a fruit smoothie starts to melt and separate as it sits.

I really cannot go a day without my Vitamix. If you’re going to make awesome smoothies, a quality blender is the must of all musts. Read why I decided to buy a Vitamix. I’ve heard good things about BlendTec and Ninja, but I will always be faithful to Vitamix.

Razzmatazz Smoothie FAQs

• What is in a Jamba Juice Razzmatazz? Jamba describes it as a mixed berry flavor. This copycat uses orange juice, strawberries, a banana and frozen mixed berries. The strawberries and mixed berries give it that sweet, tart flavor and deep color.
• Can I use fresh oranges instead of orange juice? Yes. Swap the 2 cups of juice for two large peeled oranges. Whole oranges make the smoothie a little thicker, so peel them well and pick out any seeds.
• Is this Razzmatazz copycat dairy free? Yes. It’s made with only fruit and juice, with no yogurt or sherbet. The banana and frozen berries make it thick and creamy without any dairy.
• Can I use a frozen banana? Yes. A frozen banana makes the smoothie thicker and colder. Peel it before freezing so it’s ready to toss into the blender.
• Do I need to add ice? No. The frozen mixed berries make it thick and slushy, so ice would only water down the flavor and can leave little chunks behind.
• Why add the juice first? Liquid on the bottom lets the blades spin freely, so the frozen berries get pulled down and blend into a smooth, slushy smoothie.
• Can I make it ahead? It’s best right after blending, while it’s thick and frosty. A smoothie made with frozen fruit starts to melt and separate as it sits.
• Do I need a Vitamix? A quality, high powered blender gives you the smoothest texture. I use a Vitamix, but any strong blender that can handle frozen fruit will work.
• Why choose organic mixed berries? I can taste the difference, so I buy organic fruit when I can, especially frozen berries for smoothies. Conventional frozen berries will still work in this recipe.
