# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The ginger hits your throat like a gentle wake up call without being harsh or overwhelming
  • You actually feel energized instead of sluggish like you just drank something healthy because you had to
02 -
  • Drink this immediately. The nutrients start degrading within minutes and the flavor turns flat and weirdly bitter
  • If it tastes too intense, don't add more sweetener. Try diluting with plain water first. Your palate will adjust
03 -
  • Rotate your leafy greens weekly instead of always using kale. Spinach, Swiss chard, and even romaine work beautifully here
  • If you're new to green juice, start with half an apple and work your way down as your taste buds adjust
