Just tried an Apple n Greens smoothie, substituting fresh orange juice for apple juice in the recipe. Told the cashier I was "allergic to gluten" and she recommended this smoothie. There is a warning on the menu about allergies and all equipment is shared with wheat, dairy, etc. However, the blender pitchers are clean for each smoothie, so your risk is a clean (or not) blender pitcher if you're drinking all blended fruits and veggies. Finding the info on gluten free or not is not readily or clearly available, but it is there. It's on theirs paper menu, and online at the website. Do not recommend adding any powders or seeds, as I believe there is a higher risk for cross contamination and/or gluten in those ingredients. For celiac people like me, there is risk, as in all restaurants.

Standard Jamba juice - nothing on the menu is labeled for GF. They do have fruit, and some packaged snacks that are certified GF.

They do have an "allergy blender" in the back that they can use. I don't know how much this reduces cross-contamination but seems like it's better than nothing?

There are minimal GF options are JFK T5 so hopefully this helps someone.
