Question:
I haven't had surgey yet still waiting but was wondering about Jamba Juice

we recently got a Jamba Juice in town YUM YUM and I noticed you can get them with protein added would that be a good thing to have ater surgery they average 350 calories for small juice and 10 grams protien    — kathy B. (posted on September 30, 2002)

Yeah, Jamba Juice drinks are full of fruit, and contain a lot of natural sugars (fructose). Many people dump from all sugars, even the natural ones like fructose and lactose. I, for one, wouldn't even try to drink more than a little bit of a Jamba Juice drink, so be careful.

Hi , I am 19 months post op and I occassionally drink a small Jamba Juice. I didnt try one until I was almost 12 months out though, because they are very high in sugar. I do ok with them as long as I drink them slowly..and they are tasty :). Good luck, Eva

I used to work there...all the juices are LOADED with sugar, including the sorbet and ice cream that are put in there. They are good, but you're better off asking for a small carrot orange juice. It's sweet, yummy, and freshly squeezed from the fruit/veggie so you can see that there are no additives...sugar or otherwise. :)

I do a lot of protein supps, but my criteria are pretty strict. It must deliver 30g protein, under 200 cal, less than 6 g sugar in a drink that can be easily mixed with a small amount of water (4-6 oz). My personal fave is 32g protein, 160 cal, 0g sugar.
