To highlight juice and fitness, Jamba Juice and ClassPass suggest the following pairings:
Veggie Vitality & Boxing: Veggie Vitality packs contain 25 percent of the daily recommend value of manganese. It also contains a healthy dose of vitamin A, to keep vision sharp, and its chia seeds are a fiber rich source of omega-3s which assist in fighting inflammation and speeding recovery post boxing workout, according to the companies.
Cucumber Orange Cooler & Barre: Toning and elongating the body at a barre class can be followed up with a Cucumber Orange Cooler. It supports hydration with ingredients like orange, cucumber, apple, and lemon and full of nutrients and enzymes that help strengthen the body's detox system, the companies note.
Orange Supreme & Cycling: Orange Supreme is a delicious recovery beverage for a calorie torching endurance exercise like cycling, as it contains more than the daily requirement for vitamin A and C. Vitamin C also helps the body make collagen, which is a protein needed for healthy cartilage, tendons and ligaments, the companies explain.
On July 15, with the support of Jamba Juice Healthy Living Council Member and tennis champion Venus Williams, Jamba Juice and Williams will be in New York City to celebrate the new launches and surprise various ClassPass-affiliated studios across the city with Jamba's refreshing juices post-workout.
