After all, I have yet to bust a cold with Jamba&#8217;s Coldbuster, achieve nirvana by drinking their Strawberry Nirvana, or get horny while sucking down a Caribbean Passion smoothie, even when I&#8217;m also sucking on a Peach Pleasure at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, sucking on two Jamba Juice smoothies at the same time is called a m\u00c3\u00a9jamba trois.<\/p>\n<p>If there ever was a time to test the Apple Cinnamon Cheer&#8217;s ability to turn my frown upside down, it would be now, because it&#8217;s raining outside, I just found out my favorite T-shirt has a hole in it, NBC&#8217;s <i>Community<\/i> isn&#8217;t on the network&#8217;s midseason schedule, and I just found out Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are divorcing, which means, if they can&#8217;t make it, it doesn&#8217;t give me hope for me and Cloris Leachman.<\/p>\n<p>While I have my doubts that Jamba Juice could blend a smoothie that brings me cheer, there&#8217;s also a part of me that thinks it might be possible because if there are two things that can bring a smile to my face it&#8217;s the combination of apples and cinnamon. If warm apple pie \u00c3\u00a0 la mode doesn&#8217;t bring a smile to your face, you either have no heart, are allergic to cinnamon, or you&#8217;re Snow White and you&#8217;ve never gotten over your fear apples.<\/p>\n<p>The Jamba Juice Apple Cinnamon Cheer smoothie contains apple-strawberry juice, soy milk, cinnamon, an apple cinnamon base, frozen yogurt, bananas, peaches, and ice. It&#8217;s not surprising to see Jamba Juice use cinnamon in their latest smoothie since cinnamon is a common flavor during the fall season. It&#8217;s just as common during these fall months as two other ingredients found in the smoothie &#8212; tropical bananas and summer peaches.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/6375717517\/\" title=\"Jamba Juice Apple Cinnamon Cheer Closeup by theimpulsivebuy, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm7.staticflickr.com\/6240\/6375717517_8f37a0e170.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Jamba Juice Apple Cinnamon Cheer Closeup\"\/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The smoothie looks like applesauce, or if you hang out in the aisles filled with Gerber bottles, it may also look like baby food. However, I assure you it tastes better than applesauce and much better than baby food. Jamba Juice&#8217;s Apple Cinnamon Cheer tastes as if someone left an apple pie on a windowsill for too long on a frigid day, a passerby steals the pie, gets rid of the crust, dumps the innards of the pie into a blender, blends it, then dumps the contents into a cup, and sucks it through straw. Or if you prefer the shorter version, it tastes like the filling of an apple pie, which is the best part of the dessert. <\/p>\n<p>The Jamba Juice Apple Cinnamon Cheer smoothie is really good and I have to say that its cinnamon flavor did cheer me up. But, that happiness quickly went away after I sucked out the last of the smoothie. So like any pharmaceutical upper, I guess I have to keep sucking on an Apple Cinnamon Cheer to maintain some level of cheeriness. But, I don&#8217;t mind because I could see myself getting brain freezes regularly from it, whether I drink it by itself or joining Caribbean Passion, Peach Pleasure, and me for a m\u00c3\u00a9jamba quatre.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 Power Size\/30 ounces &#8211; 630 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 150 milligrams of sodium, 145 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of fiber, 122 grams of sugar, 9 grams of protein, 8% vitamin A, 15% calcium, 50% vitamin C, and 15% iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Jamba Juice Apple Cinnamon Cheer<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $5.95<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> Power (30 ounces)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Jamba Juice<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Tastes like apple pie filling.
