I keep fresh ginger root (in a sandwich-size bag) in the freezer. When called for in a recipe, a grate the ginger, and back in the freezer it goes. I do not break off sections...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Thanks for the tip :D x
DeleteMmm, what a great smoothie flavor! Love the addition of ginger, that's a great one. I don't usually make smoothies (more of a cereal kind of person, haha) but I would slurp down this one :)
ReplyDeleteEven have it alongside your lunch or dinner would be so refreshing :D Thanks for your kind words as always June :D x
DeleteSuperfresh!! Jeg er glad i ingefær i juice men husker ikke om jeg har brukt det i smoothie. Helt sikkert godt.
ReplyDeletehåper du har hatt en deilig søndag. Jeg skal fortelle om søndagen min når jeg får klarsignal om at jeg får lov. Det har vært en lang dag! :)
Klem
Tusen takk Ragnhild! Denne var superlett og lage, også skikkelig frisk ja!
DeleteSpenningen er til og ta og føle på! :D Fortell, fortell!
Min søndag har vært veldig god på tross av arbeid faktisk :D Nå er det bare og oppdatere seg litt på nettet og muligens se film før jeg kryper til sengs :) Ha en finfin kveld frøken xx
This smoothie looks terrific, Jules! You're right, it's like the sun is rising :) I've been on a real juice kick lately so this fits my "program" perfectly. Yum! I haven't used Stevia in a drink yet so this should be interesting! I freeze my ginger. It defrosts quickly so I either grate it or cut a piece off.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a favorite combo but my favorite juice still is one I create last year; Apple Parsley Lime. It's green and super refreshing -- much like your Citrus Ginger Coconut Smoothie, by the looks of it!
That's the second heads up I've gotten about the ginger, and what a good advice too! That way I can buy a big chunk and not having to break off a small piece, handy! :D
DeleteApple, parsley and lime sounds really lovely :) And I reckon you should give this one a go to if you're a ginger fan :)
Today when a colleague and I treated ourselves to a meal out after closing the cafê, I had this lovely apple, cucumber and green tea spritzer! Totally not Wintery at all, but so tasty and refreshing :D x
