I like the idea of smoothies but I hate (haaate) the following ingredients:
Oranges & other citrus (instant and severe migraines followed by hives)
Bananas (disgusting)
Mangoes (vile)
Soy (horrific)
Peanut Butter (the most repulsive substance known to man)
It’s impossible to find a smoothie with none of these ingredients. In fact, I just searched the entire Jamba Juice menu and there was only one smoothie that was close: “Pomegranate Heart Defender.” It has “soy” in the boost, but I could just tell them not to put that in, I suppose. Sadly, I’m neither here nor there on pomegranates. Bleh. I give up. Bring me more meat.

It’s because Jamba Juice’s board of directors is stalked with chimps.
Jeebus, and I thought *I* was picky.
But I agree about peanut butter, a fact for which I have been ostracized by many a so-called “friend.”
Also, while living in the UK, my friends sent reputedly sent me a care package with peanut butter in it (it’s apparently hard to get good peanut butter in Britain). Mysteriously, the package never arrived… Just as well, from my perspective. It’d be like getting a care package full of brussel sprouts or something.
I wish I knew the difference between “stalked” and “stocked.”
What’s wrong with brussels sprouts?

Aside from being the raw embodiment of evil where other evil fears to tread? Absolutely nothing.
I think bananas are used in every smoothie for the texture. Can you specifically ask for no banana?
Bananas are used because they are a cheap and natural thickening agent, and their taste is usually overpowered by the other ingredients. You can probably request no bananas, but expect it to be less smoothie-y, and more watery-y
Gotta add honey to that list. Nasty aftertaste, and I defy ANYONE to tell me which end of the bee that shit comes outta.
UPDATE! A beekeeper told me that honey is essentially bee vomit. Yum!
