# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like vacation in a glass, not like drinking medicine.
  • Five minutes from start to sip, no excuses needed.
  • Your body genuinely feels better after drinking it, not just fuller.
02 -
  • Turmeric needs a pinch of black pepper to activate its anti-inflammatory compounds, though this recipe works without it—just know you're missing that extra benefit if you skip it.
  • A high-speed blender is not optional here; regular blenders leave a grainy texture that completely changes the experience and makes it feel less luxurious.
03 -
  • Buy mango when it's on sale and freeze it immediately in chunks; your smoothies become instantly better and cheaper for months.
  • Fresh ginger root stays good in the freezer for weeks, and you can grate it straight from frozen without thawing.
