The first time I tried wheatgrass juice was about seven or eight years ago.
I thought it would taste like the sweet green juices, that you can purchase in health food stores.
The tasty ones made up from different fruit like apple and pear.
Well, I was in for a surprise.
I wish I could report that it was a refreshing and tasty beverage but wheatgrass juice really tastes like..
..
Grass.
Considering it's only a shot of juice, as gross as I think it is, it's equivalent to 2.
2lbs of vegetables.
That's a pretty generous helping of veggies for only a little drink of juice.
If you have trouble eating enough vegetables, try taking wheat grass shots once in a while.
I wouldn't recommend completely substituting veggies for juice because whole vegetables have fibre and antioxidants, but drinking wheatgrass juice is beneficial in many ways.
