Spring sipping
Although lychee season doesn’t start till May, Jamba Hawaii announced it has brought back its limited-time Lychee Dream, available only in Hawaii. Customers will taste the nostalgia of this refreshing beverage as it features floral notes of lychee, along with white pear and peach juice blend, raspberry sherbet, soy milk and nonfat frozen yogurt. For an extra pop of fun and flavor, patrons also have the option of adding tapioca boba.
Not only is this drink delicious, but it’s healthy too. Lychee can build one’s immune system, as it is full of antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin B complex. It may also boost metabolism and digestion with lychee being so high in fiber.
Pick up the Lychee Dream smoothie in Hawaii stores while supplies last. Visit jambahawaii.com for more info.
