Name: Caribbean Passion Smoothie (Jamba Kitchen-style!)
Yield: 2

Caribbean Passion Smoothie is a favorite—this Jamba Juice copycat is made with passion fruit juice, a blend of frozen fruit, ice, and orange sherbet.

Caribbean Passion Smoothie

This tropical smoothie combines so many good fruit flavors — passionfruit, mango, peaches, strawberries, and orange. It’s intensely fruity, very sweet, and ultra thick. Just like you expect from Jamba Juice®, you can expect from this recipe!

It is satisfying to being able to re-create a reliable smoothies like this Jamba Juice strawberry wild and this Caribbean Passion Smoothie from the comfort of my home.

Caribbean Passion Smoothie Ingredients

Passion fruit juice. If you can’t find look for a juice with passion fruit and mango for the best tropical flavor.
Orange sherbet. For a dairy-free version, try orange or mango sorbet. Vanilla frozen yogurt is an option but less tropical.
Frozen strawberries, frozen mango, and frozen peaches. Use frozen fruit for a thick, cold smoothie.
Ice. Ice helps thicken and chill the smoothie. Pebble ice works especially well for blending.

Quick Tip

I sometimes purchase rainbow sherbet (instead of plain orange sherbet) and scoop out the orange sherbet for this recipe then use the other two sherbet flavors for different smoothies or desserts.

Caribbean Passion Smoothie Tips

When measuring the frozen fruit, pack it into a measuring cup to get an accurate measurement.
It’s helpful to add liquids into the blender first with frozen fruit and ice on top. This can help avoid blender cavitation.
To get a thick smoothie consistency, you’ll want to use a high-powered blender. mix in between blending bursts if needed.
While it might seem silly to actually measure out the ingredients for this smoothie (instead of just eye-balling and throwing everything in), I do recommend measuring ingredients the first few times you make this Caribbean Passion Smoothie. Throwing random ingredients in a blender can often end up giving you way too much smoothie or the beverage can end up tasting off.

Storage

This Caribbean passion smoothie is best enjoyed right after blending.
If you don’t think the whole batch will be finished, It is worth halving the recipe before blending.
