Juicing Day
Most centrifugal force juicers like the popular Jack LaLanne juicer can not juice wheat grass. A masticating juicer like a Green Star is optimal. We “juice” our wheat grass by clipping one cup of grass and adding ½ cup of pure water to the dry container of our Vitamix. We blend until it turns to green pulpy liquid. Then, we strain out the pulp through a simple wire tea strainer into a glass. Usually we add it to our carrot juice mix.
Warning: Never drink more than a 1 or 2 ounce shot of wheat grass at a time.
When we juiced our first batch of wheat grass with water in the Vitamix we figured that the water in the blender had diluted it quite a bit so we drank about ½ cup – WRONG! We initially felt an energy rush which was followed closely by an upset stomach and nausea. We didn’t actually throw up, (sorry for that visual) but it was very close. Isn’t it nice to know that wheat grass juice is a powerful detox-er and such a very potent nutritional boost?
