This Apples And Greens Jamba Juice Recipe is a refreshing, nutrient-packed smoothie made with apple juice, kale, mango, peach, and banana. Naturally sweet and vibrant, it’s a delicious way to enjoy a homemade version of the popular Jamba Juice favorite.
Tip: Always start with the liquid—it helps frozen ingredients blend better.
Prepare the Ingredients: Ensure all fruit and kale are frozen prior to blending. This allows for a thick, smooth consistency without the need for ice. If fresh fruit is used, adding a handful of ice cubes can help achieve the desired texture.
Combine Ingredients in Blender: In a high-speed blender, pour in the apple juice first. Then, add the frozen kale, mango, peach, and banana. Placing the liquid at the bottom helps facilitate a smoother blend.
Blend Until Smooth: Begin blending at a low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend for 30-60 seconds, or until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture reaches a smooth consistency. If the smoothie is too thick, add a small amount of additional apple juice to adjust the texture. If it appears too thin, add more frozen fruit for a thicker consistency.
Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass and serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Optional: Garnish with a few apple slices or a sprinkle of chia seeds for a boost.
