What’s so great about wheatgrass? Freshly squeezed wheatgrass comes from a young wheat plant. You can buy it in capsules, bottled, powered or get it fresh from a juicer. Wheatgrass contains high levels of antioxidants and chlorophyll (the phytochemical that causes the green colour in plant leaves, and algae). Wheatgrass has many benefits including strengthening your immune system, improving digestion, clear skin and boosting energy.
A downside is that it doesn’t taste very good. My suggestion is to try it freshly juiced in a shot glass with a chaser, mix it in a glass of juice or in in a smoothie with your protein and fresh fruit.
