# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You'll feel genuinely refreshed within minutes, not jittery like you've had three espressos.
  • It takes less time to make than waiting in line at a juice bar, and costs a fraction of the price.
  • The ginger and lemon combination hits differently on mornings when your digestion feels sluggish.
  • You can taste every ingredient—there's no mystery syrup or artificial sweetness hiding anything.
02 -
  • If your ginger isn't cut small enough, it won't fully blend and you'll end up with spicy stringy bits that catch in your teeth—learn this lesson from experience and slice thinner than you think necessary.
  • The separation is totally normal and not a sign something went wrong; a quick stir before serving brings everything back together.
03 -
  • Add your ingredients in this exact order into the blender: solids first, then liquids, then ice—this prevents the blades from just spinning frozen cubes around without actually blending anything.
  • If your blender sounds strained or isn't pulling things down smoothly, pause and use a wooden spoon to push ingredients down gently instead of adding more water, which will dilute your juice.
