• We can drink these juices daily, whenever we want. They are highly recommended to rehydrate after a workout.
  
• If we do not have a blender, we can opt for the smoothies, grinding the vegetables with water, and then passing them, if we wish, through a Chinese strainer, to remove the pulp.
• We can use the leftover pulp to make delicious and healthy desserts such as compotes, jams, etc.

The ginger should be fresh, and a small piece will suffice, but if we don’t have it, we can use a little powdered ginger. If we want to serve it as an aperitif, we can decorate it with pieces of candied ginger
