Jamba Juice. It’s the first place we all head to when we fancy a delicious smoothie. But how about if you are trying to avoid added sugar? Which Jamba Juice smoothie should you order if you want one with no added sugar? Well, that is a great question and one that I am going to answer in this post. I have already written a whole post on the smoothies at Jamba that contain the least total sugar but in this post, I am just going to look at which smoothies at Jamba Juice contain added sugar and which do not contain added sugar. Now just to make clear – Jamba Juice does not actually add sugar as an ingredient to their smoothies BUT some of their smoothies have ingredients added that contain sugar such as sherbet, chocolate moo’d dairy base, soy milk, coconut milk, lemonade, oat milk frozen dessert, and frozen yogurt. Some other Jamba Juice smoothies contain more natural forms of added sugar such as organic agave or honey. Finally, some smoothies at Jamba Juice contain no added sugar and just rely on the naturally occurring sugar in the fruit for sweetness. In this post, I will present you with all the Jamba Juice smoothies that contain ingredients with added sugar, all the smoothies that contain honey or agave, and all of the smoothies that just rely on the natural sweetness of the fruit.
So let’s dig in – does Jamba Juice add sugar to their smoothies?
