Fresh Juice After Running – A Jamba Juice Review + Giveaway.

This post brought to you by Jamba Juice. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Chicago Jogger.

Saturday morning started with a leisurely 4 mile run on neighborhood streets, ending with a stop at Jamba Juice in Lakeview to fuel with drinks from their Fresh Juice line. My husband and I tried two juices, and both were fresh pressed right in front of us and delivered within minutes. Drinks in the Ready to Drink Juice Platform are cold pressed and contain 100% juice with no preservatives.

Juice was the perfect fuel after a morning run. I only had a banana before we left, so I was ready for something delicious by the time we finished the workout. We tasted Kale Orange Power and Orange Berry Antioxidant:

• Orange Berry Antioxidant: For juice lovers that know the more, the merrier, we’ve squeezed this orange and double berry masterpiece. It’s The Works of Juices.
• Kale Orange Power: Green means go-go-go with this delicious blend of fresh orange juice, kale and bananas. And as good source of vitamins and manganese, it’s hard to stop sipping. Get ready for the perfect fuel to power through your day.

Both juices were flavorful and naturally sweet. Fresh juices are available from Jamba Juice in two sizes, 12 and 16 ounces. The Lakeview location also offers the Tropical Kick-Start and Triple Revitalizer juices, and wheat grass shots if you’re interested in another healthy boost. Juice options may vary by location, but the full menu includes plenty of options:

• Tropical Greens: For a truly tropical flavor, we’ve combined apples, pineapples, Supergreens, and Chia seeds. This is one island that will never be deserted.
• Citrus Kick: When you really want to bring up the brightness in your day, try this blend of oranges, apples, pineapples, and ginger. Just don’t forget your sunglasses.
• Veggie Harvest: Take some apples. Then take some carrots, and beets, and super greens and ginger. Then take a minute to drink it all down and wonder how you ever got through your day without it.
• Orange Reviver: When your day feels like 5 days, revive with an Orange Reviver. We’ve taken oranges, apples, bananas, beets and Chia seeds and turned them into a spirit-lifting, taste bud-hugging masterpiece of mixology.
• Carrot Cayenne: Carrots. Apples. Ginger. Cayenne Pepper. It’s carrot with a kick, and it’s going to wake up taste buds you never even knew you had.

• Garden Medley: Is there such a thing as too many servings of vegetables? Not when they make up a melodious medley like this. Try one and enjoy delicious, perfectly portioned vegetables and a splash of apple, all living together in perfect harmony. Just like Mother Nature intended.
• Orange Carrot Twist: The fresh, tangy brightness of the orange meets the smooth, earthy sweetness of the carrot. Some things were just meant to be.
• Triple Revitalizer: Do bananas have juice? Yep. But don’t take our word for it, just ask the oranges and carrots in this awesome blend of potassium-loaded goodness.
• Tropical Kick-Start: We took the American breakfast staple on a trip to the tropics. The result? A juice blend that will take your taste buds on vacation.

I love how convenient Jamba Juice is and the huge list of of Fresh Squeezed Juices available for a quick, on the go drink. Jamba Juice has always been my number one airport stop for a smoothie while traveling. After trying the Fresh Juice line, I’m also adding it to my list as a stop for healthy, paleo fuel after running.
