Jamba Juice’s Orange Dream Machine without Jamba Juice!
Today I did something very exciting - I made my own Orange Dream Machine which is this orange drink from Jamba Juice! I didn’t think it would actually work but it tastes basically 99% like the real drink that I ordered at Jamba Juice before (thanks for Frankie who helped me find a recipe for it). Well a part of me was skeptical that it would work but it does! After getting all the ingredients which took a few days I was surprised that I actually followed through with it and I made 2 big cups of it today and it was really good. I’ll probably make some more tomorrow and take a picture of it and put it here just to document the first thing I’ve ever made in the kitchen thats more complicated than scrambled eggs!
first I had to buy some orange juice so i did:
then i had to buy some orange sherbet, which i made my sister pick up for me at walmart:
then soy milk:
then vanilla frozen yogurt. which …i didn’t even know existed. i didn’t see it at walmart, i went to HEB and bought some. Its weird though, i think frozen yogurt is like ice cream for people on diets or something because ALL frozen yogurts that were being sold were either low fat or non fat and i was looking for REGULAR frozen yogurt (if that even exists). anyways I had to get some of this stuff in the end since it was the only vanilla kind:
okay so after i got all that, i used this: (yes, its that magic bullet thing they used to sell on tv commercials)
so using the biggest cup they had (which, this recipe fills up the cup to the VERY top exactly), i added:
- 2 scoops of vanilla frozen yogurt!
- 2 scoops of orange sherbet =)
- 1/2 cup of orange juice
- 1/2 cup of soy milk
- a little bit of crushed ice
and then I used the little blender for a while (a few times, probably not even a minute) and it was like magic - I had an orange dream machine without going to jamba juice! =) anyways hopefully I will make some and post it tomorrow.

Heyy.. I searched this Jamba Juice Orange Dream Machine Recipe very long but do you know how I make it with green tea boost?? greez
I basically went out and bought everything that you used in yours….and sweet mother of god is tastes AWESOME! Thanks for posting it
Tried this out and it tastes almost identical! I had to half the recipe, and I would definitely say that the soymilk makes all the difference in the taste…and you might want to add a little more orange juice/orange sherbet if it doesn’t seem like enough! thanks bunches for this!
I haven’t tried it but I hope it works!
tried it out . . . I think I may did something wrong . . but i followed the guide you gave us . Mine came out more like a liquid rather than a smoothie . Added ice to balance it and then it lost some flavor . I had to balance things out . Got a Orange Julius type flavor instead of Orange Dream Machine .
the only reason i can think of is not enough ice, or the ice cream wasnt cold enough. i’ve never had an issue with the thickness of the product in the end. the original recipe found online said 1/2 cup ice though and i normally only add a little sprinkle of crushed ice.
