JAMBA JUICE CRANBERRY CRAZE

The menu description says that this drink includes plain nonfat yogurt (not the frozen kind), but I noticed that the server at the store I visited didn’t put it in. When I asked her if she forgot the ingredient, she told me they don’t include the yogurt anymore, even if the board says otherwise. Okay, right. So, while the menu might insist that this smoothie includes plain yogurt, today we make our clone without it.
