The Jamba Green Fusion fruit and veggie smoothie is the latest in a long line of frozen at-home smoothie kits developed by Inventure Foods Inc. in partnership with smoothie retailer Jamba Juice Co.
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 8-oz. glass contains just 120 calories, when prepared according to directions using apple juice, and provides a full serving of fruit. In addition, each glass provides 100 percent of the recommended dietary allowance of vitamin C, 40 percent of the RDA of vitamin A and 25 percent of the RDA of vitamins D, E, K, B1 and B6. The new smoothie kit comes in an 8-oz. bag, which yields two servings, and is merchandised in the frozen section of grocery stores. The suggested retail price is $2.99-3.49.
