Jamba Juice Withdrawals
Want to know a secret? Ok its not really a secret, but the husband and I dream about starting a smoothie shop.Call us dorky, nerdy, or foodie, but we do. In our opinion, they are never in convenient locations, like on your way to the beach.
My husband and I used to get Jamba Juice at least twice a week, even talked about one day buying into the franchise. Then all of the sudden, they all disappeared. No warning….depression set in.
We’ve tried a few other smoothie shops, but none of them seem to compare. For me, its hard to find a smoothie that’s mostly fruit, without added concentrate or sugars.
Luckily for me, the husband set out to come up with his own recipe for our favorite smoothie. And can I just tell you, I think its better than Jamba Juice!!!
Health Benefits
Almond milk- low in cholesterol and sodium, lactose free, and a great source of protein and magnesium
Strawberries- rich in antioxidants, dietary fiber and vitamin C
He now makes them every morning, and I think it’s the perfect, refreshing way to start my day and just what I crave after my run.
Give this smoothie a try! Super easy, but oh so good. Thank you to my amazing hubby for perfecting the recipe!
