Wheatgrass Juice

[Hebbie]

Does anyone out there drink Wheatgrass juice regularly?

I have had it a few times over the past year or so, but discovered this morning that the restaurant/juice bar in my office lobby sells it in small "shot glasses" (1 oz shot or 2 oz shot), so I had a 1 oz "shot".

It's supposed to be SUPER GOOD for your body, but taste like you are drinking clippings from your freshly cut lawn

Any thoughts?

Interesting, Katie -- I LIVE at the local Whole Foods Market (less than a mile from my house), but I don't think they sell it there, other than frozen packets, which taste watery when defrosted.

It's funny -- I never even knew this juice place in my office lobby sold the stuff, and while I was ordering it, I bumped into a co-worker who said she drinks it daily, and then another guy came in off the street and asked if they sold wheatgrass juice.

I was a little concerned that perhaps no one really drank it and their wheatgrass was sitting there, getting moldy on a shelf or something, but apparently they have a pretty high turnover on the stuff so it must be pretty fresh.

They juice it for you on the spot and give it to you in a little shot glass to drink right away. Pretty interesting stuff!

I take a product called "Complete Greens" which contains Wheat Grass, among many other ingredients.

They sell it in shots at whole foods near me too! You are encouraged to hold it in your mouth before swallowing although I am not sure why. I have heard it can be put into smoothies. It is actually picked right there and blended before your eyes.
