A little raspberry ginger smoothie to start the day....

dash of cinnamon, nutmeg and maca powder
How do you make your ginger juice? How long is it good for and how do you store it?
ReplyDeleteHi Nadine,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the question!
I use my Breville juicer to juice multiple ginger roots at a time, 5-10 roots. Once the ginger is juiced I pour it into ice cube trays and freeze it. You should get 12-24 cubes. I cube of ginger adds a nice bite to your morning smoothie:) I would keep the ginger for up to 3 months in the freezer.
