# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Having wellness shots ready in the freezer means you will actually remember to take them instead of forgetting until you feel run down
  • The black pepper trick genuinely helps your body absorb all that turmeric goodness
02 -
  • Fresh turmeric will stain your cutting board, hands, and clothes so work carefully and maybe use an old wooden board
  • Straining is worth the extra minute because unstrained cubes can have an unpleasant fibrous texture
03 -
  • Make a double batch because the blender cleanup effort is the same and these disappear quickly
  • If fresh turmeric is hard to find, ground turmeric works perfectly though the color may be slightly less vibrant
