‘Today Jamba Juice launches a complete range of delicious simple and on-the-go food items’.

‘Jamba Juice announced their most significant addition to its menu offerings since it’s opening in 1990, with a rollout spread of California flat breads, wraps and cold tea infusions. Satisfying high customer demand for great tasting, on-the-go food for a healthy lifestyle, Jamba Juice’s tasty new  items are made with high quality, good-for-you ingredients and will be available in 222 California locations for the time being. Following the successful launch of Jamba’s oatmeal topped with organic oats and berries this past winter, they hope to transform the companies entire concept to offer simple and healthy options to their customers other than just their great smoothies!’

One of the many perks to working for foodBEAST is sometimes we are offered amazing opportunities like the one that Jamba gave me this last Friday. Upon my flight arrival in San Fransisco, myself and about 12 other website editors were able to tour the Jamba headquarters, see the employee smoothie kitchen, and then actually test all of their new food items in their magnificent test kitchen. Check after the jump for my entire experience and why Jamba Juice is making competitors scared.

So what’s the hold up, drink on!

I was off reading some heavy content on chow.com when I came upon an article that international food magazine Gourmet.com did about the “20 Tools and Technologies That Have Changed the Way We Cook”. I found the article so enlightening and informational that I knew I had to post the entire thing here on our website.

There are a few different video tutorials like this one floating around the web, and after watching them all, this is definitely the best. As a website with a reputation (haha), we can’t condone this behavior, but we can definitely report on it! Apparently this is the hottest new craze in the Tween sector, and all the cool kids are doing it. Crush up your Smarties candies and inhale, and blow it out…it looks like cigerette smoke! The kid above handles this with class…but there are a few other videos that I stumbled upon, and the only reason I want to post links to them now is in the hopes that YouTube sees them, and resultingly, re-evaluates their Terms of Service by allowing kids under the age of 9 to have YouTube accounts and freedom of speech.

So, I have been doing 7am workouts, and trust me it’s hard. I usually go to sleep at 4-5am. and get up around 1-2pm. Flipping my sleepy habits definitely made me hungry, and after reading as many food blogs as I do on the daily, making a breakfast scramble was a must. I put together all the necessary ingredients (or atleast what was in my fridge) and made what I will call the TC90 Breakfast Scramble. Check out how to make this, and all the pictures after the jump!
