Adventures of Jamba Girl!

Saturday, May 9th was a FUN day!  I was at the 8th Annual Jamba BananaMan Chase at Magic Island.  The 5K run/walk and 500 meter keiki race raised $27,500 for MDA Hawaii and Hawaii Speed & Quickness.  Not only did the event raise money for these two great organizations, but by placing in the top 3 in your age division, participants won JAMBA FOR A YEAR!!!!  Even if you didn’t win a year supply of Jamba coupons, there were Jamba Acai Primo Bowls, free massages, a bounce house and balloon creations for everyone to enjoy at the finish.  The highlight of my morning though was seeing KHON sports anchor John Veneri, KITV morning show anchor Dan Meisenzahl and KGMB’s traffic boy Taizo Braden running around in over-sized banana suits!!!

Try Jamba’s new Organic Steel Cut Oatmeal with Real Fruit Topping!  Choose from your choice of either apple cinnamon, blueberry and blackberry or fresh banana.  It’s the end of instant oatmeal!  Slow cooked for 40 minutes, the oatmeal is blended with soymilk, topped with your choice of fruit and brown sugar crumble.  It’s a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy breakfast.  All flavors are under 290 calories and are avaible until 11 am for $3.25.

A couple weeks ago Jamba Juice introduced hot organic steel cut oatmeal and I’ve been hooked ever since!  This is NOT instant oatmeal, it’s so much better!  The slow cooked oatmeal comes with your choice of three fruit toppings (blueberry & blackberry, apple cinnamon, fresh banana) and brown sugar crumble.  My favorite is the apple cinnamon!  Served until 11 am, a 12 oz. bowl is $3.25.  It’s filling, yummy and so good for you!  All bowls are under 290 calories!  Check it out today!

Turn onto AM1080 (radio) or OC 16 (TV) from about 7:00 am to 7:30 am this morning to hear more about my favorite fruit juice and smoothie company…Jamba Juice!  Tiny Tadani will be talking story with Jamba Juice as they get ready to participate in the upcoming Honolulu Gift Fair this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!  A Jamba booth will be set up at the Blaisdell to feature fruit smoothies as well as JAMBACARDS!!!!  I know I’ll be there!  What about you?

So it’s that time of year again…Christmas shopping & flu season!  I’ve been rushing around to finish all of my Christmas shopping while at the same time making time to attend all of the holiday parties on my list.  It’s been a busy couple of weeks since Thanksgiving ended and with all the hussle and bussle I started getting a little sick.  However, it didn’t last long because I made sure to stop by Jamba Juice and pick up a Coldbuster smoothie.  This smoothie definitely lives up to it’s name!  Packed with an immunity and antioxidant power boost, not to mention tons of orange juice, the Coldbuster kicked my cold instantly.  I recommend that EVERYONE try a Coldbuster smoothie the next time their feeling under the weather.  It’ll be sure to do the trick!

I went into Jamba Koko Marina this morning and learned about the BEST deal ever!  From now until Dec. 31st, purchase $25 in jambacards and receive a FREE smoothie!  You can either have your smoothie on the spot or choose to save it for later with a free smoothie coupon!  I had to purchase a bunch of gifts anyway, so why not make it a healthy one that keeps on giving!?!?!  I purchased a bunch for coworkers, friends and family and they come in a cute little carrier that serves double duty as a card!  It doens’t get much better than this!

I’m in the process of training for the Honolulu Marathon in December and let me tell you, training never tasted so good!  Not only have I been ramping up my mileage, but I have also increased the amount of carbs, protein, calories and other nutrients to prepare for the big day.  To help get me to the finish line, I recently discovered the P.F. Chang’s Training Table Menu!  Designed by world-class athletes, this menu features 12 dishes which were specifically selected for their carbs, proteins and calories.  Some of my favorites include Oolong Sea Bass, Ginger Chicken and Brocolli, and the Vegetarian Ma Po Tofu.  Whether you’re training for an endurance event or just looking for something good, try the P.F. Chang’s Training Table Menu.  There are two locations in Hawaii, one in the Ward area and the other in Waikiki.  Enjoy!
