Gotta guava this holiday season

To herald the holiday season, Jamba Hawaii launched its limited-time Gotta Guava smoothie and Loaded Hawaiian açaí bowl. These two items are only available at Hawaii stores and will be featured through Dec. 31.

Guava is often prevalent in cakes, dessert bars, jams, glazes and more, but you can now enjoy it in smoothie form. Besides being delicious, guava is a highly nutritious fruit, offering an abundance of antioxidants, fiber and vitamin C, making it an ideal choice for customers looking for an immunity boost.

In addition to these holiday specials, Jamba Hawaii is offering a holiday gift card promotion. Buy one $25 gift card and earn a $5 reward card. This offer is available now through Dec. 31. For more information, visit jambahawaii.com.
