i added a piece of garlic! yummm. used to do juicing in a different well reviewed machine but Blendtec blew me away!
I just did, it was better to have the whole fruit, just stronger. I also added a tsp of apple cider vinegar. Overall, could use just a touch of something sweeter to balance.
So I am just starting this smoothie adventure and this is not for the faint of heart! Hello green!
Haha, whoops. First time I made this I read the greens portion as "tightly packed", not "lightly". The blender still powered through it with no cavitation though! Made for an intense, but still tasty, dose of greens!
You can do that! You’ll just have to make sure there’s enough water in the jar to blend the ginger and then strain it through a nut milk bag or something similar. However, if you were just going to put it in whole, the peel is thicker and more fibrous so it won’t break down all the way.
