Caribbean Passion Smoothie is a favorite—this Jamba Juice copycat is made with passion fruit juice, a blend of frozen fruit, ice, and orange sherbet.

Caribbean Passion Smoothie

This tropical smoothie combines so many good fruit flavors — passionfruit, mango, peaches, strawberries, and orange. It’s intensely fruity, very sweet, and ultra thick. Just like you expect from Jamba Juice®, you can expect from this recipe!

We love being able to re-create our favorite smoothies from the comfort of home and this Caribbean Passion Smoothie is typically the most frequently made — it’s my boys’ favorite!

Caribbean Passion Smoothie Ingredients

• Passion fruit juice. The juice I use is pictured above. If you can’t find look for a juice with passion fruit and mango for the best tropical flavor.
• Orange sherbet. For a dairy-free version, try orange or mango sorbet. Vanilla frozen yogurt is an option but less tropical.
• Frozen strawberries, frozen mango, and frozen peaches. Use frozen fruit for a thick, cold smoothie. 
• Ice. Ice helps thicken and chill the smoothie. Pebble ice works especially well for blending.

Caribbean Passion Smoothie Tips

• When measuring the frozen fruit, pack it into a measuring cup to get an accurate measurement. 
• It’s helpful to add liquids into the blender first with frozen fruit and ice on top. This can help avoid blender cavitation. 
• To get a thick smoothie consistency, you’ll want to use a high-powered blender. Be patient, since the majority of the ingredients are frozen. Stir in between blending bursts if needed.
• While it might seem silly to actually measure out the ingredients for this smoothie (instead of just eye-balling and throwing everything in), I do recommend measuring ingredients the first few times you make this Caribbean Passion Smoothie. Throwing random ingredients in a blender can often end up giving you way too much smoothie or the beverage can end up tasting off.

Storage/Leftovers

I recommend drinking this Caribbean Passion Smoothie all in one sitting, preferably right after making it. This smoothie doesn’t sit or store well as the ingredients quickly begin to separate and the thick smoothie consistency is lost.

If you’re uncertain it will all get finished in one sitting, I recommend halving the recipe — this drink is very forgiving as quantities are cut down.
