- Now at its best: Broccoli
A bright smoothie made with blueberries, broccoli, spinach and banana, finished with lemon and a touch of ginger. It drinks fresh, smooth and lively, with just enough sweetness to balance the green notes.
This is the kind of smoothie that opens with fruit first and only then reveals its greener side. The blueberries bring deep purple brightness, the banana softens the texture into something smooth and rounded, and the lemon with ginger leaves a clean, gently spicy finish. Ideal for mornings when you want something refreshing that feels light, yet still carefully put together and full of flavor.

Water 
Fresh ginger Hydration + gingerols for digestion and metabolism
Technical: Water is the medium for all biochemical reactions and nutrient transport. Ginger's gingerols (1.5-3%) are water-soluble and optimally extracted in warm water. Gingerols are studied in research in relation to thermogenesis and digestion. Warm ginger water contains dissolved gingerols.
What does this mean for you? Start your day with warm ginger water — slice fresh ginger and steep for 10 minutes. It gives a warm, spicy start to your day and hydrates at the same time.
