Jamba Juiced!

Our stoked freebie grabber had a free jamba juice creamy smoothie care of his aloha card. He was only supposed to get the classic smoothie but the jamba juice crew was kind enough to give him a 16oz peanut butter moo’d creamy smoothie with a free energy boost. He wanted a 22oz (medium) but it would be pushing the courtesy too far so he settled for the small one.

The drink

The peanut butter moo’d creamy smoothie consists of a chocolate base, soymilk, lots of peanut butter and frozen yogurt and banana. The extra energy boost was made of soymilk too (perhaps). It tasted great for a smoothie. For calorie conscious drinkers, our blogger got this drink to get the extra calories (around 500 calories in one drink :) )

The price

A small drink would be around P135-150  while the largest ones are between P195-200+. Medium-sized drinks would fall anywhere in between. It is pretty decent and is not too far from Starbucks coffee. For health conscious non-coffee drinkers, this is really a good alternative

The store

The store had a ‘jamba juice live photobooth’ where one can take a snapshot with their friends while waiting for their drink. The photos can then be emailed right away to an email address of your choosing. A cool way to be reminded of the jamba juice experience. Particularly for the first timers.

The seats weren’t very comfortable and can use some improvement. A homey feel would really be a plus for those who want to hang out and not just buy their drinks to-go.

The location

The store was a little far. Considering most of the action is within boni high street, you’ll have to cross R.O.X (about 3 streets from Market!Market!). There is an ongoing development within the area though. A theatre-like area is being constructed and may prove to be a strategic spot for jamba juice’s first store here in the Philippines
