Wheatgrass: Your New Go-To Companion for Your Green Smoothies

Posted by Baton Jones on January 10th, 2022

Wheatgrass is a grass that grows from wheat seeds (sometimes called wheat berries). It’s very simple to grow with wheat grain -Take the organic wheat seeds for sprouting and put them in soil, and you\'ll have fresh, emerald-green wheatgrass growing in only a few days. Cut the grass at the soil\'s base and put it in a quiet smoothie blender, and you\'ll have one of the world\'s healthiest drinks.

The Health Benefits of Wheatgrass

The benefits of using wheatgrass in your green smoothie, as well as how to do so regardless of which form you use, are outlined here-

Adding Wheatgrass to Your Smoothies

Wheatgrass is best consumed when it is cut fresh and juiced right away. That way, you\'ll get the highest possible mineral, enzyme, antioxidant, and vitamin concentration. You can\'t mash it up like you might other leafy greens since the grass is so fibrous and, well, grasslike.

Organic wheat seeds for sprouting can be found in the vegetable area of most health food stores and specialized supermarkets near the fresh herbs and sprouts. Buy from brands like Biovie who sell the genuine wheat seeds and well, a quiet smoothie blender for your ease.

The Right Amount Intake - It’s Important

Drinking 1 ounce of fresh wheatgrass juice per day is more than plenty to get started, especially if you\'re new to wheatgrass. If you drink too much wheatgrass at once, the intense and fast detox impact, or cleansing response, that wheatgrass has on the liver might make you feel nauseous.

When it comes to wheatgrass drink, less is certainly more when it comes to consumption. If you\'re feeling good, gradually increase to 2 to 3 ounces of fresh wheatgrass juice or 3 tablespoons of wheatgrass powder each day.
