Fun: Making Jamba Juice’s Orange Dream Machine with bamix

Orange Dream Machine is my favorite drink at Jamba Juice. Unfortunately, there are no Jamba Juices in Japan, so I wondered if I could make the drink myself.   After searching around, I found recipes at Yahoo Answers and another one here. Here’s the recipe from Yahoo Answers:

For 24oz (Original size)

  • 5oz (148 ml) of Orange Juice
  • 5oz (148 ml) of Soy milk
  • 2 scoops of orange sherbet
  • 2 scoops of frozen yogurt
  • 1 scoop of crushed Ice
Searching for the ingredients in Japan
OJ and soy milk was easy to find. Orange sherbet and frozen yogurt wasn’t. After looking in three different super markets, I found something close to the orange sherbet, unfortunately I couldn’t find any frozen yogurt, nor could I find any low fat vanilla ice cream. So I had to substitute frozen yogurt with just plain vanilla ice cream. (I know, the whole healthy aspect is ruined…)

Anyway, here are snapshots of the ingredients.





Now let’s blend it with our magical tool – bamix!
To blend the drink, I used the shiny white kitchen gadget – bamix! The bamix allows me to blend a drink in the cup itself. I don’t think the results are smooth as a real blender, but I’m too lazy to dig out the blender. Plus, the cleanup is much easier =)



You can read all about bamix goodess at their website.



Let’s blend away!
And here is what I got! It’s not as creamy, but it sure does taste similar!
