Equipment Needed To Make At Home

Smoothie Making Tools
Smoothie Making Tools

A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.

If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.

For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.


How To Make The Blue Gummy Bear Smoothie At Home

The Jamba Juice Secret Menu Blue Gummy Bear smoothie is very easy to make:

  • Step 1: Place blueberries, raspberry juice, soy milk, lime sherbet, orange sherbet, pineapple sherbet, raspberry sherbet, and crushed ice into a blender and secure the lid.
  • Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
  • Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
  • Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Recipe Tips And Substitutions

If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.

Whole fresh berries can be substituted for the raspberry juice, just add a little water to maintain consistency.

Almond milk or coconut milk can be substituted for the soy milk and still keep this delicious smoothie dairy-free.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions

Who makes Gummy Bear candies?

Gummy bears were originally created by Haribo, a German confectionery company founded by Hans Riegel in 1920. The creation of gummy bears spurred many other companies globally to make their own versions, including the Albanese Candy Company in the U.S. and Trolli, another German candy maker. The market has since expanded to include options such as organic, vegan, and all-natural gummy bears catering to health-conscious consumers.

How much sugar is in one serving of berries?

The sugar content can vary depending on the type of berries. For instance, one cup (approximately 144 grams) of raw strawberries contains about 7 grams of sugar, while the same amount of blueberries contains around 15 grams of sugar. Raspberries and blackberries have a similar sugar content to strawberries, making them some of the lower-sugar fruits available.
