What is wheatgrass juice?

Don’t be fooled by appearances. Wheatgrass looks like plain grass from your lawn, but it is considered to be a superfood! In this article you will learn about the many benefits of wheatgrass and easy ways to consume it.

Wheatgrass is the young grass of the common wheat plant. Its nutrient density is very high. You can purchase it at your local natural foods store.

This pink elixir contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids and living enzymes. Wheatgrass & Dragon Fruit Juice is made with nut milk bag and a blender, therefore no juicer is required to make it!

Wheatgrass is rich in chlorophyll and when paired with fresh herbs and fruits, you get a delicious tonic! I recommend using this juicing technique with an array of fresh herbs and spices, such as coriander, parsley, turmeric, ginger, etc. These are also excellent sources of several micronutrients and they have detoxifying properties!
