Pro tips

  • Increase the health benefits of your smoothie by adding different adaptogens like maca. Check out the boosters and adaptogens section of the Juicing Companion to learn more.

  • Peeling the carrots and ginger is not 100% necessary, but it does help give the flavor a lighter, refreshing taste.
