Make your morning health routine easier by preparing a recipe ONCE… and then using it all week long!
Take these quick and easy wheat grass shots for example. Just 10 minutes of “work” in the kitchen will provide you a healthy and wholesome “shot” for every day of the week.
What Is Wheat grass?
Wheatgrass is the young grass of the wheat plant, Triticum aestivum.
It is a natural source of vitamins and minerals and grows in temperate regions throughout the U.S.A. and Europe. Being able to live outdoors or indoors, you can grow your own wheatgrass by putting wheat seeds in water and then harvesting the leaves!
We used it in our green juice powder, Organifi, because it is known as the “lifeblood” of plant life - even the ancient Egyptians worshiped wheatgrass for it’s positive health benefits.
