Someone should make mini lawnmower's for wheatgrass
I looked down at the small cup—it looked like a pool of swampy algae. Carefully I brought the plastic to my lips, breathing in air and this scent, this scent that reeked of “aged grass.” I can do it I thought, as I looked up at four eager faces. It’s just wheatgrass.
Tonight I went to Jamba Juice with some friends and was coaxed into trying wheatgrass. The workers cut the long pieces of grass from a plant, grind it up, and then put the pricy juice in a plastic container that is similar to what one would take Nyquil in.
Plastic cup stuck to my lips, I sucked in the foamy swamp with one swift sip, and chocked it down. A flavor that I imagine would be similar to a bite of my grandparent’s garden, filled my taste buds, but in a sense it wasn’t that bad, it was a natural taste right? The greenish goop slid down my throat and suddenly I felt stronger (on a subconscious level of coarse,) because this “health juice” was in me.
According to Jamba Juice, wheatgrass has some great benefits for ones body. Due to its content of chlorophyll and the fact that it contains all amino acids it’s nutritional. Some great benefactors are that it detoxifies your blood, makes your skin look better, assists in digestion, helps metabolize energy and fat, and helps bolsters your immune system.
So, if you are ever at a Jamba Juice and you want an overpriced, but healthy drink, then take a sip of the syrupy green stuff, and see what benefits wheat grass can have on you.
