The other day as I was reading my email, I read about a woman whose daughter had been glutened by Jamba (formerly Jamba Juice), or more specifically, the brown sugar topping that was put on top of her smoothie. It is important to note that when I write these posts, I do so to inform the community so that we can all learn & be reminded to check the food and drinks we consume each and every time we order and consume them. If one person has made a mistake, it is likely that others have or might be on their next outing.
While the majority of items (smoothies) that Jamba Juice serves are gluten-free, there are a few items to be aware of. Obviously, the baked goods, sandwiches, wraps & oatmeal are not gluten-free, but neither is the brown sugar topping. The Jamba Juice website clearly details which items are free of gluten and then shows which items contain gluten in the ingredient description of each item.

This is a lot of different options that can be found at Jamba across their many locations! As with any other dining experience, ensure that the person making your smoothie is aware of your need to eat gluten-free. Ask them to use a clean blender so as to not risk any cross-contamination. Jamba also offers non-dairy and vegan options in addition to gluten-free options.
As always, when dining out gluten-free, do your due diligence and make sure the staff understands your needs. There are very few restaurants that are 100% gluten-free, so cross-contamination is always a risk. If you don’t feel comfortable with what you are hearing from the staff, perhaps it is best to dine elsewhere.
