Gather all your ingredients and ensure your strawberries and pineapple are fully frozen for the best texture. If using fresh fruit, add an additional 1/2 cup of ice to achieve that signature thick, frosty consistency that Jamba Juice is known for.
Add the frozen strawberries to your high-speed blender first, placing them at the bottom where the blades will catch them most effectively. The strawberries should be solid and icy to the touch, which will create that smooth, creamy base.
Layer in the frozen pineapple chunks on top of the strawberries, distributing them evenly. The pineapple adds a tropical sweetness and helps balance the tartness of the strawberries with its natural sugars.
Pour in the coconut milk and orange juice, making sure the liquids reach about halfway up the frozen fruit. These liquids will help the blender blades move and create a vortex that pulls the frozen fruit down for even blending.
Add the vanilla Greek yogurt and honey to the blender, which will provide creaminess and natural sweetness. The yogurt also adds protein and creates that signature smooth, thick texture that makes this smoothie so satisfying.
If you want an extra thick consistency like the original Jamba Juice version, add the ice cubes on top. Secure the blender lid tightly and ensure it's locked in place before blending.
Start blending on low speed for 10-15 seconds to break up the frozen fruit, then gradually increase to high speed. Blend for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no visible chunks, and the color is a vibrant, uniform pink.
Stop the blender and check the consistency by looking at the texture against the sides of the blender jar. If it's too thick to blend smoothly, add 2 tablespoons of additional orange juice or coconut milk and blend for another 15 seconds. Pour immediately into a tall glass and enjoy with a wide straw for the authentic Jamba Juice experience.
