According to Jamba's official allergen menu, many of their standard smoothies contain dairy, especially in classic blends that use sherbet or frozen yogurt. This comprehensive guide explains which Jamba Juice smoothies are dairy free by default, how to modify others, and important cross-contamination considerations for 2025.

Quick Summary

Many Jamba smoothies can be made dairy-free by opting for plant-based milk alternatives and omitting dairy bases like sherbet or yogurt. Certain menu items are naturally dairy-free, though allergen caution is necessary.

Key Points

Check the 'Plant-Based' Menu: Jamba offers several naturally dairy-free smoothies, including Apple 'n Greens, Peach Perfection, and Vanilla Blue Sky.
Customize Classic Smoothies: For classic smoothies containing sherbet or frozen yogurt, request plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat) and ask to substitute extra fruit for the dairy base.
Avoid Chocolate-Based Drinks: The "Moo'd" chocolate base used in some smoothies contains dairy and cannot be made dairy-free.
Mind Cross-Contamination: Always inform staff of your dairy allergy and, if necessary, request that they use a fresh, clean pitcher and utensils to prepare your order.
Confirm Add-Ons: Be cautious with boosts, as some, like whey protein, contain dairy. Opt for plant-based protein boosts instead.
Skip the Honey: When ordering a vegan or dairy-free smoothie, ask to omit any honey or substitute with agave nectar.

Navigating Jamba Juice's Dairy-Free Menu

For those with dairy allergies or who follow a vegan diet, navigating the menu at Jamba Juice requires careful attention. While many classic smoothies contain dairy-based ingredients like sherbet or frozen yogurt, the good news is that Jamba offers a variety of naturally dairy-free options and provides alternatives to customize most other drinks. Understanding which base ingredients to look out for and how to make smart substitutions is key to enjoying a delicious, dairy-free treat.

Naturally Dairy-Free Smoothies (Plant-Based)

Jamba's menu includes a selection of smoothies from their 'Plant-Based' or 'Fruit & Veggie' sections that do not contain dairy ingredients by default. These are often made with juice blends, fruit, and vegetable bases. Naturally dairy-free options include Apple 'n Greens, Greens 'n Ginger, Mega Mango, Peach Perfection, Strawberry Whirl, and Vanilla Blue Sky.

How to Customize Classic Smoothies to be Dairy-Free

For classic smoothies that traditionally contain dairy, like the Razzmatazz or Mango-A-Go-Go, the main obstacle is usually the sherbet or frozen yogurt. You can often modify these drinks by requesting a non-dairy base (almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk), substituting frozen yogurt or sherbet with extra frozen fruit, and specifying no honey or requesting agave. The chocolate base in smoothies like Moo'd Chocolate is dairy-based and cannot be made dairy-free.

Plant-Based Milks and Add-Ons
