I’ve started to re-evaluate my current eating habits and have decided to start up with the wheatgrass again. I treated myself to a tray of the stuff on a trip to Rachel-Bery this past weekend. A word of warning: when you’re walking along the street carrying a tray of grass, strangers will stop you to ask about it.
While it’s really hard to drink shots of the pure juice, I absolutely love mixing it into a smoothie. I just throw half a cup of frozen blueberries, 3/4 cup of soymilk, 2 tablespoons of flax oil, a tablespoon of maple syrup, a heaping tablespoon of peanut butter, plus a banana and 2 kiwis.*
Do you have cats? My cats go nuts for wheatgrass. They get excited when I get home with a tray, and will try anything to get to it. I cut a small bunch and feed it to them. M likes to take his time, while N is like a little lawnmower. They’re super cute.
* Though I’m a proponent of eating locally, I’ve taken the decision to start eating bananas and other exotic fruit again. Explanation to follow soon.
