Orange Dream Machine takes its name from one of Jamba's most popular smoothies.  This newest "at home" smoothie is characterized by an inspired blend of tangy and sweet peach and orange fruits, vanilla flavored non-fat yogurt, and a signature Jamba antioxidant boost of Vitamin C.  One bag of Orange Dream Machine, blended with apple juice, makes two delicious eight-ounce smoothies with just 140 calories per serving. 

While its great taste provides plenty of appeal, consumers looking for better-for-you snacks will be happy to know that each serving of Orange Dream Machine contains a full serving of fruit, 100% daily value of Vitamin C and no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. In fact, the entire line of Jamba® All Natural Smoothies are naturally low in sugar and calories and contain zero trans fats and no high-fructose corn syrup.

"A new year brings new resolutions, including dreams of healthier, yet tasty, snack options," said Steve Sklar, senior vice president marketing, Inventure Foods. "Orange Dream Machine smoothies make those dreams a reality by providing a delicious and refreshing snack that tastes wonderfully indulgent with a balance of orange and vanilla flavors, but is low in calories at the same time."

Phoenix-based Inventure Foods launched the Jamba "at home" smoothie kit line under a licensing agreement with Jamba Juice Company (NASDAQ: JMBA), a leading healthy, active lifestyle brand. Since the original launch of Jamba® All Natural Smoothies in 2010, Inventure Foods reports that over 12,000 retail stores nationwide have added the product to their shelves.
