How to Make Wheatgrass Shots
Making wheatgrass shots is literally the easiest process ever. Especially when you consider the cost of buying the wheatgrass and how much it produces. Far better than running to the health food store, etc. to buy a “million-dollar” shot of the good shit.
Spent your COVID days on the booze-train like literally every other American I know? Enjoyed your fair share of frozen cocktails and wines this summer? It’s time to DETOX the crap outta your body. You should start with about 1/2 a shot every morning as soon as you wake up. Of course, you can add it to a smoothie, or you can add an orange or any other fruit when blending, too. However, I recommend to fully detox your hot-bod, take wheatgrass shots straight up – no training wheels. 😉 Graduate to one full shot – put on those big-boy pants!
Wheatgrass is a superfood! Packed with vitamins A, C, E, K, and B complex. For all of you old smokers or asthmatics, it also aids in respiratory function. Wheatgrass juice can help detox by eliminating toxins, aid in cell production, lower blood sugar, and the chlorophyll helps to support healthy liver function. *It is also packed with proteins, enzymes, iron, calcium, magnesium, phytonutrients, and 17 amino acids.*
Honestly, suck up the fact that wheatgrass tastes like, you guessed it, grass! And know that you’re detoxing and loving your body in the biggest and “bestest” of ways. You’ll save loads of moola and have loads of wheatgrass shots ready at your disposal every morning. Don’t buy, make. I try to live by that as often as I can. Your wallet and your health will thank you.

How to Make Wheatgrass Shots
Ingredients-
1 small (they are usually sold in a similar size – reference picture below) wheatgrass plant
1-2 C water
Will need-
A nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or very small sieve/strainer (like the one in my pictures below)
Vitamix or high-powered blender
Pitcher
Directions–
Wash and then cut the wheatgrass as low as possible (look at picture below) – get all of the green grass
Place wheatgrass and 1 cup of water into the blender and blend on high (until everything is fully blended and smooth). Add another cup of water if you would like to thin it out more
Pour the contents of the blender over your nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or very small sieve/strainer, and into the pitcher to collect your wheatgrass juice
Done!
*Save the wheatgrass for up to a week in your fridge. You may freeze the wheatgrass as well
I wanted to attach a favorite song about the earth for this post. Wheatgrass just might taste like the earth, but it is the plants like this that grow on our beautiful planet that can make our bodies a force to be reckoned with. Enjoy some Joni!
