Are ginger smoothies good for you?

Yes, they are! That's because they contain ginger, which reduces inflammation. Ginger also supports the immune system, so it may protect against chronic diseases and help support recovery from colds and flu.

Can you leave the skin on ginger for a smoothie?

Yes, you can. Once you blend it, you can't even tell that the skin is there. Just remember to wash the skin before using it.

Do you refrigerate ginger?

Yes, that's because it lasts longer in the fridge. In fact, if you refrigerate it whole with the skin intact in an airtight plastic bag, and placed in the crisper drawer, it can last up to two months.
