I like to make wheatgrass shot at home for a detox of 1 week or 2, especially after Christmas or holidays. It is a perfect way to detoxify your body and you feel it. This easy detox wheatgrass shot recipe is a bomb for your body.
But how to improve the taste?
I have to admit that wheatgrass shots have a grassy taste but it’s slightly sweet at the same time. So I use to mix my shot with coconut water or fresh squeezed orange juice, depending of my mood. It is definitely drinkable this way and even nice.
In Hawaii, during my holidays, I used to have a wheatgrass shot and to bite a piece of orange, straight after.
Fresh wheatgrass or powder?
Actually, you can buy wheatgrass at the supermarket or at the farm (even in Bahrain I bought it fresh from the supermarket but it is not always available). And you can even grow your own wheatgrass if you fancy that. It seems to be very easy.
If you really don’t have time or you can’t find some fresh ones, you can buy wheatgrass powder in organic supermarkets too. You’ll just have to blend together 1 tablespoon of powder with water and coconut water or orange juice.
You can even add this wheatgrass powder to your daily smoothie.
Top Tip
If you check online you’ll see that there are probably 100 good reasons to drink wheatgrass. It seems to contain over 90 minerals, to aid the body’s digestive process, to boost your metabolism and to help to burn fat.
A glass of wheatgrass juice is full of chlorophyll, helping to clean the skin from the inside (after a week of wheatgrass I see the difference on my skin) with a strong alkalizing effect.
Finally, it seems to be an excellent source of natural energy !

Hi, So right ! I would recommend to juice it once, use what you need and freeze the rest in a large silicone ice cube tray. So it will be easy to use every day and you’ll have all the vitamins too!
