Jamba Juice

Celebrate juice! At least that's what the name means -- and judging by the lines of people at this juice bar, the owners do have something to celebrate. Inside, friendly juice masters feverishly blend away as generation X, Y and their yuppie predecessors line up for shots of wheat grass and smoothies made with fresh fruits and the ever-popular add-in nutrients.

The consensus is that the strawberry-banana flavor is the best blend, and energy and protein boost mixes win out for the most nutritious favorites. The brightly lit, humming interior reflects the feeling you get as soon as you sip one of the 24 oz. smoothies.

And they've added more to the menu. Try a Jamba Souprimo, soups that come in four savory flavors, or one of four toasty Jambolas, healthy alternatives to bagels or muffins. Jamba Smoothies and soups are designed to meet FDA standards for being Heart Healthy. Plus, they fit the widely recommended "5-a-day" program for fruits and vegetables.

No time for breakfast or a sit-down lunch? Experience the Jamba Powerboost -- orange juice, strawberries, banana, non-fat sorbet and ice with some of each of the five "boost" nutrients mixed in. -- Patti Larson
