Good to know

Green, pure and refreshing. A morning drink that doesn't flood you with fruit sugar.

Swaps

Lemon → lime (limes bring a slightly milder, floral acidity to the drink).

Cooking tips

A powerful blender is a must here. Weak machines leave stringy bits that scratch your throat when you drink.

Storage

The water separates after a few minutes. Just stir well before each sip.
