"Strawberries are a natural, nutrient-rich treat packed with phytochemicals and antioxidants, like immunity-boosting vitamin C, which is vital to the promotion of heart and brain health," explained nationally recognized nutrition expert, Elizabeth M. Ward, MS, RD. Ward is also an award-winning author of My Plate for Moms, a WebMD contributor, and a Jamba Healthy Living Council^™ member. She went on to add, "a single serving—one cup or eight large strawberries—contains 86.5 mg of vitamin C, which more than satisfies the daily requirement, and the strawberry smoothies at Jamba Juice^® provide between 60 to 90 percent of that daily requirement."

Strawberries Wild, Strawberry Surf Rider and Jamba Kids Strawberries Gone Bananas smoothies will quench your craving for juicy summer strawberries while providing at least 2.5 servings of fruit. Blended with real whole fruit and fruit juice, Jamba's strawberry smoothies are non-gluten, vegetarian and contain no high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors or artificial preservatives.
