Smoothie vs Juice: If you prefer a smoother, juice-like consistency, simply strain it after blending – you'll lose some fiber but get a concentrated, easy-to-digest elixir.

Storage:

This smoothie/juice is best consumed fresh when all the nutrients are at their peak. | Drink immediately for maximum vitamin C and nutrient content.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking as separation is natural. The color will darken slightly due to oxidation. Freeze: pour into ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or blend the frozen cubes with a bit of liquid for a slushie.

Adaptations:

• Try almonds, cashews, or pecans instead of walnuts, or use nut butter.

• Add leafy greens like spinach or kale for extra nutrients (color will change to brown/muddy ;).

• Make it tropical by adding pineapple, papaya or mango.

• Increase the ginger and turmeric for a more intense 'health shot' effect.

• Add cayenne pepper for a metabolism boost.
