Frequently asked questions
Can I make this green smoothie ahead?
It tastes best fresh, but you can keep it in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours. Give it a quick shake before drinking, and a squeeze of lemon helps keep the colour bright.
How spicy does the ginger make the smoothie?
That is up to you. A small piece of ginger keeps it mild, while more ginger makes it punchier. Start small and add gradually to taste.
Is a green smoothie filling?
As a light breakfast or snack it can satisfy you for a while. For something more filling, blend in a little protein powder, yogurt or oats.
