Awesome topical shake! I used real passion-fruit instead of just the juice, more healthy and less sugar.

Mango – Mango, in some corners of the world, is known as the “King of Fruits” and delivers an impressive amount of potent nutrients and healthy plant compounds. They are extremely high in vitamin C and provide significant amounts of copper, folate, and vitamin B6. Mangoes are also known to boost your immune system, improve digestive health with their amylases enzymes, help prevent diabetes, and have even been shown to reduce the risk of certain cancers.

Passion Fruit Juice – Passion fruit is a purple tropical fruit offering a wide-range of health benefits. It is most commonly known for its rich antioxidant profile and is a strong source of vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium. Passion fruit is also extremely low on the glycemic index and can help improve insulin sensitivity, placing it among the fruit-favorites of the American Diabetes Association.

Pineapple Sherbet – Pineapples are popular tangy tropical fruit that, surprising to most, originated in South America, not Hawaii. They are absolutely loaded with antioxidants and nutrients, including a ridiculously high amount of vitamin C (1 serving = 131% of the recommended daily intake), manganese, vitamin B6, and thiamin. Pineapples also contain a significant amount of the digestive enzymes bromelain that can help fight pancreatic cancer.
Equipment Needed
A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.
If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.
For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.
How To Make The Jamba Juice Mango-A-Go-Go Smoothie
The Jamba Juice Mango-A-Go-Go smoothie is very easy to make:
- Step 1: Place mangos, passion fruit-mango juice, pineapple sherbet, and crushed ice into a blender and secure the lid.
- Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
- Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.
Recipe Tips And Substitutions
If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.
Fresh passion fruit can be substituted for the passion fruit-mango juice and will make this delicious drink slightly less sweet.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions
What are amylases enzymes in mangos?
Amylase enzymes, which are found in mangos and other fruits, play a crucial role in breaking down carbohydrates, particularly starches, into simpler sugars like glucose and maltose that can be easily absorbed by the body. Therefore, amylases contribute to the digestibility and sweetness of mangos as the fruit ripens and the starches convert to sugars.
Is sherbet healthy?
Sherbet, while lower in fat than ice cream, often contains high amounts of sugar, which can contribute to health issues like obesity and diabetes when consumed in excess. However, it can provide some nutritional benefits if it includes real fruit, as this contributes vitamins, minerals, and fiber, but overall, it should be considered a treat and eaten in moderation.
