Well, I must say, it won’t be delicious as the previous recipes. But, many people tend to drink direct juice from wheatgrass. It is more beneficial. Here I am showing the steps to prepare it.
Process of Using Juicer
- First you have to gather some fresh wheatgrass. You can grow it in your yard in just 2 days. Or else you can buy from the market. 300-gram wheatgrass will be enough to prepare 200 ml juice.
- Now cut the grasses into a very lower size.
- Now wash them off and take away all the leaves that turned yellow.
- Take a juicer and clean it. Pass some wheatgrass through it. Turn on the juice and collect the juice.

- Put wheatgrass and half a cup of water into the blender.

You can store the juice in the fridge. For that, take them into short glass vials and seal them properly. If you don’t have them then you can use an ice-cube tray to store them in frozen condition.
