Add the ingredients: Put the mango, pineapple, mango-passionfruit juice, pineapple sherbet and ice in a large blender.
Start blending: Pulse a few times, then start on low speed and gradually increase the speed.
Blend until smooth: Blend for about 1 minute, or until thick and completely smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy right away.
Substitutions and Variations
Use frozen fruit: Swap some or all of the fresh mango for frozen mango for an even thicker, frostier smoothie.
Switch the juice: If you can’t find mango-passionfruit juice, use mango juice with a splash of passionfruit juice. Pineapple juice can also work, although the flavor will be a little different.
Swap the sherbet: Pineapple sherbet gives you the closest flavor to this version, but mango or orange sherbet can be used for a slightly different tropical twist.
Adjust the consistency: Add a little more juice if your smoothie is too thick, or a handful of frozen mango or a few extra ice cubes if you prefer it thicker.
Serving Suggestions
Appetizer: Start your morning with your jamba juice mango smoothie, freshly made.
Main: Enjoy a hearty skillet breakfast or a batch of breakfast burritos. Another easy-to-make dish is these sheet pan eggs.
Dessert: End off with a sweet treat like my cream cheese berry Danish or these mini Italian doughnuts.
How to Store a Copycat Jamba Juice Smoothie
Store: This smoothie is definitely best enjoyed right after blending. If you have leftovers, keep them covered in the refrigerator and enjoy within a day. Give the smoothie a good stir or blend it again before drinking.
Freeze: Pour leftovers into an ice cube tray and freeze. You can blend the smoothie cubes with a splash of mango-passionfruit juice whenever you want another smoothie.
Top Tips
Go for ripe fruit: This is one recipe where really ripe mango makes a difference. The sweeter and juicier the fruit, the better the smoothie tastes.
Don’t dump in extra sweetener right away: Between the ripe fruit, juice and sherbet, I find there’s usually plenty of sweetness already. Taste it after blending before deciding it needs anything else.
Make it as thick as you like: I love a thick, frosty smoothie, so frozen mango is a great option. If your blender struggles with it, just add another splash of juice.
Start the blender slowly: Give everything a few pulses first, then gradually increase the speed. It helps get those fruit and ice chunks moving without everything getting stuck.
Drink it right away: This is not one I’d make hours ahead. It’s at its creamy, frosty best straight from the blender.
Copycat Jamba Juice Mango Smoothie FAQs
Frozen fruit and ice can sometimes get stuck around the blender blades. Add mango-passionfruit juice a little at a time and pulse the blender a few times before increasing the speed. Add only as much liquid as you need so the smoothie stays nice and thick.
Yes. Frozen mango works really well and makes the smoothie extra thick and frosty. You might need a little less ice or an extra splash of mango-passionfruit juice to help everything blend smoothly.
If you can’t find mango-passionfruit juice, try mango juice with a splash of passionfruit juice. Pineapple juice is another option, although it will give the smoothie a more pineapple-forward flavor.
