01 -

The ginger gives it a gentle zing that wakes up your palate without being overpowering
It uses frozen pineapple so you can skip the ice and keep flavors concentrated
The whole thing comes together in under five minutes including cleanup

02 -

Packing the spinach down tightly rather than loosely measuring gives you more nutrients per serving
Adding frozen fruit instead of ice prevents your smoothie from becoming watery as it sits
The ginger flavor intensifies over time, so drink this within an hour of making it

03 -

Peel your ginger with a spoon instead of a peeler to avoid wasting any of the flavorful flesh
Freeze overly ripe bananas in chunks so you always have smoothie ingredients ready
