01 -

The ginger gives you a little morning zing without being harsh or overwhelming
Its the kind of green smoothie that actually tastes like something you'd choose to drink

02 -

Green smoothies oxidize and lose their vibrancy pretty quickly, so drink them right after blending
Start with less liquid than you think you need because its easier to thin it out than to fix something too watery

03 -

Use the weakest greens first and save your best produce for salads where texture matters more
If the ginger taste is too intense, start with half a tablespoon and work your way up
