What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Next Step: Jamba Juice Copycat Smoothie! Everyone gets excited with a copycat version of a well-known brand. Some knockoffs make it, others fall short. I have the advantage of living with a food critic in my own home, my husband. So when I asked him to taste my version of the Caribbean Passion Smoothie, he was very accommodating. Afterward, my favorite question to ask was, “Would you have this again if I made it?” Sometimes the truth hurts, but this time his smile said it all. Here’s a helpful hint: frozen fruit can be thawed slightly and substituted for fresh. Caution: Take it easy. If you slurp it too fast, prepare for a “brain freeze”.
JAMBA JUICE COPYCAT SMOOTHIE
Ingredients:
1 cup organic apricot mango juice
1 cup fresh strawberries, tops removed and cut-up
1/2 heaping cup peach slices, if frozen slightly thawed
1 cup orange sherbet
1/2 cup ice
Instructions:
Combine apricot mango juice, cut-up strawberries, sliced peaches, orange sherbet, and ice cubes together in a blender. Pulse to purée, then blend on High until smooth. If necessary, turn off blender to scrape down sides with a rubber spatula. Resume. Mixture should be slushy. Pour into glasses. Serve immediately.
I’m still wondering if summer is going to be a rumor or if it really will show up next month. So smoothies help me to believe it’ll happen . . .
