# Expert Hints:

01 -

It tastes nothing like you're doing yourself a favor, which is honestly the highest compliment a detox juice can receive.
Ten minutes from fridge to glass means you'll actually make it, not just think about making it.
Your body notices the difference by day three, I promise.

02 -

Making juice in a blender and not straining it is technically a smoothie, and there's nothing wrong with that except don't expect the same silky mouthfeel.
If your juice tastes aggressively bitter, you added too much kale or ginger—dial it back next time because balance is everything.
