Jamba Juice Razzmatazz Recipe
As a long-time Jamba Juice fan, the Razzmatazz smoothie is one of my all-time favorites. The vibrant mix of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, bananas, orange sherbet, and apple juice creates a refreshing, antioxidant-packed beverage that satisfies my fruit smoothie cravings. However, a daily trip to Jamba Juice can get expensive. That’s why I decided to experiment in my kitchen to clone the Razzmatazz recipe so I can enjoy this nutrient-dense treat anytime.
In this article, I’ll share my easy Jamba Juice Razzmatazz recipe so you can recreate this delicious smoothie at home using natural ingredients. With just 5 minutes of prep time and a couple spins in the blender, you’ll have a chilled glass of fruity flavor bursting with vitamins and minerals. Let’s get blending!
Decoding the Razzmatazz Flavor Profile
So what exactly gives the Razzmatazz smoothie its unique taste and texture? Jamba Juice uses a specific blend of fruit that provides both sweet and tart flavors:
- Whole strawberries offer a mild, sweet taste and boost the smoothie’s vitamin C content.
- Blueberries bring a subtle tartness and antioxidant power with compounds like anthocyanins.
- Raspberries give the drink its signature pink-red hue and tangy zing.
- Frozen banana adds natural sweetness and gives the smoothie a thick, creamy texture.
In addition to the mixed berries and banana, a splash of apple juice provides a sweet base while orange sherbet lends a refreshing citrus twist. Blending everything together using a powerful blender like a Vitamix makes a chillable, spoonable smoothie with a stunning red-purple color.
This Jamba Juice dupe comes together in just 10 minutes. You likely have most, if not all, of the ingredients on hand already. The frozen fruit ensures this blender beverage will come out ice cold and thick. Let’s go over what you’ll need.
Razzmatazz Smoothie Ingredients
- 1 cup raspberries, frozen
- 1⁄4 cup strawberries, frozen
- 1⁄4 cup blueberries, frozen
- 1⁄2 banana, thickly sliced and frozen
- 1⁄2 cup orange sherbet or orange juice
- 1 cup apple juice
Frozen berries are key for giving this smoothie the ideal chilled texture without needing ice cubes. Allow the banana slices to freeze overnight on a baking sheet before adding to your blender. If you don’t have frozen fruit, simply substitute with fresh berries and a couple ice cubes.
Steps to Make Razzmatazz Smoothie
Ready to recreate this antioxidant-rich Jamba Juice classic? Follow these simple steps:
- Add 1 cup frozen raspberries, 1⁄4 cup frozen strawberries, 1⁄4 cup frozen blueberries, 1⁄2 frozen banana (sliced), 1⁄2 cup orange sherbet, and 1 cup apple juice to your blender.
- Secure the lid and start blending on low speed for 10 seconds to break up the frozen ingredients.
- Increase blender speed to high until the smoothie has a thick, creamy consistency with no visible fruit chunks, about 45 seconds.
- Pour smoothie into a tall glass and enjoy immediately for maximum thickness and chill. Add a reusable straw for sipping on the go.
Don’t have a Vitamix or powerful blender? You can still make this with a standard blender, but may need to stop and stir a few times to help break down the frozen ingredients. A few small chunks are perfectly fine for a delicious copycat result!
