Instructions

1

Peel orange, remove white pith as much as possible, then section and put in machine.

Tip: White part (albedo) is bitter, so worth 'supreming' or peeling very thoroughly.
2

Add banana, grated ginger, yogurt, and honey.

Tip: Fibers stay in drink (unlike juiced), slowing sugar absorption.
3

Blend with ice until silky.

Tip: Since using whole orange, blend longer so membranes disappear too.
4

Consume immediately while frothy and cold.

Tip: If left standing, fibers separate from juice.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use ground ginger?
Better not. Fresh ginger 'zing' will be missing, ground is more for baking.
