Notes
Ginger: do 2 tsp of fresh ginger if you like a strong ginger taste; 1 tsp for mild ginger and 1 1/2 tsp for a happy medium. When using fresh ginger, be sure to peel off the outer skin. Use the edge of a spoon (like you would a peeler) to more easily peel the ginger. For easier blending, add the liquid (almond milk, or water) to the blender first. Then continue with the remaining ingredients. Storing: Store any leftovers in a tight sealed container, such as a glass jar with a lid. Will keep in the fridge for about 2 days. Freshly juiced and blended vegetables are best enjoyed soon after they are made. Add the smoothie and ice to a blender to give it the smoothie texture again.
