Cooking Techniques
This recipe is all about blending, but here are a few technique tips:
- Make sure your blender is powerful enough to handle leafy greens and tough ingredients like ginger and turmeric.
- If you’re using fresh turmeric root, be careful; its bright color can stain your blender! A quick rinse will usually do the trick.
- Experiment with the ratio of coconut water to filtered water based on your taste preference for a creamier or lighter juice.
