Jamba Juice Celebrates Autumn With The Return Of The Popular Pumpkin Smash Smoothie

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Oct. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Jamba Juice Company (NASDAQ: JMBA), a leading healthy, active lifestyle brand, is bringing customers a taste of the pumpkin season with the return of a fall favorite, the Pumpkin Smash^® smoothie. Blended with real pumpkin and seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg, the Pumpkin Smash smoothie from Jamba Juice^® is a fresh take on a holiday tradition with flavors reminiscent of grandma's homemade pumpkin pie.

"Fall is the season of pumpkins—the time when they are at their ripest and most abundant," explained nationally recognized nutrition expert, author and Jamba Healthy Living Council^™ member, Elizabeth M. Ward, MS, RD. "Since pumpkins are a rich and natural source of beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A and is essential for eye health, indulging in treats made healthfully with this super food ingredient is encouraged during this time of year!"

An excellent source of vitamin A, Jamba's Pumpkin Smash smoothie is also a delicious way to get important nutrients like calcium and protein. The better-for-you treat is also available in a Make It Light^™ version for the same delightful taste, but with 1/3 fewer sugar, calories and carbs.

"We are thrilled to be bringing back the Pumpkin Smash smoothie to our stores, exclusively during these autumn months," said Julie S. Washington, senior vice president and chief brand officer, Jamba Juice Company. "At Jamba Juice, we are deeply committed to supporting healthy, active lifestyles and inspiring others to Live Fruitfully^™ year-round, so it is important for us to be able to provide our customers with ways to maintain healthy habits during the tempting holiday season with better-for-you options."

While many pumpkin lovers are rejoicing at fall's arrival, for those who are not yet ready to let go of summer, Jamba Juice has Smoothie Specials in October to help make the seasonal transition a little "smoothie-er." For a limited time, from Oct. 1, 2013 to Oct. 31, 2013, Jamba^® will be offering its Peach Pleasure^® and Razzmatazz^® smoothies in the Small size for only $2.99. No coupon required.
