Grow Your Own Wheatgrass

 

Seriously, everyone should grow their own wheatgrass...and yes, it is totally legal. In just 10 days, you can have a delicious and healthy power juice. You might be wondering, why wheatgrass? It has so many beneficial properties! Wheatgrass is packed with chlorophyll which some studies claim is a cancer preventive. It helps blood flow, aids in digestion and promotes the body's natural detoxifying process. All you needs is one small one to two ounce shot! Beware, it is an acquired taste, so for any of you newbies, have a glass of juice handy to shoot it down with!
