The Berry Smoothie had a mere 25mg of sodium, but the new Fruit Smoothie has a whopping 200mg of sodium. Umm that’s an astonishing 700% increase in sodium!! What? The? Heck?

So the new Fruit Smoothie is still an amazing deal compared to a Jamba Juice classic smoothie, but it’s just not quite as amazing as the Berry Smoothie was.
