Did you know that I used to be vegan? For three years. I started eating nonvegan foods at the end of 2004, but I still appreciate many vegan dishes and treats.
When I saw Wheatgrass on clearance with the salads at Kroger this week, I couldn't resist picking some up. It's been ages since I've done a wheatgrass shot.
Wheatgrass is proclaimed as a superfood; many believe it is instrumental in fighting disease, particularly cancer.
All I know is that after you take a shot of it, you feel a delicious energy.
So I dusted off our juicer. Which hasn't been put to use in a very long time. In fact, I wasn't sure I remembered how to use it.
The wheat grass got a hair cut.
Ideally, wheatgrass wouldn't have so much yellow in it. I supposed that's why it was marked down. Must've been raised in a greenhouse - it is January after all.
I didn't have enough for a full shot, so I added in 1 carrot and 1 kiwi and juiced those too.
The result:
It's certainly an acquired taste.
Kind of reminds me of horse breath.
And mowed summer lawns.
Let the energy begin!
I've never had a wheatgrass shot, and I have to say that when I read that it reminded you of horse breath, I'm not so sure that I want to try one, ha ha! It does look really healthy and refreshing, though :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll pass on the grass....:)JP
ReplyDeleteNice picture of you! If you can smile after drinking that, you must really like it (or you are a good actress!) :)
ReplyDeleteCheers! I hope it filled you with energy.
ReplyDeleteLove the horse breath... I've never tried it, but somehow I think I'd like it - I love grasses and grains. Or maybe not in such a concentrated dose. :)
ReplyDeleteWheat grass? that's a new one for me.. When you said it was like horse breathe ~ m-m- take a big breath and gulp it down and then have a glass of milk to chase it down.. Don't give any to the boys they have enough energy.. Have a tiggeriffic day~! ta ta for now from Iowa....
