How to Blend Wheat Grass in a Blender

Turning wheatgrass into juice is an effective way to include nutritious green vegetables into your diet, as wheatgrass juice contains essential amino acids, magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron and vitamins A, B, C and E, as well as enzymes that will aid digestion. If a juicer is prohibitively expensive or if you aren't sure if you're ready to invest in a juicer, a blender is an acceptable alternative, and will give you an opportunity to benefit from this healthy food. However, a blender won't retain as many nutrients as a juicer.
