Jamba Juice alleges that the popular smoothie chain that touts ingredients like “real fruit” isn’t as good for you as it claims. The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a nonprofit known for calling B.S. food companies, brought the case, saying the so-called “whole” ingredients disguise what the products actually are: desserts, not snacks. Jamba Juice is healthy for you, or is it all just marketing fluff? Sorry smoothie fans, but it’s true that these drinks get an undeserving health halo. You are better off eating actual produce and considering Jamba Juice a treat instead of a regular meal. So, let’s learn about types of Jamba juice recipes.
