Q: Is this good for daily use?
A: Yes, in moderation. 3–4 times a week is a good balance for most people.
Q: Can I make it without a blender?
A: You can use a juicer instead for a smoother texture.

A: People prone to kidney stones or with low blood pressure should consult a doctor before frequent use.
Q: Any variations?
A: Add carrot for extra sweetness, or orange juice for a citrus boost.
