# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The ginger and lemon cut through any potential veggie taste, making it genuinely enjoyable
  • It takes literally five minutes but keeps you full and energized for hours
02 -
  • If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let it thaw for 5 minutes or add a splash more liquid
  • Drink this immediately because the chia seeds will thicken it up considerably if it sits too long
03 -
  • Pour a little coconut water into the blender first to help the spinach leaves move around freely
  • If the ginger flavor is too intense, start with half the amount and work your way up
