Collagen, a protein with many benefits, is most commonly promoted for its ability to produce glowing skin and healthy joints. Widely known as a cosmetic supplement in the beauty industry, collagen use is now trending as a consumable supplement.

Watermelon, the primary ingredient in both summer smoothies, is a rich source of the antioxidant lycopene, which helps prevent cell damage and aids in ridding the body of excess water. The Poolside Fit™ smoothie is blended with watermelon and cucumber, for added hydration.

The two new smoothies, blended with whole, high-quality fruits and vegetables include:

• Poolside Fit™ with Collagen Boost – watermelon juice blend, cucumber, lemon, strawberry, peach, collagen
• Watermelon Breeze™ – watermelon juice blend, strawberry, raspberry sherbet, pineapple

“At Jamba, we’re focused on providing our guests with high quality solutions to feel and look their best. Our new Poolside Fit™ and Watermelon Breeze™ smoothies offer a balance of intense flavor, whole-food nutrition, and fun. I’m also excited to introduce a collagen boost to our menu – it’s a simple way to add even more benefit to your favorite smoothie,” said Laurie Winward, VP of Culinary Innovation at Jamba Juice.
