Notes: When I make a smoothie I don’t drink a pint of it. Six ounces – a juice glass – does it for me.

Make ginger juice by processing fresh ginger root in juicer. Or, freeze whole, then when ready to use thaw, slice a slit in the side of it and squeeze out the juice.

Always use very fresh ginger for both processes – otherwise you won’t get any juice.
