drink wheatgrass

I was at Jamba Juice with my husband and decided that I’d always wanted to try wheatgrass, so why not do it then and there. They made me the shot and gave me a slice of orange. It was gone in a second, and not an unpleasant experience. I think I’d do it again.

I want to start drinking this. I have some friends who’re into it (and have been for years) so I’ve known about it for a long time.

I’m really interested to give it a go as part of my lifestyle. I know it tastes weird- of grass(!)- but the fact that it is so, so good for you completely out-weighs any misgivings I may have about how it tastes.

The chemical structure of wheatgrass (or rather, the chlorophyll in it) is a fraction off from haemoglobin apparently, so you can imagine how fantastic it must be for our bloodcells! Not to mention everything else it helps.

I think a shot or 2 of this wheatgrass juice a day is perfect for people who’re on the go and don’t have the time or maybe money to eat leafy green salads all the time or lots of veg in general.

Anyways, I’m gonna see how I go with it but I think it’s probably well worth anyone trying it out! You’ve got nothing to lose right? I certainly wouldn’t mind a natural boost of energy every afternoon!

This document that I found on Google provides an easy to read and understand guide to Wheatgrass and puts forwards some things that I wouldn’t have thought of, for example, you should drink it on an empty stomach if you want to detox so it can be absorbed faster but then the problem with this is that you may feel nausious- but I guess that just means it’s working!?

Once or twice a week for a little while now, I’ve been trying wheatgrass in addition to my usual fresh juice while on lunch. It’s an interesting experience, which I’m sort of sold on. I do feel a nice peppy hit of energy, but at the same time, it does taste unsurprisingly of grass.

I can tell the difference between fresh green stuff, and some of the more sorry looking efforts, so am now more picky about when I ask for a shot, and maybe it’s all just in my head. But, I’m glad I’ve given it a try – though I’d only recommend it to my more open minded friends, because as much as I do feel better for it, you do have to get over the grass taste. Though when it’s really fresh, I kinda like it, but in an interesting, rather then a tasty way.

Its HORRABLE!

But lime rickeys and applegrasses are supernice (if a bit eye-opening at first…)

ok go get some grass, put it in your blender, now drink it. It tastes like grass right? Thats wheatgrass basically. Oh and that experience just cost you 3 dollars.
