The Jamba Spa Weekend Whirl'd Smoothie has been announced by the brand as a new menu item created through a partnership with the upcoming movie Spa Weekend to help get fans ready for the comedic action.
The smoothie itself features a blend of mango, peach, pineapple and ginger, and will come alongside a co-branded orange koozie emblazoned with the phrase You Deserve This, but only while supplies last. The smoothie is launching alongside a campaign that includes a sweepstakes to give fans the chance to win a grand prize including a spa weekend for two to Costa Rica. The sweepstakes will also see five runners-up receiving Jamba Spa Kits to help them pamper themselves from home.
