An orange-ginger smoothie without a long ingredient list

Blend one peeled orange, half a banana, half a cup of cold water, and a quarter teaspoon of finely grated ginger for a simple orange-ginger smoothie. Follow your blender's instructions and add more water if it needs help moving the fruit.

Taste before adding more ginger. A small amount can be noticeable in a short ingredient list. If you prefer a thinner drink, add water gradually rather than blending for longer and expecting the texture to change completely.

This recipe uses whole fruit in the blender, so it will not have the same texture as a strained ginger shot. That is the point. Serve it as a smoothie, with a spoon if needed, instead of trying to squeeze it into a tiny bottle.
