"We're excited to launch our innovative line of Almond Milk Smoothies that not only provide a healthier seasonal drink alternative, but can also be enjoyed by our customers who are vegan and dairy-free," said Julie S. Washington, chief marketing and innovation officer, Jamba Juice Company. "Jamba Juice's Almond Milk Smoothies offer a delicious and nutritious way for consumers to maintain healthy habits all year long, while still delighting in the indulgent flavors of the season."

Jamba Juice's Almond Milk Smoothies are available in three creamy flavors, each offering an excellent source of calcium and at least one serving of fruit:


    --  Peanut Butter & Berries: A non-dairy smoothie that captures everyone's
        favorite combo - peanut butter and jelly - blending almond milk, peanut
        butter, blueberries, strawberries, and dates for a deliciously nostalgic
        PB&J option.
    --  Pumpkin: A non-dairy smoothie bursting with fall's favorite flavor,
        pumpkin, mixed with almond milk, bananas, and a hint of cinnamon and
        nutmeg.
    --  Matcha Green Tea: A non-dairy smoothie that blends the goodness of
        Matcha green tea with almond milk, bananas, kale, and dates for an
        antioxidant-rich pick-me-up of vitamins A & C.

"The demand for almond milk is soaring, as it's not only delicious tasting, but also plant-based, completely vegan, and cholesterol and lactose-free," said Liz Ward, RD and Jamba Juice Healthy Living Council member. "Almond milk is also fortified with calcium, vitamin D, vitamin A, and vitamin E - a potent antioxidant that helps protect cells against everyday damage. As such, Jamba Juice's Almond Milk Smoothies are a great alternative to the high-calorie seasonal treats that often tempt us during this time of year."

For a limited time only from Sept. 24 - Sept. 29, 2015, Jamba Juice guests can enjoy these new Almond Milk Smoothies for $3 with a coupon found at JambaJuice.com. For more information, including complete nutrition facts, please visit www.JambaJuice.com.
