Wheatgrass Shot from JuiceWorks Mid Valley |
I had my wheatgrass shot at JuiceWorks Mid Valley after my event on saturday. It is prepared from pure and wholesome wheatgrass that are
freshly harvested and juiced on the spot upon orders and served in small shots
with a wedge of orange to balance its slightly bitter taste or added into a
juice or smoothie. I prefer to drink mine neat, just the pure wheatgrass
without mixing with juice or smoothies.
It's recommended to take one ounce a day and gradually build it
to two ounces. But because wheatgrass is so potent, all you really need is just
two ounces a day to enjoy its many benefits. It’s also best to take it on an
