Healthy wheatgrass - grow it yourself

Wheatgrass

They say its really healthy...wheatgrass. So i thought I'd give it a try. You can take it as a powder, a pill or the cow way... just eating grass. 

Benefits

I'm not a nutritionist buts here are my findings on the benefits of wheatgrass. Its detoxifying. Lowers blood pressure. It's cleansing. It contains lots of vitamins and minerals. It's an energy booster. And lots more.

How to grow it

Growing wheatgrass is very easy. You can bur the seeds in your local bio-shop. I'm Dutch so they are called 'tarwegraszaad'. 

You just have to take a plastic tray and put some cotton pads in it. Add some water to it. The first day you can add a lot of water. When you tilt the tray it should flow a little. Put the seeds in it. It will take around seven or eight days to grow.  

How to use it

When its fully grown you can juice it or mix it in a smoothie.

Summer Smoothie

I just got into making smoothies. To be honest, at first I didn't really like them. If you make one with vegetables they are hard to drink. Recently I thought I give it a try again. I looked up some recipes and they turned out great. I make them for breakfast quite a lot now. Here is the recipe of the one above:

Ingredients:

• Frozen summer fruit
• 1/2 banana
• Yogurt or almond milk

Mix all the above ingredients in a blender. Easy as that.
