Great News! Great FREE Opportunity! Added Energy for You!

ILovePortlandMaine.com recently had the pleasure and opportunity to sample the NEW All-Natural Jamba Energy Drink launched exclusively in the Northeast by Nestle.  We enjoyed the smooth delicious taste delivered among their three fruit flavors; Strawberry Banana, Blueberry Pomegranate and Crisp Apple, with Blueberry Pomegranate leading the way on the great taste scale.

We understand that Jamba Energy Drinks are lightly carbonated, contain all natural ingredients with no artificial flavors or colors, and each 8.4 ounce can contains 70% real fruit juice and 80 mg of natural caffeine. Sounds good on our end and provided a boost of energy though we understand some may be more concerned about the nutrition facts and we encourage you to do your own research (we noticed each can contained 90 calories). Jamba Energy can be found in select local grocery, drug and convenient stores across the Northeast and typically retail around $1.99 per can.

Thanks to ILovePortlandMaine.com sampling the products, the folks at Nestle have kindly agreed to allow us to give away 25 free product coupons (each approximately $1.99 value) to our readers to promote the Northeast launch of Jamba All Natural Energy Drinks.

Hey Portland, Maine….Want a FREE energy drink? Want more ENERGY? It’s real simple, really! Tell us what you would do here in Greater Portland if you had more energy… It’s that easy!

To allow Nestle and their affiliates to send you a FREE sample, we will need you to send us an email to ILovePortlandMaine2@gmail.com including your answer along with your name and address. (We respect your privacy and will not share or sell your information to any other parties outside of this promotional offer).
