# Additional Tips::

01 -

It tastes like you're treating yourself, but it's so simple you can make it before your coffee even brews.
That ginger kick gives you an actual energy boost without the jitters, plus your skin tends to feel clearer after a week of these.

02 -

I learned the hard way that leaving the cucumber skin on makes everything taste oddly bitter, so always peel it first—this one small step changes everything.
Blending versus juicing makes a real difference: blenders keep all the fiber which makes you feel fuller longer, while a juicer gives you pure liquid that hits your system faster.
