Smoothies are so much more than a drink, these days. They've become meals just as much as slurpable snacks, taking the place of our cereal bowl at breakfast or even our salad at lunch.
Add this smoothie recipe to your weekend morning breakfast or mid-day refreshment list. With fresh pineapple, apple, black currants, nuts and seeds, this smoothie makes your morning a bit easier, healthier and delicious.
One natural super-ingredient that is somewhat uncommon and generally overlooked is wheatgrass.
Grow Wheatgrass Indoors for Juicing
Here’s is a simple project that literally anyone can do. Just start out with any empty container you have without soil right on your kitchen corner.
Wheatgrass is so famous for its health benefits. But many dislike the taste of fresh wheatgrass shots, but there’s a way to drink it and actually enjoy it!
Wheatgrass juice is often added to fruit smoothies or you can mix it with other juices. But do not mix with citrus juice, because the citrus is killing the enzymes.
Here you’ll find the healthiest, most delicious wheatgrass smoothie recipes that actually turn this green into a treat.
For best results, drink it immediately after juicing it. Even though it can be consumed up to 12 hours after juicing it. Of course, the sooner you drink it, the more alive the enzymes.
This Wheatgrass Smoothie recipe shows you how interesting it is to do! If you are still timid about the greens, just start with a small amount of wheatgrass and build your way up. You can always balance it with any fruit you like, which will provide more fiber to keep your bowels moving.
Notes :
According to the ‘Wheatgrass book by Dr. Ann Wigmore, wheatgrass juice has many anti-aging properties, it can be used as a nutritional supplement, or it can be used as part of a healing regime to treat illness.
Many people use wheatgrass juice to boost the immune system, improve energy, or as a detoxifier. It is considered a superfood, and one of nature’s most potent medicines, and many even believe it to be the elixir of life.
Furthermore, wheatgrass is completely gluten-free as the wheatgrass is cut before the plant forms a grain and therefore it has no gluten.
Is wheatgrass safe for kids ?
Wheatgrass is a plant which can be eaten in its natural form. It is safe for kids over the age of two
But, if your kids are allergic to wheat, you should also avoid wheatgrass entirely just to be safe.
Wheatgrass smoothie
Ingredients:
Wheatgrass shots
(2 cups small fruit pieces of your choice)
1 cup pineapple, cubed
1 cup green apple, peeled and cubed
Some black currants
Some walnuts
Some pumpkin seeds
A tsp of chia seed
Some honey
Method :
Here I have a lush tupperware organic homegrown wheatgrass.
With a pair of scissors cut as low as you can. The light-colored stems at the bottom of the wheatgrass are the juiciest part.
Blend the wheatgrass.
Then, when you have the wheatgrass juice ready, just pour it back into the blender jar and add the rest of the fruits.
(Do not sift away the fiber. Without fiber in the mix, the juice is essentially just the natural sugars and water found in its ingredients)
Enjoy !
