We interrupt our regularly programmed reviews of local gems for this tribute to a stellar location of a chain that I adore. I am giving myself a pass because there is a dearth of local smoothie joints in this town!
Really, I have my husband to thank for the amazing times we have at this Jamba. He has made buddies with all the smooth(ie) operators. They know him now, so they are always chipper and eager to prepare a superior smoothie. On our last visit, they shared with us the Jamba secret menu, prepared a selection from the mysterious menu, and had us do smoothie shots!
My Pomegranate Paradise is always prepared tartly just how I love it. Note: I appreciate the All Fruit smoothie options sans sherbet, yogurt, etc. My other favorite treats here are the oatmeal and acai topper-- a magical combination of acai, soy milk (nice for the vegans out there!) and granola and... other delicious items. For a breakfast on the go, you can't beat the oatmeal and/or acai topper.
Combine this with the top-notch service at this location, and I've found my winning smoothie operation (until Mom and Pop get it together and open up a competitive contender).
