5-a-Day the Jamba way!
Jamba Juice recommends eating a colorful variety of fruits and vegetables to meet your daily requirement of five to nine servings. Our fresh smoothies are the tastiest way to support your healthy lifestyle.
According to the Produce for Better Health Foundation, Americans are eating only 3.6 servings daily and school age children and teenagers are among the many groups not eating the recommended amount. Furthermore, as concerns about obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and other health issues grow across America and especially in Hawaii, eating the proper amount of fruits and vegetables are critical for disease prevention.
The color in each fruit and vegetable represents a unique combination of vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytochemicals. Red, Green, Yellow/Orange, Blue/Purple and White.
