# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes and tastes like fresh air in a glass, not like punishment.
  • The ginger wakes you up from the inside without any jittery caffeine crash.
  • You can tweak the sweetness or thickness on the fly and it never fails.
02 -
  • If your ginger is old and fibrous, you'll end up with stringy bits no matter how long you blend, so use fresh knobs that snap cleanly when you break them.
  • Don't skip the lemon juice, it cuts through the earthiness of the spinach and makes the whole thing taste brighter and more alive.
03 -
  • Use a high-speed blender if you have one, it makes the spinach disappear completely and the texture silky instead of gritty.
  • Add the ice last so it doesn't freeze the blade and slow everything down, your blender will thank you.
  • Taste before you pour, because every apple and banana is different and you might need a tiny adjustment to make it perfect.
