There are great benefits of drinking wheatgrass daily. Wheatgrass is grown from the wheat seed (sometimes called wheat berries ). Wheatgrass has been popularized as a health food as well as a medicinal supplement. This “superfood” is packed with vitamins and minerals. In addition to using cut wheatgrass for your smoothies, you can make wheatgrass juice or wheatgrass shots (usually 2-4 ounces) to use as well.
Make this smoothie recipe one of your favorite breakfast smoothie recipes that jump starts your morning, and adds quick energy to your day. Perfect for those hot days of summer!
Cooking Tip: This refreshing fruit smoothie is the consistency of a slushy. If you would like to “power drink” instead of sip, you may wish to reduce the amount of ice and increase the coconut water.

Directions
- Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. We suggest using a high powered style of blender.

- Continue to water every other day.
