Jamba Juice Company, Inc, Emeryville, CA, has introduced its Green Fusion smoothie, which combines the antioxidant power of fruit with a generous dose of vitamins from leafy green vegetables. This smoothie is the latest in a line of frozen “at home” smoothie kit varieties developed by Phoenix, AZ-based food manufacturer Inventure Foods, Inc., in partnership with Jamba Juice.
Green Fusion combines green apple, mango, pineapple, kiwi, banana, broccoli, spinach and spirulina to offer a sweet yet hearty smoothie appropriate for morning commutes, post-workout recovery or a better-for-you snack. Each eight-ounce glass contains just 120 calories and provides a full serving of fruit. In addition, each glass provides 100% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of vitamin C, 40 percent of the RDA of vitamin A and 25% of the RDA of vitamins D, E, K, B1 and B6.
Each smoothie kit contains whole pieces of frozen fruit and vegetable blocks that, when blended with one cup of apple juice, makes two, eight-ounce servings. Green Fusion is the sixth variety of Jamba smoothies, with additional varieties including Strawberries Wild, Mango-a-Go-Go, Razzmatazz, Caribbean Passion and Orange Dream Machine.
“We're excited to take our expertise in the frozen berry business and apply it to our first vegetable fusion smoothie,” said Steve Sklar, senior vice president marketing for Phoenix-based Inventure Foods, Inc. “The Green Fusion smoothie is on trend with today's consumer who is looking for a refreshing, great tasting smoothie that provides a substantial boost of vitamins and a full serving of fruit.”
