Notes

For a thinner smoothie, add a little more water and blend again.
If the ginger flavor is too strong, start with a smaller piece and adjust to taste.
Optional additions include cucumber, avocado, chia seeds, fresh lemon juice, or a small piece of banana.
Serve the smoothie immediately for the freshest flavor and best texture. If needed, store it in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and shake well before drinking.
