FAQ
Q: Can I drink this juice every day?
A: While it’s safe to drink regularly, 3–4 times per week is sufficient. Overconsumption of ginger or acidic lemon juice daily may irritate the stomach.
Q: Will this juice alone make me lose weight?
A: No drink is a magic solution. This juice complements a healthy diet and active lifestyle—it’s a helpful tool, not a complete solution.
Q: Is it okay to drink this juice on an empty stomach?
A: Yes, it’s even encouraged. The ingredients work well to kickstart digestion and metabolism when consumed first thing in the morning.
Q: Can I use canned pineapple?
A: Fresh pineapple is recommended for its enzyme content and lack of added sugars. Canned versions may reduce the juice’s overall effectiveness.
Q: What’s the best blender for this recipe?
A: Any standard blender will do. For a silky texture, a high-speed blender is ideal, especially if you’re not straining the juice.
