# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in less time than it takes to scroll through your phone, yet feels like actual self-care.
  • The ginger gives this juice a subtle warmth that lingers on your palate in the best way possible.
02 -
  • If you don't strain this, you'll end up with something that tastes good but looks unappetizing and separates within minutes.
  • The ginger will taste mellow if it sits; make this right before you drink it, or the ginger flavor vanishes like it was never there.
03 -
  • If your blender struggles, add the water first, then layer your produce on top; it blends more evenly than tossing everything in at once.
  • A small piece of ginger goes a longer way than you think—taste as you go rather than measuring precisely.
