Wheatgrass Juice Is Nature’s Finest Medicine

What do Madonna, Julia Roberts and Drew Barrymore have in common— aside from being famous stars? Well, the three stars drink WHEATGRASS JUICE!!!

Wheatgrass juice, as the name suggests, is the juice of a grass. More specifically, wheatgrass is a young grass in the wheat family that contains no gluten.

Wheatgrass juice is nature’s finest medicine.

Two ounces of wheatgrass juice (a wheatgrass shot!) has the nutritional equivalent of 1 kg of the best leafy, green, organic vegetables.

If you need some further convincing that your diet should include wheatgrass shots: Wheatgrass juice contains up to 70% chlorophyll, which is an important blood builder. (It helps to increase your red blood-cell count and cleans your blood and organs.

AND wheatgrass provides:

- 60x more vitamin C than oranges
- 50x more vitamin E than spinach
- 30x more vitamin B1 than milk
- 11x more calcium than milk
- 5x more iron than spinach
- 5x more magnesium than bananas

Although wheatgrass is already very popular, it can be hard to find, but you may be lucky in juice bars. You can also grow your own wheatgrass by soaking wheatgrass seeds in water and then harvesting and blending the leaves as they grow. Pro tip: Wheatgrass juice must be consumed fresh—within 15 minutes of juicing for the best results.

A good alternative to fresh wheatgrass juice is wheatgrass powder with 100% pure, whole leaf wheatgrass. The taste of fresh wheatgrass juice is definitely acquired, so if you find the taste unpleasant, you can mix it in a fruit smoothie or another another blended juice. Happy juicing!
