I first encountered Jamba Juice in Tina Fey's movie "Baby Mama", where she met a guy who owns this fruit smoothie bar near her place and when she tasted it, she mentioned that "it tastes like Jamba Juice" and when people started to taste that fruit smoothie bar's flavor everyone commented that it tastes like Jamba Juice, its a funny moment for that movie and after that fast forward to 4 months, I heard that Jamba Juice will launch here in Manila, Philippines and it will be the 1st branch here in South East Asia. The Max group did a great job in bringing Jamba Juice here in our land (they also brought Krispy Kreme!), and after I tasted it for the 1st time last night, I just wow myself and finally tried this drink that people are talking about.
And this date 11-11-11, Jamba Juice finally rises here in Manila and now blending in the new lifestyle area of Bonifacio High Street -South area, that's a new high street building after ROX. Yeah! BHS is now expanding and it will launch tonight at 6pm together with Jamba Juice!
Jamba Juice is very popular to some people, especially to those who went to the states and tried it. Its a healthy fruit smoothie drink, all fruit and no added flavors, imagine mixing two fruits or even 5 fruits to have one yummy drink. The best part here is that there's no ice or even watery substance to your drink, so it will stay healthy and heavy in your tummy. According to Sharon Fuentebella, Managing Director of Jamba Juice Philippines, that they chose Bonifacio High Street Central because that the place is a known for being the go-to destination for a rising number of urbanites who live dynamic lifestyles—the same market Jamba Juice has successfully captured in California.
I tasted my first Jamba Juice and I automatically fell in love to Banana Berry drink, I think that will be my drink forever, because it captured my tastes and having a not too sweety with smoothy taste. I went around the Jamba Juice Philippines branch in BHS and saw that they have Pretzels that is priced at P80, I'm going to visit the store always to check out the activiy and also pricing of some of the drinks.
Last night was the big launching and I haven't got a nice photo to show because it was a riot hahaha, people stormed in and the store was filled with Jamba Juice fans!
