This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UVA chapter.

Jamba Juice is one of the most popular and widespread places to grab a smoothie in the United States. They have a growing list of fans with unique tastes that Jamba Juice encourages to make their own perfect concoctions. 

This has resulted in the creation of the Jamba Juice secret menu. The most dedicated customers have accumulated recipes for these off-the-books concoctions that are inspired by everything from candy to cities. 

If you’re ready to switch up your normal smoothie order, try one of these Jamba Juice secret menu smoothies.
