#Recipe: Wheatgrass Smoothie

#Wheatgrass #Smoothie: It tastes as green as it looks!

 

Wheatgrass is actually pretty indigestible for humans. Hence the juicing which should remove all the cellulose. But still, its grassy taste is overpowering.

Preparing wheatgrass is a nightmare if you don’t have a juicer, as you’ll have to strain it through a cheesecloth.

I’m a practical cook, and have no patience for these complicated procedures.

So here a recipe that does not require straining, and results subsequently in a real thick smoothie. 😮

 

 

Ingredients:

1 portion of wheatgrass

1 chunk of peeled ginger, dice-sized or according to taste

1 peeled & pitted lemon

2 peeled & pitted oranges

1 spoon of honey, if you’ve got a sweet tooth

1 dash of cinnamon, if you want to add a bit of spice

 

Throw all ingredients in a blender until smooth.

 

The ginger alone gives this smoothie a fibrous texture. Together with the cellulose loaden wheatgrass and the pulp of the citrus fruits you might be tempted to chew a little on this one. 😉

 

Bonus Tip: Put the wheatgrass first into the blender, as it’s so flimsy it’ll take ages to stuff it down so it mixes in. Putting the lemon and oranges on top of the wheatgrass will weigh it down.
