Frequently Asked Questions

→ Do I need a special juicer?
A cold-pressed one works best, but you can totally use any type. They just keep more juice and nutrients compared to others.
→ Can I make it without using a juicer?
Sure! A strong blender works too if you strain it with a nut milk bag. But the texture will be a bit different.
→ How long will it stay good?
Keep it in the fridge (airtight container) for up to 2 days. Just give it a good shake since it naturally separates.
→ How do I make it less sweet?
Reduce the pineapple and toss in more spinach or celery—it’s super adjustable however you like it.
→ Do I need to peel the ginger?
It’s completely up to you. Clean, fresh ginger doesn’t need peeling unless you want to.
